First Day of School

Abby was so excited to finally go to kindergarten! She loves her teacher, Mrs. Bonafacio. I think her first day was harder for me than her, I didn't feel sad untill we were walking home and I turned around and looked back at her running into class. My baby is a big girl now!

Trip to Utah

I love to stop in Salt Lake City and walk

around and see the temple.

I got to meet my baby brother's fiance Jessica,

they are getting married in December!

We also went to East Canyon Resevoir and had a great day

on Bill's new jet skis. It was soo nice to be out on the water!

Bill drove my Dad's boat and I got thrown off the tube a few

times. Aside from a "shark attack" I really enjoyed the lake.

This Is The Place!

I love baby cows!

We went to Heritage Village, just next to the monument and saw a living museum. It had lots of fun things for the kids to see and old houses and stores to walk through.

YEE HAW!!!!

We had a great time with the Gonthiers ! (Bryce's big sis and her family) It was so fun to get to celebrate Gerard's birthday together. We will have to meet in Utah again, we love you!

Ben's Room

Baby Ben

Ben is starting to smile and make such cute noises!

Princess Party

Princess Kate, Cheyenne, and Abby.

At their party Aunt Lisa had lots of fun games for the

princes and princesses to do. A true princess needs her crown.

They played pass the glass slipper, and lots of other games.

"Mommy, I'm ready to go to the ball!"

I had a lot of fun making this cake for their birthday party. I used ice cream cones that I frosted and then rolled in sprinkles for the towers. I stacked sugar cubes on the sides of the cake and used pink fondant to make the doors, windows and flowers. It took some time, but my girls just loved it.

I Love the USA

Happy 4th of July!

We are proud to be Americans.

I was born in the USA!

The Ahlstrom Five

Richard, Jon, Bill, Becky and me.

(Youngest to oldest and tallest to shortest, I know.)

Together again! It was so fun to get to hang out with my family.

Thanks for taking the time to come see us, we miss you already.

This picture is for you, Mom.
