Haircuts, Smoochies and Hanging out

First of all...HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all the great Dads, Grandpas, Uncles, and Brothers in our lives. Thank you for keeping balance in the universe with your logical ways of thinking, your fix-all mentalities, your funny quirks that make you a man, and the tender ways you love and provide for all those in your lives. We especially honor the dad of this family. We love you Bryan and hope your day is great!
Bryan and baby Stats, getting so big! The baby, that is! Bryan looks handsome too, but it had been a long workday! They are hoping to inflate the big dome next week, which means we won't see much of him. For a little added drama, they failed an inspection, but they suspect the local inspector is buddies with a competing concrete company that they didn't use. He has caused a lot of trouble here for our guys. It sounds like he is under investigation, so happy days with new inspectors. They are working some nice long hours here, hopefully things will even out a little so we see him more. The good news is that he has a killer farmer tan.


Olivia the Ballerina! Ash took Olivia out for a photo shoot and this is the result. Love this action shot of her doing her best pirouette, she even got some air time! Nice one Livi!

Ethan's Hair was looking....well, funky, it's like those old pants that stand themselves up in the corner....so, we hired this crazy old lady in glasses to cut his hair. I'm not sure if she knew what she was doing....here's the result though.


Cute eh? Notice, all photos of Ethan involve him holding something with potential for disaster, like sticks on fire or hanging upside down, etc.




















Our Little Statton just turned 4 months old! Here are some cute picts of him working Ashlee's face over! Don't you love his expression at the end..."Huh?"
Everyone was laughing as he gnawed away, look at the grip he has on her juglar vein....









Olivia and Ulyssa our dress-up girls!


Ulyssa checks herself out in the mirror, wearing her new birthday tutu (looks like SOMEBODY forgot to clean the mirror).




"Mmmmmm-mmmm, do I look good!"




A birthday pout, everyone is entitled to at least ONE on their birthday, this was Ulyssa's.
Isabella and Ashlee are awesome big sisters, always dressing up and ooohing and aaahing over their little sisters. Check out the face painting job Ash did on Olivia....remember the girl from Indianna Jones with her eyelids painted?


Last weekend, we had a big bbq here with all the American workers and their families, and 2 sets of missionaries. (Picts later.) After it was over, Troy Potter (Dome superintendant) and his wife Lacey, took our 4 girls on a impromptu shopping spree and spoiled them rotten! Totally unexpected and way too generous, but the girls came home with huge ice cream covered smiles and some fun toys. Here's Izzy sporting her IPOD shuffle, and a pict Ashlee took with the digital camera they got her! Olivia and Ulyssa got dolls that they take everywhere. It was a very sweet surprise, thanks Troy and Lacey!


Love to all of you. Hope your summers are cool and comfortable, can't wait to hear from you!
