temple builders

 Our primary has been sending this cute little block set from house to house for each family to have a turn building their own temples.  It has the cute little angel Moroni that you can put at the top.

 We were able to keep the blocks for a week so the girls made a lot of great temples. 

 Adison is loving all the fresh raspberry's from the garden!  She will go out with us and just pick and eat them as fast as she can.  And like the picture if she knows we have them... she HAS to have them. 

 She was walking around saying, "cheese" 

Hospital Carnival

 Every year our cute little hospital does a little carnival for the town and for some reason I forget about it every year.... but this year I remembered and the girls had so much fun. 

 They loved being able to ride a horse.

 I laughed soooooo hard when Adison got on this ride.  She was so excited an happy and then when it started she went all stiff and made this face for a couple minutes.  She liked it but I think it just scared the helk out of her at first.....

 See by the end she was having a great time.  And she cried and threw a fit when we had to take her off of it.

 All the girls were able to go around the block in the cute little four wheeler train. 

 Liz and Rhett

 Brytlee and Mikey.  (I had to wait in line for about a hour to get them on this ride)  (and it was very very very hot)

They all had such a great time and I was glad we were able to make it this year. 

Rodeo Weekend

 Every year we have so much fun during the Rodeo weekend.  The girls LOVE going on the rides and going to the parades and hanging out with friends and family.  This year we didn't go to the fair for very long because the girls had already been to Lagoon three times and we have been playing non stop the whole summer.  But Adison LOVED all the rides and I wish we would have gone a little more just to see her go on everything. 

 Brytlee's friend Ella was able to go on the rides with her and they both had a lot of fun together.

 Adison would give me a face like she didn't know what to think the whole ride and then when it would stop she would not want to get off. 

 Love this picture.   It is like she is saying TAhDAAAAAh 

 I couldn't believe that Alexis would go on this ride.  It is a lot of going upside down and around and around.  I think it is fun, but she doesn't love going upside down.... but she loved it!

 Lizy and Dad went on the ring of Fire together and She was the only one brave enough this year.  (Brytlee would have gone but she wasn't tall enough)

Summer time

 I have hundreds of pictures that I need to catch up on.... I was able to have Mya and Ava come and stay with us while Sara had a little rest after having her fourth baby boy Tate. He is such a cute baby and it really sucks that they don't live close so I can hold him..... anyway.  It was so fun to have these cute little girls stay with us and get to know them better.  I loved how well all the girls played and they had so much fun together.  This is a picture of a proper tea party that they had down in the basement.  They dressed up in gowns and had very nice treats and all had to act very proper.  It was so cute.

 Elizabeth was mad at me because I had told Ava and Brytlee about the party and it was a surprise so she wouldn't get in the picture.....

 I was doing Alexis's hair and this is just how it turned out.... I thought it was cool so I took a picture of it.....

 best friends most of the time!

 Brytlee was talking to me when I noticed her tooth was way out of place and she looked just like a little hillbilly.  So we had to get a picture.  The tooth was so lose and wiggled so bad anytime she talked but she was scared to death that it was going to hurt so she wouldn't let us touch it.  It finally came out on it's own four day's latter. 

 The girls have been begging to get to have a camp out in a tent.  Ryan and I have not made the time to do it so this was the next best thing. 

 The girls loved sleeping together in the tent... in the house.... for a couple weeks.  I just took it down because I didn't want it to get broke but it was fun while it lasted.

 Adison thinks she is really big when she gets out of the tub now she has to hold the towel all by herself.  (just like her sisters)

 Yea... the tooth fell out!

Adison looks like she is almost as big as Liz....

girls camp

 I had the privilege to go to girls camp this year and was put in as the Camp directors assistant three weeks before camp and then one week before camp I was put in as the beehive adviser.  So it was all a little sudden but I am loving my calling.  I really love being in young womens!  I love the picture above.  The girls were snip hunting and the older girls told them that if you rub toothpaste on your face it attracts them to you.  You can see that some girls just did a little and some did A LOT.  It was fun and cute to watch the new girls. 

 This is our group before we left.  You can see a lot of them still look cute and clean. 

 We were from Italy so this is what we came up with for a introduction.  Pizza and mustaches. 

 I loved staying up late with the girls playing games and eating burnt marshmallows.  I ate 12 in one night and I got a huge sugar high and got into a little trouble..... way fun.

Oh yea, I rocked my mustache. 

more pictures

 I took Adison into the mall to do her one year photo and Brytlee to do her five year photo.  They did an alright job..... but Adison was not in a great mood and cried in most of them so she has tears in a few and boogers in a few..... but we got them done and that is what I really wanted. 

Brytlee is going into Kindergarten and is so excited.  She loved pre-school but was so ready to go to the real school.  She loves to meet new friends and play.  She is still a little LOUD when she plays but mostly I think she is just nervous and doesn't know know what else to do but scream.  She really is my little helper with the house and Adison so I am not sure what I am going to do without her home.
