Summer Fun in Utah

We went to visit Jaden at his house the first night we got here. He broke his leg the day before we got there and has a full leg cast. Poor guy. Just when all the cousins are coming. I am sure he will manage just fine. (This isn't his first broken leg)
Aunt Amy (Mom), Teagan, Tristan, and Lo
Kylee and Reagan. Kylee is so good to her. She helps take care of her as much as Reagan will allow. She still won't look at the camera.
Reagan loves her new cousin Lyra (Tim & Desi's baby). She thought she was a doll and wanted to feed her (taking the bottle in and out constantly) and make her close her eyes when she laid her down (with my help).
Most of the cousins together for Gramma's birthday! Of course I picked the one with her eyes closed. whoops!!

We did a few sparklers to get the festivities under way.

These are the 2 women behind the camera that are surprisingly in front of it for a rare moment.

Poor Reagan, this bump on her head is 5 days old, but just seems to be getting worse as the days go by and it starts to heal. She looked like she had a black eye.

Reagan would you please look at the camera so we can be done...

Thank You Rae-Rae.

Lauryn taking some pics of Mom & Dad



Where's Mom? Oh, there she is in the back.
The girls got a chance to get on the engine and see the fire down below and check out the inside of the engine #10.
Enjoying some of the scenery from the back open log caboose.
The sound of the horn was a bit loud for Reagan. Reagan enjoying the prize at the end of the train ride....Sugar! It was so funny watching her open it and eat it. It was like Christmas for her.

This was her happy dance that she did it!


We stopped on the side of the road to let the girls see the canyon. They were so worried that Jeff was going to drive off the edge of the road. Ashtyn was on the look out to let dad know if he was approaching the edge. I guess their view point of the road from the backside wasn't good.

Big Sundae Treat!

We went to Hanford where they have an ice cream shoppe that has been in business for a long time. It belongs to someone who owns a dairy, so the ice cream is homemade and fresh! It was fun for the girls. (We are trying to spend time with Dad since we (the girls) will be gone for 2 weeks.


Here we are...

The girls could barely hold still to take this picture. (I don't know why my flash didn't seem to work. I must have taken the picture to fast.)
We all want a cherry!!
Dad finishes off the 7 extra large scoops sundae.
Mom trying to keep Lo warm after the ice cream.
Ashie and Rae, can you believe how long Ash's hair has gotten. All she wants to do is cut it off. I'm not ready to do it yet. I'm trying to work up to that (for the last 4 months)!

Things Rae loves....

Spending time with "bamma",having a good time,

hanging out in my playhouse,
blowing bubbles,
jumping on the tramp (however I'm sitting right now)
and flipflops!
Just to give you a glimsp into my life, here's what I did this week:

colored permanent marker on a quilt "bamma" made,

poured my own applejuice, and spilled most of it on the table, chairs, & floors,

played in the toilet and emptied the water onto the floor,

squeezed a bottle of lotion onto the rug,

got my own bottled water from the outside fridge and left the door open,

pull fun things out of the kitchen trash,

and emptied a box of Kleenex in the bathroom.

I try to keep my mom on the move. She really doesn't have enough to do around here.

Summer Fun with Cousins

We had a great time at Aunt Jill's for a couple days swimming lots!! The girls love to swim, and they all do it pretty well. Ashtyn has come a long way this year with her swimming. Teagan can't seem to keep from plugging her nose. Lauryn is like a little mermaid. Her long flowing red hair and swims like a fish. Poor Reagan only really gets in when I get in, or she napping. The girls had lots of fun with the cousins. Thanks Aunt Jill for the swims.

Lauryn just had to have this swimsuit,

mostly because her cousin, Kylee, has the swimsuit.

But it does good cute.

Teagan looks cute in her suit too! Kylee

also has this swimsuit. They will be begging her

to wear the one that matches their suit.

Ashie looks cute in her swimsuit. She is growing so fast. Ashie, Lo, & Madison (cousin)

Teagie & Conner (the goofball) He makes everyone laugh.Aunt Jill and some of the girls. Ashie is not a fan of looking at the camera.

Our Mermaid Lauryn.

Ashie, Macie (Lo's friend), Lo, Teagie, Madison.

They jumped in like this a hundred times at least.
The Goofball! Ian
Group picture.
Wait, now it's a group picture. Ian

came up out out the water.

Check this out. This is Jake Jill's older son. The boys were

taking turns doing their jump tricks into the pool.
