My little princesses are sick, but I can be grateful that they are happy still and not whining any more than usual.

I just came across this picture and thought it was...
sooo cute!

Finally Another Update

Weeeelllll..... It sure has been taking me a long time to update this blog. I have no excuses other than I just don't get around to it.

Stoyan's brother came to visit us for a little over a week. We had a good time. My children were spoiled with many gifts from him and friends and family in Bulgaria. Thank you all!!

We took him to meet my parents and for his first horse ride. I took care of the kids and my brother took Stoyan and Samuil up into the mountain to Big Springs. It seemed like they had a good time, but no one took any pictures so there isn't any real evidence that Samuil has ever ridden a horse.

The following day we went on a long drive to Monument Valley. We stopped a lot on the way there so the trip was broken up some and didn't feel too long. The ride back seemed a lot longer for some reason. It was so great to see Diana and Lewis and their girls. Victoria and Leah loved it too! I sure wish we lived closer to each other so our kids could play more often and so I could visit more often with them. I definitely loved being there. Thanks so much Diana and Lewis!

Okay, so here are some pictures of our trip.

Finally an update

Well, it sure has been a long time since I put anything on our blog. We've been doing pretty much the same old stuff everyday. Stoyan is going to summer school, and I'm at home taking care of the girls. Victoria is doing good, she's finally potty training, and has been pretty good,--well was doing good until just a few minutes ago, she had an accident-- I suspect it wasn't really an accident though. Leah has been doing a lot of standing and whenever she can she tries to get people to walk her by holding their fingers and then taking off. I think she wants to walk soon, but I'm not pushing it... I don't need to push more work upon myself, that will come naturally.
Here are some picts of some fun and ordinary things we've been doing.

Victoria and Sadie at the Family Reunion.

The lake was a lot of fun to play on/at.

Alonzo trying to give Victoria "loves" after pushing her, she wasn't so sure she wanted that kiss.

Diana and Lewis and their girls came to visit. Sadie and Victoria and Lara all got new clothes, and yes, we play in a swimming pool without water at our house.

Victoria and Mom made a butterfly mobile to hang in the girls' bedroom. See how Victoria's bed is finally painted? We also added a rail because she kept falling out of bed.

Leah's favorite thing to eat is toilet paper. Boy is it hard to keep that stuff away from her. I hope it isn't bad for her health and development because she sure knows how to find it. Sometimes if she sees me coming she stuffs her face as fast as she can before I can get it.

The Days of 47 Youth Parade was on July 18. Our stake had a float so between rushing around for other things, the girls and I took a quick walk and watched our friends in the Parade. It was lots of fun to see, and very very hot!

Laundry is never done at our house. Victoria is a good helper. She knows how to switch the loads and start a new one, but needs help reaching the buttons for the dryer.

And there you go! A somewhat of an update.
