Give all the face painting credit to Cory--the girls were lovin' it up too! (For close-ups you can check out their blogs listed on the right) Notice how Lorin can't break character for the pic.

Pride and Prejudice Doll Party
Strolling in the garden, shopping at the General Store, and having tea on the patio...

My Aunt K'Lynn started a marvelous tradition many years ago--a Doll Party--designed to teach our daughters homemaking skills, etiquette, and often a glimpse of history . Months in advance we are sewing dresses and making crafts to sell at the General Store. The girls end up spending a full day as if they lived in a different time period and country. From getting hair done in the morning to learning how to cook scones for lunch to having a charming dance in the evening, our little women collapse exhausted at the end and wondering when we're going to do it again.

10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY in......
NEW YORK!!!
I can hardly believe we pulled it off, but thanks to Aunt Jenny's generosity watching our kids and Cory already scheduled to be in New York for training, we got to spend our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY in the Millenium Broadway Hotel at Time Square! Within 2 days we....
wait for it...
saw Wicked, the Statue of Liberty, and the whole city atop the Rockefeller Center, ate at a couple totally NY joints (the Nook--yummy!), walked 2 hours (and took a nap) in Central Park, took the Met Museum to its knees (and that's not easy--it's massive!!), went to church with the Manhattan 1st ward where, surprise, my cousin Kirsten and her husband were speaking in church (seriously a cooincidence) as well as some of my favorite Michigan peeps happened to be there on vaca also, saw a Mets Baseball game, and hung out a ton in Time Square.
Nothing like doing New York with your best friend! (ahhh, tender!)
Somehow Jenny survived this ragamuff team! Just one split eyebrow to glue together the morning after I got home :)

Where Did Summer Go?
It went to the Maynors and Ingmires at the Lake of the Ozarks;
to the Kofoed cousins in MO;
to the pool whenever we came back to TX;
to the Costley crowd in Utah for Lorin's baptism and Oquirrh temple open house and 4th of July celebration;
to the Kofoed clan in ID complete with 2 camping excursions, 3 family reunions, a doll party, staples in Ryans head and game playing til 4 a.m.;
and then back to Bear Lake with the Costleys!
and two 21 hour through-the-night drives to make it all possible.
Aunt Jenny and Baby Caleb were a summer hit!
Ahhh, all shiny and new! (full story on Lorin's blog)
A bunch of pyro's at play no doubt :)
Yes, all Kofoed grandgirls loving their "French Culinary Doll Party"!!!
Moments later found saying: "I think this pink kind of looks very pretty on me." (Ryan's blog has a few more details)
Still Idaho...poor chicken went into the watering trough a few times before we caught her.
Kelli, Traci, and I trying to stay young like our cute neices and nephews.
I can't believe I forgot the camera at Bear Lake. Let me just tell you, Grandma C took us on some wild boat rides!

Baby Plans on Hold
So we'll have to put the baby plans on hold. I debated whether or not to just delete the last post, but I received so many cute congratulations from everyone--I thought it was better to let you know and take your prayers instead :) I had a miscarriage. It was sad especially after seeing the heartbeat just a week ago, but we're doing well. We're very optimistic that we won't have to delay too long ;). Thanks again for all your love.
