A Lizzy-Filled 4th of July Weekend

We were so excited to have Jonathan's sister Lizzy visit from Washington DC for the 4th of July Weekend!! Benjamin was able to meet his auntie Lizzy for the first time!

Look!! I can sit!! All by myself!!

Kind of... oops!

4th of July Family Photo:

Face painting... ;-)

We were able to get Amy to come watch fireworks with us!

Ok, I stole this idea from Michael and Lauren, and thought it was brilliant, I love fireworks, but was so worried about Benjamin's ears! As it was, he seemed to enjoy watching the bright fireworks for the first time!

We'll miss you Lizzy!!!

Elder Kenny Schreiner!!

At this time I am wishing the best of luck to my brother Kenny, who will be leaving on his mission to Birmingham, England tomorrow morning! We are so excited for the amazing opportunities ahead of you, you will be a great missionary! We love you!!

My "little" brother and I:

Three of my four brothers:

(David is still in Germany on his mission. He and Kenny miss each other by about 6 weeks. Bummer, huh?)

In all of these pictures my brothers are on tip toes trying to be the tallest, Michael was just smart enough to wear white shoes so that it was easier to tell. ;-) He he he...

The family:

And this is what they usually look like:

Newborn Pictures!!

Yeah, yeah, I know, he's FOUR month's old, I'm pathetic, I admit it. These pictures were taken when Benjamin was one week old! SO cute! His birth announcement is on top, designed by Jenny at Barrus Photography, see link to the right to connect to their blog. If you happen to be in Utah, they take FABULOUS photographs!! Ok, hope you enjoy these as much as I do! :-)

I'm rub-a-dub-dubbin! Playin in my tubbin!

And other fun picture that come to you once again, via the camera phone. ;-)

Aww, thanks Noah! I do still need help getting the pacifier in... The aim might not quite be there, but the thoughtfullness is!! ;-)

And your after shot: (Times this by 136 and you get tummy time!! It consists of pushing up really high with you hands, and then leaving things to your top-heavy head! Then mom rolls you back over...)
