No More Wallowing


The cousin clan from Magna, Utah. Ellie, 7, Mark, Lilly, 2, Ben, 5, Sarah holding Maddie, 5 months, and friend Sarah. Man it was fun to have these guys here for Pre-Paid Legal Conference and family vacation last week!


Ellie filled us in on all kinds of exciting information. Starting at 6am. Every day. And she did not stop till bedtime! She has an amazing mind.


Aubrey enjoyed having someone around who's smaller than she is. She was SO interested in little Maddie.


Three of the "Five Princesses" (five great-granddaughters of Jeff's mom born in 2006) Isabel, Sydney, and Lilly. Jessica and Rachel are missing. We still want a picture of the five of them together...Preferably looking not quite this scruffy...They had a great time together! Manda, Ivan, Isabel, and Asher stayed with Unky Brian and Auntie Susan.


We created cute animals from new and old interesting socks. Manda made a blue-striped weiner dog, Sarah made a bunny, a bear, and a striped bird. Maddie made a lamb and Little Ally made a cat. Allyson made an elephant and later Maddie made a rainbow-striped zebra. I tied knots and threaded needles, watched, and was impressed...

Maddie's little lambie-chops, complete with argyle sweater!

We also swam in Grandma D.'s pool twice, had a barbeque, learned embroidery (and Sarah designed her own sampler that I am totally copying!) The cousins watched the dancing fountains at the Bellagio and ate at In 'n Out Burger (always a highlight!) The conference was great as usual, and Mark also made some money washing windows in Mormonville. It sure was fun to have a full house! It's very quiet here now...

Maddie's lamb sure is cute. I guess I need to finish my elephant.

That one of Aubrey and Maddie is SO cute! And those princesses do look a bit scruffy... I wish I was there!

That lamb is so cute! I'm always so impressed with the Sargeant clan's creativity!!!

Cute, cute! I taught Elle in primary on Sunday, I am sure she kept you all in line and told you lots of new info you didn't know before! She was fun.

I love the sweet pic of Aubrey and Maddie, too! So cute! And those 'scruffy' princesses were hilarious...the expressions on their faces were priceless! We love and miss you!

Is Mormonville a real name or a nickname?

Linda said...

Andrea-The upscale subdivision in our town that is almost all Church members is really called "Los Vecinos" (The Neighbors.) It has many nicknames in town - Mormon Acres, The Garment District, Mormon Town, and of course, Mormonville. We don't live there. We live in the "historic district" (translation-OLD part of town!) I love nicknames...
