my confused son

we were watching the view the other morning with "ross the intern" as a co-host. mikey was watching more intently than i thought.

he finally asked me, pointing to ross, "is that a boy o a guhl (i love the way he says girl)?"

i giggled and said, "oh he's a boy."

and mikey replied, "he is acting weelly guhly. why is he acting guhly?"

i could only laugh. mikey is apparently very observant.

take me out the ball game...

the boys (charles--shawn's pop--shawn and mikey) and i went to the rockies game...the girls went shopping (i love a baseball game)








this was my view...isn't it great?

fa-ra-ra-ra-ra!

grandma burton just got back from china...the girls with anna are emily and katie, shawn's brother's girls. they all came to visit last week.

doesn't mikey look like he would fit right in over in china?

she got her ears pierced...

total worry before








total pride after


i know you probably can't see her tiny red ears with cute little studs in them, but they are there (click on pic for a close-up, maybe?). she can't stop saying "i can't believe my ears are pierced." all day, everyday since tuesday. she cracks me up.

home sweet home

here is our new home. and i love it. you are all welcome to come and visit anytime...there is plenty of room.

new look? yes? no?

so, i decided to try a new look...it was suppose to be easier than i made it be. i am not a computer genius but it worked. what do you think? i went to shappytulips and i think it worked mostly. hope you enjoy! really, i can't believe i did it. i hope you like it...i hope i like it.

have a great day!

i am still here...i think

as we were going to costco the other day, we passed the "eagle baptist church". anna wondered if that was where she would go to get baptized. she's a thinker.

we also went to the rodeo saturday night. anna wondered why everyone was drinking beer. honey, we ain't in utah anymore.

i am still trying to get unpacked and settled. plus i am trying to keep the kids busy. we signed up for swimming lessons, got library cards, and well, i think that's about it. pretty boring.
