A Visit up North

We went up North to the wedding of Tyler Marchant one of Adam's young men in Sparks. When I asked Milo to help pack this is what he brought me. :) We stayed at Nana and Papa's house and the kids were so excited about being able to sleep there. 

Papa was a good sport about playing the scavenger hunt game we brought. Gabe needed a pic of cereal so this is what we got. 

Reading a bedtime book with Papa. 

We got to do a session at The Mt Timp Temple in the morning. We can't remember the last time that we were able to go there so we were grateful for the opportunity to do it. We always call it our temple, cause it is. But we realized while we were there that St George really is "our temple" where we are the most comfortable. It was kinda a nice feeling knowing we have a temple that our kids will hopefully feel good about making their temple. 

The temple Payson was amazing and where the wedding was at. We were so glad we had a chance to go to see the Marchant family and to see the new temple. 

Our kids had so much fun playing with cousins. We had a good time being with family and meeting Jared Michele's boyfriend. 

On the way home we went to the Hellyar's house in Saratoga Springs to see their new house. This year is the year of our Reno friends. We love being able to see everyone and catch up some. 

July Summer Happenings

Face painting requests. Milo wanted a blue pirate doggy.

Ollie LOVES dressing up in church clothes. LOVES it. He struts around after he's dressed. 

We went and played when we would drop Gabe off at Chinese camp.

School shopping

Pirate hats at Chinese camps

Cutting their hair. It was both their first official haircuts. 

Ollie loves huts. Loves me to build them and each time we make it bigger and bigger. 

Leaving Chinese camp with Briana. 

The 24th of July parade. The primary is in charge of it, and I am glad it wasn't my assignment. We got there and still didn't have stuff ready. It was a hectic morning. 

The Primary Presidency  

Milo was sad he couldn't ride but he had fun getting candy with Daddy. 

Spontaneous water park visit. 

Another tooth gone and she's having less and less to chew with. 

They are proud of themselves when they can be "twiners" together

Swimming day with friends while Daddy was gone at Scout camp for a week. We tried to find fun things to do to keep busy. 

We stopped by to visit Kay and the kids colored some of Daddy's business cards for clients. 

We had some friends invite us over for a play date and dinner. Their dad is a musician and has a music room. My kids loved playing songs with him. 

Game night

We went to go see the Minion movie and took some pics of the outside pictures on the window. 

I was a little worried to go without Adam but the kids did awesome. Milo was over it the last twenty minutes but we survived. 

When Daddy got home my kids were all concerned that Daddy was growing a mustache and beard. 

Milo falling asleep in my lap. I enjoyed holding my baby sleeping in my arms since it never happens anymore. 

Playing the drums

My friend Danielle's mom volunteers at Tuacahn as an usher so she can get free tickets. She gave some to Danielle and we had a girls night with some friends and neighbors to see Sister Act. It was cute and a fun night.
