Go Dodgers Go!!! Bummer, another loss. I really feel that my presence is bad luck. Fortunately, the night was filled with a lot of neat experiences and we were surrounded by family and friends. John was honored as Veteran of the Game. He looked so handsome on the big screen and I was so proud of him!! It was a really neat opportunity for our family. The girls loved the attention, and thanks to Grandma Thompson they were all decked out in Dodger gear! We were able to meet President Uchtdorf! I'm sure the girls did not understand how special of a person that they were able to shake hands with, but I know one day they will. We were also able to meet Alex boye` who I've been able to see perform a few times over the last couple of years. It was so great seeing so many people that we know and love. What a fun night to remember!!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> I'm thinking to myself as I'm taking these pictures, "this can't possibly be my baby girl looking so grown up." Elle was completely embarrassed to be outside for this photo shoot regardless of the fact that she was thrilled to be going to a 50's dance with her main man!! Oh my!! You know your children are growing up when suddenly everything becomes embarrassing! Our Stake put on this dance for all the Activity Day Girls and their Dads. Dinner and dancing!! Who could ask for more. I must say that I'm a tad jealous! ♥ </span></div>

Not every little girl gets to go shooting with their grandparents. It was the girls first shooting lesson and I was shocked at how confident and brave the girls were. Janet bought the girls BB gun, targets, eye and ear protection so they could practice shooting. Emma wandered around with her ear protection eating fruit snacks and fishies, but her grandma made sure she had a few lessons before the day was out. It was a really fun day, minus the bathroom bucket. Not my cup of tea!! The Presidents Day shooting club included Bill, Janet, Jim, Joe, Jeff, Steve(Jackie's hubby) The Thompson fam, and our great friend Jason Jones.</div>

Don't I look so natural holding that gun. Oh my goodness! The anxiety I felt as I anticipated each shot was horrible. It kicked into my shoulder so hard I wanted to cry after every shot. With a big smile I kept looking back at John, "having a blast baby"! John wanted me to learn how to shoot his 12 gauge shotgun in case I ever needed to use it. What?? I'm trying to picture myself getting down the gun if I heard a noise. Funny but not so funny to think about. John also wanted me to try shooting at clay pigeons. The gun was so heavy but I just kept shooting and shooting until I could hardly hold the gun up a second longer. John and his brothers were cheering me on, so I gave it one last try!! I swear my eyes were closed, I aimed and the pigeon exploded. You can imagine my relief, and pride, because you know it was all skill. Ha Ha!! :)<br />

We had a really fun Valentines Day! The girls love every holiday, and the minute it's over they start preparing for the next. We made these cute Valentines for Paige's class and they were a hit! </div>

Of course we had our heart shaped pancakes, made the girls their heart shaped Peanut Butter and jelly. I snuck in a few heart shaped Dove chocolates that I know would be a welcome surprise in their lunch. Paige always reminds me that there is no candy allowed at school but did not hesitate to eat it. I couldn't find my camera and the kids were running late for school so no pics of our crazy morning.</div>

These are the girls Valentine mailbox's. They began feverishly filling these up with cards and love notes to each other the minute I got them out. The first two weeks of Februrary we are buried alive in glue, crayons, papers, markers, scissors, stickers that are strewn across the house. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Tonight Paige asked me if I will be with her in heaven! I took a deep breath, but before I could answer, Paige began to sing, Families Can Be Together Forever. "That's right Paige, we will be together forever." I told her that if I died first that I would be waiting for her in heaven. With hesitation, I then said that if she died before me, then again, before I could answer she said, "Then Papa would be with me." She seemed very content with that idea! She then asked if Papa has a workshop in heaven and if she would be able to work in it with him. I assured her that I believe he did have a workshop and is working very hard. That is by far one of the fondest memories my girls have of him. Working in his shop, sawing, sanding, and creating beautiful things, usually for Nana! She then asked if she could have a dog in heaven. My poor children! We got a puppy last spring and she turned out to be very, "special." Needless to say we didn't have her very long. Now they think they have to wait until they are in heaven to have one!! Oh my, we just might have to fix that before long. I told Paige that all the wonderful things that she wants she will have in heaven. She then skipped down the hall and with a twirl of her dress, shouted, "Heaven is going to be wonderful!!"</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Our hearts are so full of love for you! Emma turned 3 on September 25th. She was well aware that it was her special day!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> I lOVE 3!! The things she says! The way her little mouth moves as she tries to form her words. I love the way her tiny arms cling tightly around my neck and her legs curl up behind her when she gives me a hug. Her innocence. The way her fingers wrap awkwardly around a pencil as she draws a picture of me. It looks like an alien, and of course I tell her how beautiful I am and what a good artist she is. I love how she marches to the fridge and proudly hangs it there for all to see. I love when she counts to 10 and beams with delight when I tell her she is the smartest girl in the world. I love when she tells me how much she loves Jesus and wishes she could give him a hug. I love the way she can turn her frown upside down whenever Dad is around! I love that she really thought she was buying her baby stroller at Costco with her baggy full of binkies! (That really worked by the way) We are so blessed to have our Emma Jane. Happy Birthday my darling girl!! </span></td></tr>

