Mickayla played in the wading pool Grandma had for her. She pretended to be the Little Mermaid. She wanted me to be a friend she would meet on the beach. So we were talking and she said that she came to find Prince Derek. (I decided to tease her as we played so....) I told her that I knew Prince Derek. We were going to get married. This really changed what she had planned. She said no, it couldn't be my prince Derek. Your prince is fat, my prince Derek is skinny. I could not help but laugh.
She then went on to say lets pretend you are someone else now. I told her, okay who shall I be. She said, "someone nice". 

Dad's new office
Dad has rented an office in down town Redmond. It is a nice building on Union Hill road. It is 5 minutes from home. I think he is very happy with it. 

This is Dad's office. He has a very nice L shaped desk, a beautiful book case, matching file cabinet and a little refrigerator. 

Happy Father's Day Dad
Dad had a nice father's day. As you see he had his adoring fans listening to him read the funnys after church.  

Dad spent Father's day playing Risk with his sons. In fact I believe the boys "let" him win. :)
 

Dad loved his tent for father's day. We are excited to use it, espically Mickayla 

Reed gave one of the quotes at the end of Baccalaureate as he put out the candle at the end of the program. He looked so handsome.

Will loves to play with the cat. Of course he is very clever how he does it. 

Will slowly move into position.  

Then he gives it a strong yank! 

After one mishap with Lillians brick wall, Mickayla learned to ride her bike. Really once she was practicing on the street instead off the curvy road she did great. She learned amazingly fast. She likes to practice riding her bike in the back yard. She is really good now! 

Reed's birthday
Reed had a very nice birthday. We had to have it a few days early. We wanted everyone to come that could. Reed loved all his gifts. He is all set for college now. He has a ####### cookbook, school supplies, money to buy what he is missing, games to play with friends, a blanket and a computer. He is thrilled. 

Scritpure Mastery night was Thursday the 25th. We had over 130 students show up. They all seemed to have fun. I know that this is blurry but this gives you an idea of a small section of the gym that was filled with Seminary students doing their scripture mastery competition. As for me I am just glad it is done!!!!!!!

We had a small birthday celebration for Brett the night before his birthday. Noone was going to be around for his birthday, including him. So we celebrated at 9:30 the night before. Brett and Reed came and helped me clean up the Scritpure Mastery activity and then we rushed home to have brownies and ice cream and open birthday presents.  

Brett's first birthday cake is the funniest one ever. He had left over brownies from the Scritpure Mastery night. 

Our family can never do just one birthday. Here is Brett's second birthday that was on Sunday. We had a much better turn out to this party. Good thing we did two!
