Larissa did Ella's Hair!
During the summer (when I was still watching kids) One of the older girls Larissa decided to help me out by dressing Ella for and doing her hair. It was so sweet! My Sister!
This summer we stayed with my sister and her family for a few days! Our kids loved playing with each other. We went to a Temple open house, we went for evening walks so the kids could ride their bikes, we even took the kids to the swimming pool. It was a great visit!
Summer Dance Session!
I wanted to give Mara and Ella something to look forward to this summer so I enrolled them in a summer dance session!
Ezra's Birthday!
This is sooo overdue! I said I wasn't going to try to catch up with all the stuff we did this summer but I thought I'd get some of it out of the way! Here are some fun pictures from Ezra's 6th Birthday! (In June) He started the day off with a stack of pancakes and strawberries, then his friends dropped off a present, he went to karate and then we took him to Dinner!

Please help our dear friends Ryan and Margie by passing this message along (post on your blogs, email, etc...) to any federal employees you know. A link to Margie's blog is on my sidebar.
Thanks,
Agnes and Tim
***FEDERAL EMPLOYEES- PLEASE DONATE LEAVE TO RYAN HESS***
My name is Margie Hess, my husband Ryan was diagnosed on June 12, 2009 with a rare and aggressive form of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Since this is an aggressive form of T-Cell Lymphoma, his doctor has put him on an aggressive chemo regimen that will result in him being unable to work for the next 4-6 months and possibly longer. At the time of diagnosis he was finishing up his 1st year as a Podiatry Resident at the V.A. in Tucson, AZ. Ryan is a devoted husband and father of two children, Hallie (5) and Max (2). By the end of this month (June 2009), Ryan will use up the last of his vacation and sick leave and will have to go on unpaid leave. Ryan is the sole provider for our family; I stay at home with both the kids. Without him working we have no income. I need to stay home to help care for him, so I cannot get a job right now, either. As difficult as it is for our family to have to ask for help, we have realized that we must do so at this time. We were told that any federal employee (ie: military, Border Patrol, DEA, FB I, Dept of Justice, EPA etc. EXCEPT Post Office employees) can donate vacation time to be used as sick leave for another Federal employee. We would be so thankful for any number of extra paid days we can accumulate. Thank you so much.

Last week the Ezra and Mara went to the dentist for their 6 month check up and to get their teeth cleaned. They were really good and no one had cavities! Below are some pictures!
Ella went to the dentist about a month ago and it was a bit scary for her so she held on to me the almost the whole time we were at the dentist.
