That's what my little girl is made of. On Saturday, Kali was playing with a lizard all day and on Monday the kids caught a snake. She definitely has her girly side; she likes to get her nails painted, play with stuffed animals, dress up, dance and play girly things with her girlfriends. Then there is the side to her that likes to play with the boys; she gets muddy, she gets sweaty, she catches mice, lizards and snakes, runs in the fields and make forts with the boys. When we first moved here we were the only ones in our circle and as the houses filled in so did the boys. We finally got some girls in the circle but it didn't stop her from hangin' out with the boys. I'm glad she gets along with everyone and doesn't let gender keep her from being friends. When she gets to be a teenager, I hope these boys all look out for her like she's their own sister.
On Sunday, we got together with Ken (my brother) & Gina their kids and Steph (my sister) and Matt (her fiance). We had dinner and a birthday truffle for Gina and her daughter Emma. I am so glad we have some family here in Utah to hang out with. We sometimes go weeks without seeing each other and it's always fun to catch up. I found out last week that my younger sister, Camile and her little family will be moving here the end of the month. We are so excited to have them live close. Sophie has been the little one all this time when we have get togethers and when Camile moves here she'll have Carly (3) and Ellie (2) to hang out with.
This morning at 3 am Sophie woke up. She went right back to bed but then I couldn't. I finally got up and caught up on every one's blogs. If blogs post the time comments are left that will explain the 4 am messages. I finally went back to sleep at 5:15 and then Jimmy was nice enough to let me sleep in until 8. Hopefully, that won't happen again for awhile- I know it happens to my mom a lot and she says it gets worse the older she gets. I have so many things I think about doing that my brain won't slow down to let me fall back asleep. Does that ever happen to any of you?

That is the worst, when they get up for just a minute and then you don't back to sleep for hours. That happens to me all the time. So many things going on and you can't turn it off!! Your daughter is darling! Aimee Lifferth
It's fun to hear from you guys! Your blog is so cute and your family is adorable. They've sure grown up! I still remember babysitting them that once when they were all so little!
Thanks so much for letting Eric stay with you guys! I hope he is on his best behavior. I can't believe how grown up your kids are. Such a cute family!
I was alot like Kali when I was little! I can't believe you did that! Sometimes I stay up way too late looking at blogs...5am. Nate almost died when I told him. You just have to get caught up every once and a while.
