Spring 2014

Audrey and her friends right after the spring choir concert.

Cousin Eleanor's 1st Birthday. Audrey did a great job on this cute little cake for her.

Our new addition to the back yard. I can barely keep the kids off of this tramp even when it's raining. They love it sooo much! Three months with no injuries and counting.

Joey's eighth grade Science project... Mouna Loa the Volcano. This is completely 100% Legos. Even the infrastructure inside. 

Many of you may already know, but through many tender mercies and prayerfully seeking the Lord's will, we "adopted" a young woman into our family this spring. Her name is Carissa, and she is wonderfully sweet! We are very happy to have her be a part of the McNames family. 

Shortly after getting Carissa moved in and settled I took her and Audrey on a special "Girls Trip" to Salt Lake City to see the live session of Women's Conference. I had this trip planned for a long time knowing that Audrey was turning 12. It was the perfect boding experience for us three girls. 

Temple Square was gorgeous.

While in Utah it worked out that Karli's finial production as a Senior at BYU would be the role of the incomparable Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. It would be an understatement to say that Pride and Prejudice is me and Audrey's favorite book. It was meant to be is all I can say!

I love you Grandma!
