Halle's 1st day of Preschool!!

Halle started preschool this year. I can't believe she is BIG enough to be in "school." She LOVES it and wishes she could go every day. It has been nice to have a little one-on-one time with Haisley while she is gone.

Cabin:)

A couple weeks ago we went up to the family cabin for some R&R. The girls had so much fun riding the 4-weelers!! They even fell asleep on one of the rides (I guess Brad needs to drive more like a man instead of a pansy:)) Haha!!

Congrats!!

My cute little brother, Sean, graduated from BYU a couple weeks ago!!

Since Sean graduated in my Dad's college they were able to be in their gowns together, how cute!!

They have since moved to Minnesota where is his going to graduate school. We miss them terribly especially that chunky monkey, Carter-man!!

Better Late than Never!!

*****4th of July*****

We took the girlies to the Stadium of Fire. It was so fun. They had a blast, but were totally exhausted by the end.

On Sunday we had a bbq with the Hoen's. It's always fun to get together with everyone:)

Haisley has such a fun personality!! It makes it really hard to get mad at her when she is doing something wrong because she is so funny.

We had a firework show in the church parking lot next to Brad's mom's house. The kids had so much fun.

On Monday morning we went to the Hot Air Balloons. I just LOVE the 4th of July- so I was grateful we got to celebrate it for three days:)

After the hot air balloons we hit up the famous Magelby's Fresh breakfast.
Mmmmmmm, Good. Then we went to the parade. It is so fun to watch things through the eyes of your children. They just loved everything!!

After the parade we went swimming. We LOVE the pool and it's always more fun when Daddy gets to come with us:)

Cousins!!

This summer we have had the wonderful opportunity to have our cousins come to town. Halle and Haisley were really excited when they got to have their first sleepover with their cousins Will and Tate:)

Of course we had to hit up the local swimming pool with all the cousins. Here is Halle and Tate playin in the water.

Will-boy, being his usual self:)

Haisy loves her candy necklaces.

Brad's sister, Heather, drove all the way out from Georgia to spend some time with us.

Some of the fam @ the Payson pool. It was a lot of fun except for the rain storm we got caught in:( For all those that know me- I don't do rain!!

Cute cousins: Halle and Nyah playin at the pool.

Happy 4th Birthday Halle!!!

This cute little girl turned 4 on the 9th of June. We have just been so busy lately that I have neglected THE BLOG!! She got a new bike and is a little timid about riding it. Hopefully she will learn how to ride it and love it:)

We had a fun-filled day; we went to lunch with Daddy, swimming with Grandma Carrie and Lexi, Pirate Island with family for dinner and then a little Birthday Party that evening.

She loves swimming. She spends the majority of the time in the water; jumping off the side, swimming around with her ducky, and playing with her Barbies.

Halle is such a joy to have in our family!! I am so grateful that she came to us four years ago. That was one of the HAPPIEST days of my life!! I just can't believe where the time has gone. It seems like it was just yesterday.

Hal really wanted a Barbie cake, so I being the wonderful mom that I am attempted one:)
It actually didn't turn out that bad. The decorating was in need of some help however. Maybe next time (and I am sure there will be another Barbie cake in the future) I can do a better job.

CONGRATS!!!

I can't believe it- my little sister just GRADUATED from high school. It was just yesterday that I walked through the "O". How could it be time for her?!!

*While at the ceremony, Haisley took a face plant on the cement stairs and ended up with a bloody nose and fat lip. Keep in mind this was right before Lexi's name was called. I was a terrible mom and waited a couple minutes just so I could see my sister walk through the "O."
**I got to shake Elder Holland's hand while at the graduation. So cool:)
