Help a Sister Out

The girls are still learning to take their own shoes off, but until then they take each other's shoes off!

What goes around comes around, I guess :) Love these sweet cousins.

Love My Girls

How did I even get this lucky???

Pioneer Day 2017

For Pioneer Day, we watched the Day of '47 Parade together and then headed to G&G Simons' home for some splash pad time. They were so generous to let us use their splash pad, and even suited up and played right there with the kids. Madelyn especially loved the water.

^^I want this picture of Kate with goggles forever ingrained in my memory.

Bean Reunion 2017

Aren't reunions the highlight of summer?? We're obsessed with everyone of these people and got to spend a weekend in Park City with the Beans this year. We were so happy when Richard & Emily moved to Utah and knew they'd be able to come, and can't wait to ALL be together for Christmas in December.
On Friday night, we continued the tradition of dinner at Baja Cantina. We put on a show for everyone else there with all of us wrestling the little ones. I think three drinks were spilled, one of which got all over Robbie's pants. Love these adventures together.

 After dinner, I went with mom and dad down to the pool so K&O could run around before bed.

^They're such little girls!!

We put all the kids to bed and stayed up way too late playing games and laughing. That adult time was priceless and for sure my favorite part of the weekend.

We checked out the next morning, walked Main Street, and headed home for naps. After everyone was rested, we met at the Harris' pool and then for dinner! Such a fun-filled weekend! I love the dynamic of our family and all the good these littles add to it!

 ^^The twins loved Madelyn's floatie, who would have thought?

 ^^Robbie took both girls down that slide and probably scarred them for life, they were troopers.

Kate's First Drawing

Proud mom moment right here! Kate drew her first real picture...a balloon! Love this cute little stinker! That face, though. I love her.

I'm Going There Someday

Living so close to the Draper temple is a dream. It's so beautiful and we seize every opportunity we can to go there, especially with our girls. We went after church a couple weeks ago and everything I love and hold dear is in these pictures. I'm eternally grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

^and for your viewing pleasure, a very much forced hugging picture. You're welcome.
