More baptism pics

I can't believe my daughter is 8 years old! We are so proud of her decision to be baptized. We had a wonderful day on Saturday, July 5th, 2008. Brynne was baptized and confirmed by her daddy, Matt. She is such a good example to her sister, cousins, and friends, and we love her!

Book Reviews

So, I promised everyone that I would be more diligent on my posts, so here goes...

I recently read Atonement by Ian McEwan. I was interested in reading this because the movie looked so good, but I never watched it. WHAT A DEPRESSING BOOK! The time period was WWII in England, and the story revolved around a wealthy family. While the parts about nursing and the battle scenes were interesting, it was just such a downer! I would be interested to hear anyone else's thoughts on this book.

ALSO... our book club this month is reading two books: Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell and Eye Contact by Cammie McGovern. Feel free to read along with us and post your comments before July is over.

The kids are getting so big! Here's their individual shot.

My sister's family was here in Utah for Easter weekend. We got all eight grandchildren to sit still long enough for a picture! It was a great weekend, complete with an Easter-egg hunt in the back yard! We were sad to see the Meiers go home :-(

Spring Break!

This week is spring break at the University of Utah! I am relieved to have a break in studying AND some free evenings to spend with my family. We are looking forward to my sister and her family coming to visit on Wednesday from Portland, OR. The kids can't wait to play with their cousins!

The stake road show was a HUGE success! I will be posting pictures very soon, and I am very pleased in how it all turned out. My congratulations go out to all of those involved! I will also post the script and music - feel free to steal my ideas!!!

I don't know how my bishop talked me into writing and directing this whole thing - with my crazy schedule! I have school Mon. Tues. and Wed. evenings (after a full day of work) but we were able to squeeze in rehearsals somehow!

The kids also have a lot going on - I'll let them give you their details, but Hayden just finished his second season of hockey, Brynne is loving dance and ice skating lessons, and Lainee is having a ball in dance as well, and she loves preschool and her playdates with Danny Fish.

Meet the Hill Family!

Welcome to our family's blog! We are all going to post our own introductions (with a little help). To start off, though, here is a picture of the kids. Hayden is 9 (turning 10 tomorrow!), Brynne is 7, and Lainee just turned 4 last week.
