SHOCKER!

 It's about time that I sit down a post a little something of what's been going on over here at the farm in the past couple of months. Since it's been forever!!  Truly I am just not use to the new blogger and it takes me longer to post so I don't do it as much.  But here goes...
   First of thanks to all those who voted and commented on wardrobe post.  Such a dilemma for me, I did go with outfit #1, and all your compliments were much appreciated.   Life really is great here.  We have our crazy moments, but this month has flown by and it's been a smooth one for the most part.  I still have to stop myself a few times a week and make sure it's true that I really have 3 kids.  I just can't totally believe it.  When I hear myself telling people who ask how many I have, I have to think twice like is that for real?  How did that happen so fast?  They are all great kids, and Thomas and Grace impress me with their excitement to see Emma after each nap.  Thomas especially is quite sweet playing with her in her bouncer.

We're running out of room in the tub, and since this bath, Thomas usually now showers and Grace and Emma bathe together.  They'll kill me one day for taking this picture and especially for posting it!

 

At the beginning of May Nolan's younger brother Jonathan married Alli Webb.  We went down and stayed a night in the hotel the night before.  It was a great day, and we spent the rest of the weekend at the river house for a mini family reunion.

Here is a picture of all 17 Harper grand kids, and Alli's little sister Madison.

We had so much fun with the Lau family--even though Grace doesn't look like it :-)  They stayed a few weeks, and it was great spending so much time together.  Our kids are just a month apart in age.

Emma loves sleeping on the boat.

 Thomas has been quite busy lately too.  He graduated from preschool, and he is so excited to be in all day Kindergarten.  Even though there will be 35 other kids with him and they are not separating the class!!  I definitely have my concerns.  He also did T-ball the month of June.  It took 3 nights of our week, but it was really great to get out an socialize.  He had so much fun and I was so impressed with how much time his coach took with each kid.  By the end of the season they all had made huge strides.

 I've kept pretty busy with traveling.  A couple weeks after Jonathan's wedding, Emma and I drove with my sister and her two kids to Montana for my cousins wedding.  Then the next week I had Girls Camp and Emma and I drove and hour to and from there each day for 3 days.  A week later we went to Tooele Utah for my nephews baptism, and a trip to Bear Lake, Boise, Arizona and Logan are coming up in the next month.  Emma is always along for the ride even if she cries for most of our drives.  She's great when we get there so it makes up for it.  She is laughing and smiling and trying to roll over.

 We went to a fun Fourth of July celebration yesterday in Malta.  I was totally impressed, the kids had a blast.  Grace got her face painted and love getting compliments all night on how beautiful it looked.  I love being an American and enjoy celebrating it.  I hope you all have a great Fourth!!