These animals balloons are so cute because their little feet touch the floor and it looks like you are really giving them a walk! My Mom was able to be with us because she was here for Ellie's baptism. We went to Islands which is one of the girls favorite restaurants!! Ellie opened her presents. She is really into horses right now and she got a diary with a key!!!! Nana also got her some beautiful scriptures. Happy Birthday Ellie!

Ellie was prepared and knew that what she was doing was very important to her Heavenly Father. We were so lucky that my brother Brandon was able to baptize his son Josh the same day. I'm so sad we did not take more pictures. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Everyone special in Ellie's life was able to be there, except for one. I kept imagining what it would be like to have Alain</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">(Ellie's Papa) walk through the door. He always looked so handsome in his Sunday clothes and black cowboy boots. It was just the first of many special moments in my children's life that we will think of Alain. Ellie sang the song "Baptism," and our dear friend Lori played the guitar. I don't think I have ever seen anything sweeter in all my life. She was in her beautiful white dress with a white flower in her hair. (Where is the picture of her in that dress??) When I think of that moment, I feel blessed to have had such a beautiful confirmation that being a mother is the most precious gift I could have been given. </span></div>

What a fun tradition we are blessed to have each year! It's a blessing that at times I feel I am enduring, but for the sake of my sweet family I endure with a smile on my face. This year was record breaking as we stayed the entire week. We again created unforgettable memories good and bad, :) and enjoyed spending the short time together we had as a family.</div>

Aunt Lauren spent a great deal of time french braiding all the girls hair!! It was so fun to see all the girl cousions together.(-Claire- not sure where she was) It seems that we are only able to see the Larsens once a year.

After we lost Alain earlier this year I was devistated that I did not have more pictures with him. I told John how important it was for him to treasure the time he has with his parents. I'm so glad I got this picture of John with his Dad. I know he will be so greatful to have it one day.Za<br />

Janet truly amazes me sometimes. This is the last thing I would ever attempt while camping. Water had to be boiled, buckets filled, feet washed, and silly girls to be supervised. None the less, Janet had this wonderful idea and the girls went crazy for it!</div>

Can I just say how lucky we all are to have Lauren! We are so happy that Jeff brought her into our lives. Her energy amazes me as well. She sat and taught all the girls how to make friendship bracelets, braided their hair, and here you see her painting and decorating the girls nails. It's no wonder they all love and adore her!!</div>

Janet and Bill hired a photographer to take family pictures at Refugio this year. These are just a few shots of the girls with our camera. The professional pictures I have yet to see, but I know they will be gorgeous! All of us trying to shower in the lovely beach showers, do hair and makeup in the tent, and keep the kids from getting dirty for even an hour was quiet comical. With all said and done, I believe it was a success!! Not an easy one.</div>

<div align="center">Every summer we look forward to celebrating <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Mormon</span> Night with all our family and friends. We were able to sit with everyone from the Santa Clarita Stake and saw many wonderful people. The girls love to eat goodies and travel around bothering <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">everyone</span> as they try and watch the game. Lauren is always so patient and kind. The girls love hanging our with "cool" Aunt Lauren! I wish I would have taken pictures of so many more people. Well, there is always next year!

We had to butter up each girl with sunscreen, make sure we had plenty of drinks, blankets and chairs. We usually bring a squirt bottle to spray the kids faces because it is smoldering hot!! We were <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">sooooooo</span> lucky this year that Jamie and Aaron were able to save us all a fabulous spot in the coveted shade. It truly saved the day. The girls were excited to start the parade and already sick of getting their pictures taken.

They love their Nana and are so excited each year when we take the long road trip to Idaho. It was so different this year without our Papa. Nothing is the same although we try to go on just as before. It feels like he is right there with us loading the chairs in the car, making sure everything is packed in its proper place and that we didn't forget anything. It felt like he should be there with his straw hat on holding the girls hands. How will the girls ever know how much their Papa loved them??

Unless of course they were diving for the million pieces of salt water taffy that was thrown to the crowd! My girls love the horses the best. They think the Rodeo girls with the sparkly hats are just about the coolest ever!! It's so funny to realize how different our lifestyles are from many people from this area until we are actually in their midst. When we first were driving through Idaho, we are looking out the windows and the girls began saying, "look over there, do you see the cows!" "Hey, there are some more!" We even pulled over to let the girls have a look up close. We heard things like, "Wow, Oh, they are so cute." "Look a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">brown</span> one, a black one! "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">AAaaaaaaaa"</span>, they would scream! "Look at the baby one." With the amount of enthusiasm they would say it, you would have thought they saw a bear walking on the side of the road. We were in Idaho how long? Three weeks! The enthusiasm for the cows remained! My sister Jamie was laughing at us because she sees cows out her back withdow every day. John swims with dolphins when he surfs. I have a feeling that would be pretty foreign to some of these farmers!!:) You gotta love the U.S.A.

