December

The girls went to a fun birthday party for their friend Ella. She turned two and had a little winter party. One of the games was to make someone into a snowman. Katelyn proudly volunteered and I laughed because there was no way she would hold still that long. Well, now I know what to do...wrap her up in toilet paper. She didn't move a muscle and was very serious about this!! So funny!

August So Far...

August has been crazy. 

Ready for a whole lot of pictures!?

 First, Doug's Grandma Green came for a visit! It was so fun to see her and she looks as good as ever. The girls of course loved her right away!!

Doug had a birthday...31 to be exact.

 I took the girls to Park City to see my family and my grandma from Florida. My Grandma is so active and looks amazing. It was so great to see her. I was able to go to the temple with Lisa, we went to parks, the Alpine Slide, played games, and just enjoyed the company!

Katelyn ran back and forth on this bridge for a good 40 minutes (don't you think guys!?). It was too funny. The other girls loved it too!

I went to Girl's Camp with the young women from my ward.

We celebrated our 8th anniversary! We stayed in Boise while Doug's parents had a sleepover with the girls. They had fun, we had fun. Win, win!

 

And August isn't even over yet....

Water Table

She was into it!! Loves it :)
