Grant's Baptism

Our nephew Grant was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints this weekend. What a kid! We are grateful we live close enough to share in his special day! 

Jesse is walking and he is getting so big!

Pa and the horses :)

The Jist

The Good:
*We slept in. The girls didn't get up until after 8 which is really fabulous!
*We ate breakfast and then made peanut butter and wheat bread. I tried a genius idea from my neighbor. Bake the bread in tin cans and the bread is the right size and there's no crust! Brilliant I tell you. (It's a 48 fluid oz. can)

*We picked our first zucchini from the garden! :)

*Allie rounded up all the kids from the street and started playing with everyone.
*I went outside (still in my PJs and glasses at 10:00) to chat with the other moms. They were all still in their PJs too. So refreshing to know that none of us are trying to impress or one up each other. It was awesome.
*Talked to my friend Natalie on the phone. I miss her.
*I made dinner for the first time in weeks.
*I wasn't tired ALL day...ah welcome 2nd trimester!!
*Watched the kids swim tonight...Allie swam under water for the first time without freaking out and without help!! Such a proud moment.
*Played games tonight with our best friends/across the street neighbors outside.

 The Bad:
*Flies are all over my house. I tell my kids everytime they go outside to close the door and it still hasn't sunk in.
*Laundry piled up high!
*Katelyn woke up from her nap in quite the bad mood. Only wanted momma and cried about everything for about an hour.
*I bought a backpack for Allie, which means she's going to school...soon...and I don't want her to.

Wyoming/Utah Roundup!

On our way to Wyoming we get to see my best friend in all the land, Ashley and her family. Allie and Maddie were best buds from the get go, did makeovers and stayed up until 1:30!

We also get to drive through our favorite place ever...Jackson!!

Love those Tetons so much!

We arrived in Riverton and changed for Jermey and Jessica's wedding. I copied Lisa and bought that cute little dress for Allie! Cute girls.

The happy couple under the arbor my Uncle Mike made them

DOUG dancing in public :)

My cousin Haley and I. She's so purdy!

Allie girl "caught" or grabbed the bouquet and never let go of it!

My rockin' grandma danced the night away at 91. Love her!!

 We arrived in Park City next and GG Norma was there from Florida!

Katelyn loved sitting with her every chance she could!

Uncle Greg

Morning hike with Pa. This could become a great tradition :) The girls love it!

Ate at my favorite place: Cafe Terigo. That salad is life changing.

GG Norma bought the girls a bag of rocks...most treasured thing they have now!

ALPINE SLIDE! I used to work there. I am a pro. I couldn't go due to my preggo status. But Pa got to go which was super cool! The girls giggled and had a blast!

Whirlwind trip and so much driving, but saw so much of our family and will be treasured forever! I am one blessed lady!

Girl's Utah Trip

This one time Doug had a conference in San Diego and so the girls went to Utah to play with friends and family.

1st stop: Best friend Briana. Our girls are the same age and they had fun playing at the park, feeding the ducks, and running around after a long trip and we had fun catching up! Love her!

2nd stop: Park City. 

Hiked with Pa to an old silver mine.

"Be a bear!" Instantly this happened.

Show me your guns.

I did visit my high school friends Jeff and Justin and met their sweet wives but we didn't take any pictures! How dare me!! I seriously can't believe I didn't do that. It was great to catch up with them. It's been 10 years since I've seen those crazy kids!

3rd Stop: College friends, Annie and Valerie at the Splash Park. We haven't seen each other for about 6 years. It was so great to see them and their kids in the flesh and not just on Instagram :)

We left the splash park and went to get free slurpees. The girls were in heaven and are already talking about next year!

4th Stop: Temple Square. The girls were in awe, just like I am every time I go there.

5th Stop: Blue Lemon with my sista Lyndsay Lou and her kiddos and my mom. We had a wonderful visit with our kids going crazy in the restaurant and walked around City Creek. I love her so much!

Haha, look at Katelyn's face :)

We stayed with Dan and Lisa and had a blast with cousins. 

We had an awesome trip! The girls were so good, especially without taking naps and being carted all over the place!!
