Play Dough Making Time

The girls always love making "play dough" and it entertains them for half a day too!  A great inside activity when it's too hot to play outside... they all enjoy it... age 2 to 9.    It's super easy to make too,  I use the recipe at the end of the post from my aunt Sue.

A little creature, and a squished up little creature.

Very... very... serious.

A funny face.

A super long snake.

A dragon for Ella

Aubree created a village.

Father's Day 2011

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband and father of my children!  He's a good daddy... and it shows with how much his daughters adore him.  The girls were soooo excited to give him the gifts we made for him.

The blue T-shir is one he requests every year.  The black one is a little bonus.  Little did we know, but at that time I was actually pregnant with daughter number 5!

Girl's Camp 2011

I was the Girl's Camp Director for our ward this year.... lots of work, but fun too!  I missed Jeff and the girls.... Aubree had snuck a letter in my bag for me just before I left for the week.  It was a sweet thing to find while at camp.  I'll have to find it and put the contents on the blog... so sweet.  She also wrote a song (words and piano music) for me while I was away, entitled "Mother I Want You".

Zip-lining was one of the activities available at camp.  Wooo!  Hooo!

I went on the "third year" hike with 4 girls from our ward.  They struggled getting up those switchbacks to the top of the Rim.... but they did it!  Great job ladies!
