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!!

Hot, hot summer

How to stay cool when it's 106 degrees. 

Our 4th

Melba parade: Awesome entertainment while we waited by Doug and Dylan's music and Katelyn's dancing. Massive amounts of candy taken by big kids running into the street and taking it from the small kids following the rules. Perfect cloud cover so it was enjoyed by all.

 Bike Parade around the neighborhood: Allie huffed and puffed her way with those little legs. That poor girl was SO red and hot by the end and thought it was the hardest day of her life.

 BBQ and fireworks with our neighbors

Sure do love this country and all that we have!

Summer Days

Pictures from our Summer Days:

New play-doh scissors take serious concentration.

This is how they make wishes when we go under tunnels. Haha!

How Doug woke up to Katelyn one morning at his parent's house :)

Princess Academy

Allie went to a Princess Academy at the end of June. It was darling.
The schedule was:
Monday: Bippity Boppity Boutique
Tuesday: Carnival
Wednesday: Royal Bake Shop
Thursday: Under the Sea Swim Party

A girl in our ward does this camp for 4-7 year olds and those little girls feel so fancy all week. Allie had a wonderful time. I didn't get many pictures though :(

Hair and makeup all done

Cute little cake maker!
