The Jim & Sharman Bloods--Summer 09

Having figured out how to upload pictures to my Facebook account, I now feel sufficiently confident to conquer the next frontier: posting pictures to the family blog. I am unstoppable, supremely skilled. I shall prevail. (And you thought we weren't posting because we're just lazy.)

Jake & Kate at the deYoung Museum in San Francisco. King Tut was a no show, but there was a lot of other very cool, very old stuff from Egypt.

Nat's first driving lesson at Thanksgiving Point...

Jim and I were by far the youngest adults (Jake is a young adult...) in the audience at the Carmel Bach Festival's Tower Music presentation. Jim and I felt young(ish) and spry...

Ok--that took awhile. Next frontier: proper formatting. Baby steps, Sharman. Baby steps...

Okay, so I got tired of looking at Carolyn (grandma!) after 3 weeks and no one else was posting anything about Sadie. Soooo....I stole the pictures off of Daniel & Carly's blog. And I must say that Sadie is absolutely perfect. I got to visit and hold her on Thursday. Congratulations to Daniel and Carly. Check out their blog for more pictures.

Allie

Sad news: Our ever-so-friendly dog and family companion for 10 years, Allie, passed away on Monday. She loved people, had a killer tail, and just needed to be included in everything, including family prayer, meal preparation, and greeting guests at the door. She loved to nose her way under the kids' folded arms during prayer, follow Sharman's every step around the kitchen (she particularly liked to stand guard at the refrigerator), and go on long, long walks with Jim. She didn't always respond to "come," but she ALWAYS came when we said "treat!" We miss her.

Hey, I have cute kids too!

Okay, so maybe they are a little older than Stacey's, but they are still cute. Especially at the BYU football games. Go Cougars! Only a few more weeks (like 8) until football starts. Yay!!

Kids cuter than Kobe

It's time for the egregiousness that has become this blog to be moved from top spot! And so I present you with pictures of something MUCH cuter. My kids!

A couple of weeks ago, the kids caught a garter snake out in the yard. The snake got to go on many adventures and traveled far and wide. Mostly in the grimey hands of a six year old. It's really a miracle they didn't kill the poor snake.

On the 16th, Andrew turned 10! He had a fabulous birthday (for details visit my blog), and I now feel even older than before! I can't believe I'm old enough to have a ten year old! Now that's just scary!

And finally, Andrew and Lillie had their first ever piano recital. It was nothing big, but they did great and it was fun to see! (Again, for more details, see my blog!)

Phew! I feel better now. I could hardly come here anymore knowing I would have to stare at Clenched Jaw! My kids are WAY cuter, if I do say so myself!
