We, of course, sent her to bed anyways. I went to her room and noticed she wasn't there. Checked Bryce's room and nope...went to check our room and BAM there she was!!! She was asleep in 2 (yes I said 2!) CLEAN laundry baskets of clothes in hallway! Scared me for a sec but couldn't stop laughing!! She had to been there for about an hour cause if you look closely her head is purple from the bottom of her eyes to the top of her head. That laundry basket had less clothes in it! Poor thing!</span></div>

When we purchased our house, there were many things I was looking forward in doing. Starting a garden was literally at the top of the list! But I have never gardened before and wasn't quite sure how to get started. So I enlisted my my friend Jamie for the veggies and Laura for the flowers and Wow, what a successful garden. </div>

Some broccoli, carrots and potatoes. If you see our carrots now, they are HUGE...Our cucumbers didn't come in, but really I have to say this was a huge success. We were able to share so much of it with our neighbors...it was a wonderful experience.<br />

Bryce said the cutest thing just now...we were walking home from a friends house.<br />
"Mommy, I was good, so can I be in charge?"<br />
Me:"Sure"<br />
"So if the floor is dirty can I sweep it?"<br />
Me: "of course"<br />
"If the counters are dirty can I wipe it with the sponge?"<br />
Me: "of course you can"<br />
"Really?!! Yeah!! I am in charge!"<br />
Me thinking: Sweetie if this is what being in charge means, you can be in charge everyday!<br />

As Melissa would say..."you are very ambitious!" I wanted to paint the entire downstairs and upstairs in 1 week. Yes, I know I am crazy...hahaha. We were able to get the entire downstairs done though. We had a painting party with some of my friends from Federal Way. Had a great time. Donnie and I love color so we had fun picking them out together. Seriously though...it turned out great! I am so thankful that I have such an amazing Brother and Sister in law and sweet friends!<br />

I have more pictures that I will post soon! We sure do love having a house that we can be noisy in and not care about having downstairs neighbors.

We decided to actually hatch butterflies and but them around her garden during the party. So we ordered some catapillers and watched the process happen right before our eyes! I had 2 baskets at my house and every morning the kids would get up to see if anything had happened. You try to explain things but you just never know if they are really listening. <br />
Yesterday I was trying to get some of my work done and Emma was underfoot, so I gave her 3 pieces of papers and told her to go draw me something. This is what she drew and how she explained it. To me, I thought it was AMAZING! She did it all on her own with no help or supervision from me! Smart girl!<br />

We had our own person tour guide through it all starting with Uncle John.</div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JeRB4apII/AAAAAAAAAoA/4olOwpW2Qxc/s1600-h/DSCN0237.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450022145727571074" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JeRB4apII/AAAAAAAAAoA/4olOwpW2Qxc/s400/DSCN0237.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JeJirlGNI/AAAAAAAAAn4/zZK_SJhAikg/s1600-h/DSCN0287.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450022017093146834" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JeJirlGNI/AAAAAAAAAn4/zZK_SJhAikg/s400/DSCN0287.JPG" /></a> The refective pool has very special meaning to Donnie and I. I had gone on a trip with a friend and went to Idaho and Utah. Donnie and I were just dating at the time and it was our first time being away from each other. So he wrote me this letter and I couldn't open it until I was sitting at the reflective pool! Talk about torture for I had to go to Rexburg first and then the next day to Utah! So by the 2nd day we went to Temple square and saw the sites and I was able to open the letter while I was sitting by the refective pool. It was the most romantic and spiritual letter I have ever received. He shared his testimony and hinted at his love for me! For us being there together felt like we came full circle. <br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JeBsNWVjI/AAAAAAAAAnw/Ky8RyABdGt4/s1600-h/DSCN0282.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450021882211751474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JeBsNWVjI/AAAAAAAAAnw/Ky8RyABdGt4/s400/DSCN0282.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JdqVzv9PI/AAAAAAAAAng/UU6jDbgYJYw/s1600-h/DSCN0276.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450021481061807346" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6JdqVzv9PI/AAAAAAAAAng/UU6jDbgYJYw/s400/DSCN0276.JPG" /></a><br />Here we are at the original conference center...Bryce was starting not to feel good and started to throw a fit, which everyone heard!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6Jdh4NievI/AAAAAAAAAnY/6MLt1a6Dw7Q/s1600-h/DSCN0273.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450021335677958898" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_f52hTJR0y_8/S6Jdh4NievI/AAAAAAAAAnY/6MLt1a6Dw7Q/s400/DSCN0273.JPG" /></a> We are so greatful to have found some sisters that were willing to give us a tour.
