Life is messy sometimes, but we have fun!


Anna and Ryan Jensen stopped in Vicksburg. We participated in Cow Appreciation Day! It probably took me longer to make the cows than cook dinner, but we had fun!


Taft loves my water bottle and the ice inside of it!


circa 2011

A typical 4th in the Archibald household would not be complete without patriotic pancakes!!


Taft loves the keyboard! He likes to turn on the prerecorded songs and rock out!


We went to a balloon festival in Ridgeland/Jackson area! They had lots of balloons set up for a light show.


This is what the clan does while I am trying to use all my mental energy to shop!


Taft and his spork!


Future wedding announcement picture! Hahahahaha...the placement of her hand kills me! We went to Baton Rouge to see Jacob (not pictured) be sealed to the Stephens! It was a wonderfully fun experience! We are so grateful for their friendship and example!


Sophie can be the maid of honor...


Another temple trip took these three to the old Louisiana State Capital.


More pictures from Louisiana.



Taft at work with Dad while Mom does violin lessons. Rock on!


A pretty river boat docked along the side of the river in Vicksburg with pretty girls from the Archibald family!

A memorial day parade!


Kleenex anyone?


A bird's nest in Erik's shoe!


Taft driving the truck! He loved loved loved the truck...more than Erik or I ever did!

We went to Jacob and Katie's wedding and this is us, the pretty ladies!!


Visiting BYU on said visit to Utah for Jacob's wedding.


Our one and only trip to New Orleans with the LeMontes and Lauren!


Alyssa feeding Taft his antibiotics, which he LOVED! He's kind of a medicine addict.


My birthday and the cake Alyssa and Erik made for me!


Erik...and his cake - ON FIRE! Just how he likes things.


A house that burned down during bishopric meeting that perhaps could have been saved if Isaac had noticed it when he drove by on the way to the church and called 911...but it was arson so the owners were probably glad it was BURNED!


A birthday present from my mom that Alyssa wrapped!



Don't we all wear heals while we ride our scooters to church?


Erik biking somewhere...maybe Utah?
