A trip to the Sand dunes- Finally!!

When we first moved to Rexburg we went to the sanddunes twice a week to help keep every sane, trying to adjust to a small apartment. We were unable to go during the past two semesters, so our first weekend back we made it a priority for us. Brigham was out of control due to his excitement!! There could be no better place in the world for a little boy than a giant Sand pit!

My Irish twins

At least once a week I am asked if my two boys are twins! On Friday as we were waiting outside of Emmaline's school, another mom asked me if they were twins. I replied no. She then said, are they Irish twins- I have never heard that term before. So I just laughed and said, well, they are only 18 months apart. She said, isn't that what an Irish twin is? So, I went home and looked it up;The term “Irish twins” is used to describe two children born to the same mother within 12 months of each other or born in the same calendar year. so, we are close but not that close. Who knows, they may be the closest thing we get to twins!!

Emmaline Started School

We are a little behind getting these on, but better late then never.Here are a couple pictures of Emmalines First day of School! She has loved it!! Samuel walked her to class and then Samuel, Brigham, Bennett, Uncle Lawrence and I went to pick her up. The boys could not wait to see her! neither could we, actually.

Our First Blog. Blog?

Blog. Say that a few times and think about what a stupid word that is. Blog. Why don't they call it something else. That is half the reason I have resisted setting up a blog. It's a combination of blob and log or bog and lob.
Anyway, the creation of a Samuel and Amy Parry family blog has become more justifiable now that Amy's parents have moved to Mexico. Check out their new blog www.mexichans.blogspot.com. Their blog title is a play on the word mexican and their last name which is Channer. It sounds kinda like mexican only it's mexichan and it really is quite clever... quite clever indeed. Supposedly they like our children and miss seeing their angel faces. This blog (or blob on a log) is a venue for them to enjoy the visual pleasure that photographs of my children provide. This enjoyment is not limited to my mother and father inlaws however. We hope people will check in from time to time to see what is going on with the family (if time does not allow a personal email or phone call).
Another reason for the blog, a secondary reason (so far) is that I have been really impressed with Zach's use of a blog as his journal and his dedication to keeping it current. This blog might turn into that for us. For now it will be a compilation of random posts and pictures that we appreciate and hope that others will as well. This may not work at all. In other words, this is a massive experiment and may be abandoned at anytime. Enough of the blog introduction. Check back for more posts to come. I'm a blogger... I blog... I blog.
