Birthdays and such - July 2010

We celebrate birthdays whenever we are able to gather, and sometimes it's ahead, and sometimes behind the actual birthdays. This time - ahead. Haley will be 7 on July 30, and Blake will be 19 on August 4. (And Garrett will be 22 on July 31, but we will not be nearby for that day, unfortunately.) Here are Blake and Haley, ready for presents!

Haley likes her new Barbie Ballerina, and the Barbie car. She loves her new Barbie house, too.

Visiting cousin, Erynn, also got a Barbie Ballerina, so the girls could play together.

GUY STUFF:

Blake is playing something or other on his phone - whatever it is that guys play.

Jared is assembling Bionicle parts. He's very good at it.

GIRL STUFF:

Erynn has a cute hairdo with a pony tail through her cap.

Haley got a haircut and a French Braid.

The girls got toenails painted...the toes belong to Haley, Leslie, and Erynn.

And, last but not least, Erynn sings "Book of Mormon Stories."

The words are: "Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me

Are about the Lamanites in ancient history.

Long ago their fathers came from far across the sea,

Giv'n the land if they lived righteously."

You can see how well Erynn does singing those words. I think she has excellent rhythm, too. One more Edmunds musician......the grandchildren are doing well with music! Bustin' buttons!
