Summer time

We have had such a busy summer, and I can't believe that it is almost over already. It was the weirdest year with the weather so really it feels like it just started. I have been so bad about keeping up on all my pictures and what has been going on that I am just cramming them all together, and trying really hard to remember what we have been doing. A lot of our time this year has gone into fixing up our yard. We have our sprinklers all done, and we are just getting ready to plant the grass now. I cannot wait to not have mud and dirt all over the place.

I really love this picture of Ryan and Adison because they look like little twinners. She has such chubby cheeks in this picture that it is pressing her mouth down into a frown. But her facial expression is almost like, "Waz up?"

Love her chubby cheeks!!!! Ryan looks so HOT in this picture!!!!

This is something I miss so much. Every time she would fall asleep on me she would open her mouth like this. for some reason now that she is a little older she will not sleep on my shoulder anymore. She wants to be laid down to sleep so it makes it hard for church and other places to maker her happy when it is nap time.
While we were up in IF for Conner and Jex's baptism in June, we had a party at Annette's house and she was being fussy for everyone that was holding her. Summer was holding her at the time and Greg said something to her like, "what are you doing to that baby?" So she said, "lets see you do it." So as soon as she handed her to Greg she was completely happy and I thought it was very cute!
Alexis got this cute dress from her Aunt Sara for her birthday! She loves to wear it and she looks like such a little model in it!
We went to our friends house to ride horses! I love horses and wish that we could get some but Ryan has no interest in getting any. Elizabeth was in heaven and fell in love with this horse.

Summer was with us this week and she was also very excited to ride a horse. Her mom is so allergic to them so she has not been able to be around them at all.
Little baby doll!!!
Adison is such a good little girl. She really likes to just hang out in her swing, roll around on the floor, or just hang out on your lap.
She makes some of the cutest faces. I just love those beautiful big blue eyes.
I had to try this picture to show how little her toes and feet are. (I really should have cleaned my ring first)
I have my girls do a little dusting each day for some of their chores. The book shelves are all high up so they are hard to get to, so we have found that just letting them climb up on them is the easiest way to do the job.
All the girls wanted to have a photo shoot and take pictures while they were up there.


Sleeping beauty
Brytlee was trying really hard to take a beautiful picture!!! She is such a natural in front of the camera :)
Ryan playing with baby doll, or as he likes to call her, Adi fish. I am not sure where the name came from but he has all the girls calling her that. He is great at making up nicknames for everyone.
Ryan will lift up her arms and say "touchdown" she always gives us a great smile or a little laugh when we do that.
She is so cute I just want to squeeze her!
Alexis has a pair of fake glasses and they were putting them on Adison. Such a good little girl to let her sisters play dress up with her.

Ryan's fish

Ryan has become quite the little fisherman! He loves to go and has been waking up at the crack of dawn to go most days. The picture on the top is a great big Bass that he caught with me and the girls out in his new little boat that he caught. He caught this bad boy in the fist 10 minutes that we were at the lake, and then after he caught it the girls all decided to jump in the water and swim and make a lot of noise so we didn't catch anything after that.
This was the first bass that he caught this year, and it was so yummy!!! I love fish so I am fine with him going as long as he brings me home a "delicious bass" I also really enjoy going fishing and I have only been able to go with him once. It is a little hard to get out when you have a little baby that can't go out on a lake.

Hank Ryan Hamblin's birthday party

Hank knows how to throw a party! We had such a great time at his birthday, he loves the show "wipe out" so they had an obstacle course that was made after the show.

this was the end result after they were all done going through the course.
Lizzy with Shaving cream all over
My messy little girl is the cleanest one of all.... weird
Adison was sooo ready for her nap. I just had to get a picture of her crying because it is so cute!
So this is where they would start, and the water was so cold!
then they went down the slip'n slide while being attacked by Haley with the shaving cream
Brytlee's turn

some how these two pictures got out of order

Elizabeth was hit right in the face with a water balloon that also had shaving cream in it. I felt so bad for her.... but she just cried for a minute and then went back to playing.
Ryan, my biggest kid had to go through it himself!
So after they went down the slip'n slide they had to run all around the yard, and there were other people throughout the whole yard pushing them around, and throwing water balloons at them. I can't remember what you had to do at each stop, but it was such a fun idea!


Kate and Brytlee sundae's

Adison really enjoying the swing.... can't you tell? This was her first time in a swing and she did like it, but every time you gave her a push she would make a funny face.
Such a sweetheart!!!!

Chase's Wedding

Chase and Alex were married this past month in the Logan Temple and while we were waiting for them to come out of the temple the girls took these cute pictures.
The sun was so bright that the girls had a hard time keeping their eyes open without watering. The flowers were so beautiful and the weather was perfect. A great day for a wedding.




Elizabeth and Mickey

Cute little girls.

They looked so great, and I loved her dress! Her hair was fun, she had put extensions in for the day and the girls could not believe that her hair had just grown so much over night.
All the grandchildren but Adison... she was taking a nap
Ryan was Chases best man so he wore this tux and looked soooooo smoke'n hot!!! Nothing like a handsome man in a tux!!!


So happy for Chase, and he found a great girl to be with. We all think Alex is such a sweetheart, and are so excited for them.
