This is a picture that I took while in Oregon. We had such a good time spending time with Lynn’s family. 
One of my favorites
Someone New at Our House
Before Samantha arrived we had been looking at picture ideas for the kids and the family. I loved the ones done like this and I really appreciate everyone who helped to pull it off while I was in bed. I LOVE IT!
Easter 2012
Lynn and the kids all made new dresses for the girls and vests and ties for the boys. It has become an Easter tradition. Lynn has been making Easter dresses for the kids since Aubrè’s first Easter and she finished it by hand in the car on the way to Grandma Applegate’s. Here are some pictures from this years new clothes.
Aubrè’s trip to the Japanese Kitchen
The other day Aubré was talking to Lynn about setting a goal to read the Book of Mormon in three days. Lynn said that if she did that she would take her to dinner. Aubré took Lynn up on the offer and finished the Book of Mormon in three days. Flaherty told Aubré about the Japanese Kitchen. So Aubré, Lynn, Alyxibeth and I all got together and went to the Japanese Kitchen. Alyxibeth sat in a high chair. To keep her entertained Lynn tied her phone to the high chair. Then Lynn’s phone rang and she bent down to answer it. Alyxibeth saw her opportunity and grabbed Lynn’s hair. Thus the picture:
Alyxibeth loved the soup. It was quite good.
It was a very fun experience and we had a lot of fun. I am glad Aubré made the goal and that she was able to follow through.
Look what I did
I just found this program called MobileMonet. It is pretty cool, you start with a picture and it turns it black and white. Then you can “paint” in the color with your finger. This turned out really neat.
in this picture is Aubrè, Emalie, and Katheryne. They are at the Japanese garden at the bio-park.
