kj: recently became obsessed with ryan nyquist. (this video is one of kj’s favorites)
sela: her new fashion-designing medium: balloons. barbie’s outfit + headband were cut from one balloon, then she draws on them with markers to add a pattern.

a portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2013.

kiana: started rehearsals for her high school dance company this week – she could not be happier!
myla: there is a paved path that goes around our house and yard that is a perfect one-fifth of a mile. myla rode her bike around it fifty times to bike ten miles! (with her brother) she loves cruising on her electric scooter around it too – the kids time each other to see who can go around it the fastest!
If you want to get one of these electric scooters for your children…

kj: earning his keep.
sela: turns seven in seven weeks. my baby will be seven!!!

August 3, 2013

cross country rhodes trip one

1: little miss six likes to travel like her momma… she takes everything but the kitchen sink!
2: holy holy holy, upstate new york is beautiful! (visiting the LDS church history sites in palmyra, new york.)

cross country rhodes trip two

cross country rhodes trip three

3: the kids loved taking turns driving with danny in the u-haul truck.

4: something about all that water and all its power makes me feel uneasy… small. weak. it’s amazing, but i’m terrified of being near it. same feeling happens to me on big bridges and in the ocean.

cross country rhodes trip four
