Swim lessons, Sand Hollow, 24th of July Parade

 Michael and Bryce both took swim lessons this year.  Michael was excited that he mastered his dive and Bryce loved going off of the low and high dive.  We also love going to Sand Hollow to play on the beach and swim in the water.  The kids also participated in the 24th of July Parade.  Our ward rode bikes and scooters and our kids thought they were pretty cool.  Life is good!

Hailey baby turns 1

 I can't believe my baby just turned one!  She is such a joy to us and we love her dearly.  She is so good natured and sweet.  Loves to be around her sibling and loves to be snuggled and held.  She loves baby dolls and stuffed animals.  She also loves to be outside and is enjoying her new found freedom, now that she can walk.  She is all smiles and loves to swim in the water.  Her laugh is contagious and we all fight over who gets to carry her around.  We celebrated her birthday by swimming in our backyard pool and eating her favorite dinner spaghetti and then presents and cake.  We love you so much baby girl and are grateful everyday to have you in our lives.  Happy Birthday!

My baby is four

 My sweet baby girl is four!  She is so beautiful.  Full of sweetness and sass.  She loves animals and baby dolls.  Loves to play with barbies, draw, paint, and jump on the trampoline.  She is very bright for her age and talks like a teenager. She is very affectionate and loves to be snuggled to sleep and sung to.  She likes to be read to and wants to be big like her brothers.  Her favorite color is pink.  Favorite food is mac and cheese.  Favorite movie is Tinkerbell.  We love her more than we can express!  For her birthday we went swimming at the outdoor pool, then came home for dinner, cake, and presents, where she got her own barbie doll house.  Happy birthday baby!

Exploring St. George..River walk and hike around the lake

 We love to be outside....it's our happy place.  The kids are amazing hikers and love to explore.  We have so much fun together and little Hailey had a blast playing in the sand and mud.  When it becomes too hot during the summer, you have to play in the water or head to the mountains!
