Emma welcomes all who want to follow her on a tour of the play house that Grandpa Christensen has been helping us build!

This is the most recent picture of the playhouse.  We are finishing the inside walls and the electrical is all hooked up now and we are working on ordering windows and a door for this lovely addition that gets the neighborhood kids together.

Sam likes to practice throwing a baseball at a board that is leaning against the fence...occasionally the ball doesn't hit the board.  Needless to say the board has found something new to lean against.

The following pictures are from the Benson Gristmill that is near our home.  My two wonderful friends have really nice cameras and took a ton of pictures of our kids one day...here are a few!

Sam is a rough and tough cowboy!

All the Berry clan together

Emma darling!

Sisters!

This is the look she gives me when she is thinking, "Are you serious?"

Ana likes the camera

Daniel wants to be a real cowboy when he grows up.

....or maybe not!

Do ya think my hat is too small? 

Fishing Trip with the Luke's to Joe's Valley!

Sam and I sang to our fish once we caught them.

There ya go...yet another entry that took me 3 hours because of the downloading, the time I lost the uploaded pictures I was just about ready to put on here, and the folder that I couldn't find from the last time I downloaded pictures from our camera.

Summer in a nut shell

Crazy 3 and Crazy 1....and there's more

Crazy 2 and just one more.....

Emma is the last and the life of the party.  She can get all the kids laughing like no one else can.  We'll be sitting at dinner and she make a funny face and the rest of the clan will bust a gut and not be able to eat any more.  She brings sunshine to our lives!

TRIP TO LUNDIN'S PLACE IN IDAHO

I'll bet you thought "the man from snowy river," was there too.  He wasn't...its just Mike with our sweet girl right along side.

The boys love the horses and they love any chance they get to ride them, especially when they get to take total control of the reigns.

See Ya- bring back a steer....Yah!

All together time is our favorite time!!!!!!!!!!

check out the hand of control in the middle, and I ask you "who runs the house?"

each has his or her own secret gang sign if you care to check it out

The Women of the House!  If we aren't happy ain't no body happy!

Ya gotta love this girl!  Her face says a million words.

Trip to Indiana taken in early summer.  It was a visit to see the Whitings and the Gilchrists with mom. 

Berry Family Reunion To The Beach In California!!!!

The sand castle contest was a high light of the week. Dan, Mike, Emma, and I made an octupus in the sand. It was awesome.

Mike and Emma chilling on the beach together. Emma loves her Daddy and her "swimmy", her name for her bathing suit.

Here is Samuel's castle building!

Here is our wonderful Ana.


Daniel's tunnel and debonaire smile!

This was Emma's first time at the beach and I think she feels good about it!

I hate blogging!- See look at how my pictures never turn out the way I want them to!

Just a bunch of pictures to make up for 10 months

This is my baby after the first day of church with Dad on the stand! I'm a great mom- huh!

"I'm your wife-not a witch!"

April 2010

D-man's birthday was this last month. He was so excited for all the wonderful presents he recieved from everyone. We had a wonderful just for him. He had been dreaming about going to Chuck-E-Cheese for about a month before and his dreams were finally realized on his birthday when his brother's baseball game got rained out and we were able to go to Pizza Hut (because Chucky doesn't make very tastey pizza), eat it in the car, and spend an hour playing games at the place where D's dreams all come true.

I was informed an hour before we were to depart for the Chucky party that I was to make a Chucky cake. I was very unprepared to make such a cake and it actually fell apart on the way to the resturaunt but the taste was lovely and he was happy I tried my best to make it look like and ugly mouse.






Mom was at our house a couple days before her birthday so we made her have a party with us. We made waffles and raspberries and the kids had a great time blowing up balloons and rubbing them in their hair. Gotta love staticky hair! Happy birthday mom! We are so glad you are born.
