Let's take a drive!

We finally traded in our tiny, little white car for a Yukon XL. It's huge and gets horrible gas mileage, but we love it! We took a trip to Prescott and stayed with Tom and Dawn on their trap bed. (I'll have to do a post on that, its very funny.) Anyway, while we were there we went and talked to Melanie's car friend and he got a great deal for us. I was so glad to get rid of that car, it was cute, but it only had 55,000 miles on it and it was already starting to fall apart. The radio broke (the worst part if you ask me), the engine light wouldn't turn off, the airbag light was on and the fuel door wouldn't stay closed. The Yukon has lots and lots of room and has Bose speakers, yea! Now we have to take a road trip somewhere.....

Girl Fun!

The girls had fun after their cousin Sarah's baptism. The video's kinda blurry because I took it with my cell phone, but its still cute.

We love puppies! - Well, most of us.

Sesi had a litter of four puppies on July 22. Three boys and one girl. The kids have a lot of fun watching them grow, and now that they are a little older (three weeks) they are more fun to play with. David acts grumpy about them sometimes, but he is a softy at heart and likes them more than he lets on.






This is the biggest and laziest puppy. He sleeps the most and will sleep wherever you put him down. We were laughing at him in this picture because he was half-way off the pillow.

Even Fletch, our cat, seems interested.

I love this quote!

I found this quote on a friends blog-Thanks Jodi!- and I love it. I have read it before, but it's always nice to be reminded of great thoughts from great people.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes,my hair expertly coiffed,and with long,perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Shenks lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."-Marjorie Hinckley

Memories...

Ok, I thought this one was cute. If you don't have any memories, give me your first impression of me.

1. Leave one memory that you and I had together, as a comment on my blog. Anything goes :)

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll check to see if you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Emma's 8th Birthday!

Emma turned 8 on June 24, but we saved the big party for the 28th, the day we baptized her. David and I felt bitter-sweet about it because she's our last one to get baptized.

Emma and her Daddy.

Happy Birthday to You!

Grandma and Grandpa Coach(Giovando) and Sarah.

Fletch

Curtis finally got his wish and we got a new kitten. We got him from a friend from my work. We named him Fletch, after David's favorite movies. We really like him, he is fun to play with and he like to take naps in your lap. He's not too sure about the dogs and vice-verse, but that will work out as soon as the dogs realize cats are in charge.
