Family picture.

Hey everybody! From the post title, you can probably tell that it will be a mostly long picture post.

The other day, we went to the nearest pretty park and were going to take pictures. Turns out... Drew forgot Melody's headband so we had to go back. By then the light was fading so we just stopped at the corner of the highway and got pictures done. All of the pics are above, sorry. Not a lot of words on this post. Let me give you a quick Family update. Drew and I got into the Salt lake children's choir. They are known for REALLY good singing. One of the songs that we are singing now is called Hark Now O Shepherd's. In 1984, the children's choir recorded it with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and it was broadcast all over the world. Last year a couple of them got to be the backup singers for David Archuleta's new album. They have also done the music for a couple of church movies like The Testaments, Joseph Smith, etc. They are Really good. We are also involved in orchestra. Like the choir, this is an AWESOME orchestra. It is called the Timpanogos Chamber Orchestra. TCO for short. We are given 4-5 songs per term, and they are really excellently performed at the end of the term. Drew and I are in the Junoir Orchestra, Drew is in the Cello section, and I am in the 1st violins. I am going to try out for first chair. That will be cool. Hyrum is in the intermediate orchestra in the cello section. The Intermediate Orchestra has only a couple of wongs, but for the ages in the orchestra, they sound quite good. Last of all, today I was made the Beehives Class president. I already have my two counselors and secratary. I think it will be fun. OK, enough words, look at the pictures. Have fun!

Anne

OK, I guess it's now or never.

I am going to learn to be an obituary writer through trial and error. Our youngest goat died yesterday. We were picking up our yard and we noticed that Lynnete(Nettie) was panting and not drinking any water. We changed her water and tried to force her to drink the water, but she just either couldn't or wouldn't. Mom told us to bring her to the front porch. We did, and mom handed Maelie to me and told me to take her inside. She said that if Nettie had a disease, she did not want Melody getting it and I don't blame her. Mom tried to feed Nettie a bottle, but she wouldn't take it. She passed away a few minutes after that. That evening, Drew and I went out and dug a nice little grave. We had a little funeral service, and quite a few tears were shed. Myself included. The kids went and picked a whole bunch of flowers(weeds) and spread them over the top of the grave. I know that she is just a goat, but we liked her. Bye

K, sorry to back so soon!:(

Quotable Quotes part 1

You know how Readers Digest has that section, 'Quotable Quotes' well, I decided to copy it. YAY!!! K most of these are Bubbie's, but there are some in here from others.:)
This is my cousin lydia. They were coming to our house in the setting.
They just pulled up in front of a gas station.
Lydia: "Hurry, get out! It's Bubba's house!":)

I was playing house with Bubbie and Elsa. They were the parents and I was the 2 year old daughter. It was raining and I was outside riding my bike.
Bubbie: "Come inside daughter, you'll be sick."
Me: "No way dad."
Bubbie: "Then stay outside."
Me: "Can I go to New York and live in a cardboard box?"
Bubbie: "OK"

Our cousins the Williams were over and we were playing orphanage. Emma and Myra were the Mistresses.
Esther: "Mistress, what would you like me to do for you?"
Emma: "Go and get some bacon and eggs."
Esther: "For us at the breakfast table?"
Emma: " Of course not you dog. They are for the dogs."
Esther: "That means they're for us!"

More later, you goats. I've got to go feed the goats.

OUR FAMILY TRIBUNE



SKYFIRE, THE CAT WHO THINKS SHE IS A LION

Our Family just recently got a cat. Anne's violin teacher has a lot of cats. 2 of her cats were pregnant, and the we got one of the kittens. The cat is a girl, and is named Skyfire. Skyfire can be sweet and cuddly at some times, but at others, she is wild. When Hyrum and Drew feed the baby goats, she will attack from behind, sending the baby goats running. When you walk past the garage, she will leap out at you, snarling. She will attack your leg as if it is a mouse.
No matter how wild this cat may be, however, she is dearly loved, might I say a little too loved by Caleb, if you know what I mean.


The Sound Of Music In Our Household

The sound of music is always present in the our home. Emmaline plays the violin and piano, Hyrum plays the cello and piano, Andrew plays the cello and piano, Anne plays the violin, piano, flute, guitar, and organ, and the mother, Amy, plays the piano and guitar. With all of these instruments in the house, when you step through the door, you are greeted by and orchestra. With the music ranging from O Divine Redeemer on the piano, to Orange Blossom Special on the violin, to Rondo on the cello, there is music of every style in these 4 walls.

random pics and swimming in a garbage can

Just kidding, no really, I was!

OK, we really are busy and I have got stuff to do so

I have to hurry.

Melody is like the cutest baby ever, no offense to anybody who has baby's. :) hee hee. She will laugh all day igf you keep her entertained. She is so sweet. She hardly ever cry's, she is always smiling, and her biggest trial is......Bubbie. I know he looks cute, but if you look on the inside, you would scream and run and not look back until you have run to new york. not kidding :. Wow that smiley face is wierd. Anyway, Melody is so patient and she hardly ever cries. Sweet kid. So I was sewing a handkerchief and she started talking. SOOO CUTE!!!!!!

More pics, sorry, some of them are blurry.

K, the pics are up there but I wanted to tell you something that is super wierd.

My mom says that when she was a kid, she would go swimming in garbage cans. So we were burning our sagebrush and we had an old clean garbage can full of water just in case the fire got out of hand. When the fire was over, my mom said that we would only get some ice cream if we went swimming in the garbage cans. Ick. So we did and..... I survived. Wierd, huh? I think so too.

As you can tell, Elsa and Caleb and Melody do not like swimming in a garbage can very much.

Mom said to be sure to tell you guys that it was a CLEAN garbage can.

The end of the saunderrs fairy tale real life saga part 1

Hey you guys! How is evwertything going? I was going to post about gitrls camp but I can't so here is a QUICK update
Everything is fine, thanks for checking

A MeiMei post

Okay. So I have well over 1000 pictures of MeiMei already. She is only four months old. I guess I'm going to have to do a dedicated MeiMei post weekly. Or whenever I get to it. But frequently. Here is the last week or so.

Bubby wanted me to take a picture of his and MeiMei's matching

finger nail polish. Their toenails match, too!




LOVE these cheeks!

These are the absolute CUTEST pajamas ever because the horizontal stripes just emphasize every delectable curve and bump. Don't you just want to squeeze her?

This doll stroller is a favorite for the big kids to push the babies (and two yr olds) around in. Sometimes the babies like it, sometimes they don't. The big kids seem to always like it!
