New Years Resolution- BLOG!

we played beauty parlor one day and this was Emma's response- "Really Mom...like you know how to do this kind of stuff?"

Emma loves her little sis!

We love our girls in turquoise!

Mike- what more do you have to say!

Samuel Kay on his birthday- 10!

Samuel decided to take a picture of himself in the pantry...one of his favorite time out places!

Daniel having fun with a Halloween prop that we found at the Benson Grist Mill that is near our home.  Read the tomb stone and check Dan's theartics.

Lizzy loving her Grandma as she fits her blessing dress and head band.  That look is worth all the work says Grandma.

Look below for the out of order update on Lizzy May!

A day at the track for the Berry's

We had a rainy spring in Stansbury and one the high lights was the day that the Boys were in their school track meet.  They both ran really well and we loved going to watch them race.

This one is Sam with Ana and Emma.  It is hard to see because of the dark sky.  Sam came in first place in his grade!  Slow and Steady at the beginning and speed ahead at the end was the tactic he used.

 Dan did awesome except he decided to wear shoes that were about 2 sizes too big that day...funny boy!

It's great to be 8 Dan!

Daniel and his Dad right before the big event!

We were very proud parents the day that Daniel was baptized.  Daniel bore his testimony as the closing remarks to the meeting.  He talked of how he knew that he had made the right decision.  Daniel loves to be happy as he goes about doing what is right.

Sam was proud of Daniel too!  They are great brothers.

Grandpa Christensen gave a talk on the Holy Ghost at Daniel's baptism.

We were so lucky to have grandparents from both sides of the family there on Daniel's special day along with many other special friends and family.

3 generations of Berry boys!

Daniel was tired of taking pictures, but his Grandma and Grandpa Berry sure look nice.

There is the handsome fellow we all know and love- congratulations D-man!

Welcome Lizzy May!!!

Lizzy taking a much needed nap while the family is gone to church.

 Big sister Emma came to visit at the hospital.  (Grandma did her hair so cute for the grand entrance of her little sis!- gotta look your best!)

Emma and Sam helped bath little Lizzy.  The look on Lizzy's face tells how it went!

Ana and Daniel love to hold their new sister.

Ana took the picture of this new proud brother.

This is not the greatest picture but her eyes were open so...I tried!

I think the flash made her wince on this one.  I need some photography lessons, even Lizzy thinks so.

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.
