We celebrated the 4th of July with cousins at the park ...
And had S & S come down for a rockin' weekend of guitar hero ...
We said goodbye to our best friends, who left us here in the desert and moved up to Idaho We miss you guys! Sequence just isn't the same without all the trash talk.) ...
We visited Utah for a family reunion ...
Lost two teeth ...
I went to girls' camp with our YW (and got rained out and evacuated our first day! We ended up going back up again and staying the rest of the week, but we dealt with major rain storms and hail for most of the trip)...
I owe a HUGE thank you to my mom and dad who came up for the whole week to watch the kids so The Man didn't have to take off work. My parents rock!Went to a cool birthday party at a local theme park ...
Saw Le Miserables in St. George with the YW and did baptisms at the St. George Temple (funny story about the second picture - while we were taking the tour of Brigham Young's summer home, they brought us out to show us his garden and yard full of fruit and nut trees. Right after moving from underneath the pecan tree, a HUGE branch cracked and broke off -- and fell RIGHT where all the girls had been standing just 10 seconds earlier! The girls couldn't resist posing for a cute picture.) ...
Got ready for DC's birthday party by making yummy cupcakes ...
Celebrated DC's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's ... (ah, memories)
More birtday parties (This one was so neat! It was an exotic animal themed party, where a lady came in and showcased tons of lizards, spiders, snakes, an iguana, a baby kangaroo, and tons more! The girls LOVED it! Me, not so much.) ...
And now summer has ended. Both girls have started soccer (yes, Miss Priss said she wanted to do it again -- go figure), and they are both in school. Miss Priss is LOVING 1st grade, and DC thinks preschool is the coolest.
As the days fly by, I realize that my little babies are growing up. Sometimes it's sad, sometimes it's great, but always I know that it is inevitable. And they are each getting cuter and cuter by the day ...

That baby kangaroo is so cute! What a fun birthday party. Sounds like you guys had a good summer. It goes way to fast, huh?
Busy, busy summer!!!
Hey, we are sequence lovers too. We'll have to hook up bc we are great smack talkers. ;)
Okay that snake totally grossed me out! I had a hard enough time at the Zoo in San Diego looking at them through a glass so I don't think I could have handled it out and about!
Wow! What a busy fun-packed summer! I love all the pictures. And you're right... your babies are just getting cuter and cuter!!
Wow, you were very busy this summer. Looks like fun (especially the snakes, they're cool). Your kids are getting so big and they are so cute! I want to come visit you soon.

Great entry (I always want to insert your name here).... um, Woman :). What a beautiful family! It is so cool to see your youngest walking in the living room that inspired Max to take his first voluntary steps. It looks like he is doing great.
We love you guys- thanks for giving us a glimpse into the happenings in your neck of the woods!
