Isobel Gets Baptized

Last Monday Isobel got to share a very special experience with her cousin Haley. They got baptized together. We are so proud of the choice Bel made. And happy to have had so many family members there.



Especially glad that Mike's Grandma Betty got to be there!

Klinglers Galore!

We had a great big group of family members(35 of us) gathered here in Sacramento for the first Rodney S. Klingler and Mary Ann Klingler family reunion. Siblings came from all over the States(Arizona, Colorado, and Florida) and endured many hurdles(gas prices, car troubles, handling 3 small children alone, etc.) to get here. I think we'd all agree it was worth it! "Good Times!"

The Originals:

All 18 grandchildren at the Jelly Belly Factory:
The whole ruckus crew (If there was any doubt that we are a mormon family, notice the accordion divider used as the back drop):
We missed you Bob, Jason & Harley!

Tooth Status

Just to emphasize the gap in ages in our family, I wanted to share the status on Ellie and Ian's teeth. Ellie has her first two bottom teeth and Ian just lost his bottom two teeth! (Ellie didn't want to show them for the picture. When I pulled her lip down, she just kept licking my finger)

Update on the wee-one

Like my friend warned me, I have stopped blogging since I had Ellie. I am going to go back a bit and update you on some things that have happened:

Ellie reaches for things in May:


She rolls over the end of May:


Finds her feet in June:
And like me she got her first 2 teeth at 4 months old! Eleanor is such a great baby. She is very pleasant. She is happy 99% of the time!
