Primary Carnival

Fun in the sun for the primary kids at the church. Savannah helped out with the penny toss. I think the game was rigged.

Jordan liked the clown and enjoyed the parrot balloon until it popped on the ground. Poor Jordan!

Jack enjoyed a cool snowcone in the heat.

Emma and her friend decided to cool off with the waves.

Flowers

So when Dave and I had been married for about two years we were living in Monterey, CA. On the way home from work Dave would pass this little flower stand and he started stopping and buying me flowers. So every few days he would bring me flowers. I loved the flowers but as I sometimes tend to be a brat I started getting a little tired of always getting flowers. I know your saying to yourself what is her problem. Well have you ever had a favorite candy bar and after you eat it a lot you just want something new. Okay, so even I can't make myself sound better. So one day I told Dave that it might be nice if he got me something different every once in awhile. Well as I'm sure you guessed I hurt his feelings and that was the end of the flowers. He didn't buy me flowers again for 7 years and then only under extreme duress. Well I just want to say he has forgiven me and as you can see from the picture he showers an ungrateful wife with beautiful flowers again.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

16. His mischievous grin. How can you stay mad at that?

15. He's a Great Catch! He also loves the outdoors.

14. He's traveled the world and shares it with me.

13. He loves the Lord and willingly serves Him.

12. He married me and took me through the temple.

11. He made St. Louis a wonderful place.

10. He's good at Twister, enough said.

9. He comes from a long line of Great Men!