<span style="color:#660000;">Emma was so excited when she was able to wrap her little fingers firmly around a piece of candy. It wasn't easy with 50 kids all running for the same 5 pieces! Elle and Paige are always so sweet to Emma and make sure she is taken care of . These two pictures make my heart smile because it shows each of them getting excited for her that she got some candy. What a fun morning to start off a great 4th of July!!!

I can't help but feel proud, and get even a little choked up when I see all those beautiful flags waiving. It is a beautiful sight. We love the Rodeo!! It lets me get in touch with my inner cowgirl. Don't tell John, but when I was younger I always thought I would marry a cowboy. There is just something about those chaps and them wanting to conquer a savage beast trying to buck them off. And then risk the trampling of hooves. Very Sexy! :) We had nachos and french fries. Just an hour earlier we swore we would never eat again after an amazing BBQ at my Moms! Wow, I must say, that some of the people that show up for rodeos are some of the same you might see at Walmart past midnight. Scary!!

She obviously has some skills with her camera that I am lacking. She captured this incredible picture of my favorite event!! I have to admit that one of the main reasons I love going to Rodeos is because of my love for this first event called Mutton Bust'n. They just strap these little kids 3,4,5 onto these sheep and let them rock and roll!! They just have to see how long they can hold on. I have never laughed so hard. It's almost the tears coming out laughing!! What are these parents thinking! This little guys face says it all!:)

Bummer! But I must say, we had a very extravagant and successful firework show in the street when we got home. You gotta love Idaho. No restrictions or regulations. You just pick up your fireworks right there at Walmart and the rest is history. No cops stopping the fun in Rexburg! Give the kids some sparklers and who could ask for more. We were so exxcited when we heard Jason and Kate Jones with little Lucus of course were in Idaho. They were able to hang out with us on the 4th. It would not have been the same without them and we are truly lucky to have them as friends!

If they were eating anything that was sticky or messy, they knew where to go!! They played for hours on the swing set, running around making forts and houses for the ants and bugs. This particular day the slip n slide was in full swing. Dad and Uncle Aaron <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">got</span> creative and added an extra tarp to the end to make it extra long and slippery! :)

There were definantly no complaints from the kids, and I must admit that they were pretty scrumptious! After much deliberation, John and I decided that we are a little partial to the origional! We called this a great camp fire treat but we didn't know if you could go as far as calling it a smore!! Ha Ha! We love you Jamie and Aaron!

John was able to do many things to help my Mom around the house. It made me so proud to have a husband so willing to help. John is a very hard worker, despite what his sisters may say about his teenage years!! :) I know he did it because he loves her. I hope she can feel that. Mowing the lawn is easy, the problem is it always grows back!</div>

<div>We normally don't let the girls have sleepovers but we made a special exception. The girls had so much fun. I think they were more excited about the prospect of having a sleepover, then the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">actual</span> sleepover itself!! I wish I would have gotten a picture of them all sprawled out on the floor. This is them all cuddled up watching a movie before bed. It is really fun that Jamie lives in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rexburg</span> now and the girls were able to hang out with their cousins almost every day!

My three girls all cuddles up on my Moms bed. Many nights as curfew crept up, I would quietly come in the door, walk up the stairs and always seemed to find my way to my Mom and Alain's bed. I would sit on the edge and talk about my night . The good, the bad and the ugly!! I never felt like they wanted me to go away. I really felt like they cared about me and what I had to say. Whenever I feel sad or overwhelmed or just need my Mom, I wish I could just go sit on the edge of her bed and hold her hand. Instead I have to settle for a phone call. I feel so grateful for those <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">memories</span>. I will cherish them! I miss Alain tonight! :(

<div align="center"><span style="color:#000066;">Oh, how we appreciated our Daddy on this Fathers Day! John is very loved by his girls, and course by his #1 fan, me!!! We made John breakfast of course and the kiddos displayed all their cards and creations around his plate. They were thrilled to hear that he would be taking their gifts and putting them on his desk at work!</span></div>
<div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Whats missing in our world is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">definitely</span> a shortage of good fathers. There is something that a father can give to his children that can never be replaced by anything else. When Dad walks through the front door, there is an energy and excitement that has been lacking, that only Dad can bring! It's no wonder I am happy. I have a husband who loves being a husband and loves being a father. <span style="color:#003300;"></span></span></div>
