Random catch up moments I missed

Watch out... this is a long one. Apparently I haven't been blogging a whole lot. This is a lot of our summer. Everything is out of order, but happened sometime in the last 6 months.


Ashlin loves to go running with me. I am very impressed with how far she can go- we go about 1.5 miles each time we go. We haven't been able to go because running this pregnancy isn't working for me. Each time I went, I was in too much pain. It is a little frustrating because I was able to run with both Ashlin and Rachel until I was over 8 months pregnant. But to be honest, I don't have much time this pregnancy anyway. Ashlin is excited to start running with me when I start to lose the baby weight.





Bike parade!! Ashlin was SO excited for this Primary activity. They got to decorate their bikes and go on a parade around our neighborhood. She had a blast. She told us afterwards that it felt like a race and not a parade.



I just love this picture of Rachel. It shows off her personality.




First Daddy-Daughter date with Rachel. She wanted to go get ice cream. I think they went to the mall afterwards to the "Sparkly store" aka the Disney Store.





We turned around to find this...


Last night in their old room:








City party.

The fire department of our city hosted a "Foam Day." The girls had a lot of fun. They had bounce houses, slides, food, and of coarse foam!! Brett ended up being the biggest kid there!!









We found a bunch of friends there from our street! They are all waiting for the ok to go into the foam.




This is the boy I want, but may never have!! He is so cute and sweet!!






Flying Foam!! I don't know if you can see, but Brett and Ashlin are right in the middle.





The extent Rachel would get into the foam..







Cousins come to play from Georgia!!

My sister Kindra and her family came to visit. We had a lot of fun. I didn't take very many pictures of the trip, but here are a few...

Luke eating a snack. It was nice to have a few more boys in the house.



Brooklyn and Ashlin climbing the rock wall in our backyard.





Hiking to Steward Falls... or First Falls. We got a little lost, but we found a waterfall which is all that matters. The kids were great hikers.... mine only complained 1/2 the time! Rachel kept BEGGING for me to hold her saying "Mommy please, I am too strong."











First day of Kindergarden!

Walking with Taylen







Ashlin and Katelyn



Ashlin lucked out because she has a lot of friends that all started kindergarden together!



Ashlin and her friend Johnny. He is her favorite friend who is a boy because he has the coolest backpack. I also overheard Ash telling him, "Johnny I think I could marry you one day."


Uncle Jerry's Birthday Party. Jerry came back to celebrate his birthday (well, more likely to visit a certain girl). We had a little party for him. We miss you Jerry, but at least we still have your girl.
