Our summer adventures

We have had a fun summer too bad it is over so soon! A lot of things happened be prepared this might be a long blog....

Well Max had the longest hair on the top of his head he looked like a little monkey so I decided to give him a little haircut. I put him in his purple, yes purple, bumbo chair (it was oaks and they cost 40 dollars so he can deal with purple) and away I went. He didn't even care. He just sat there and was a big boy about it.

I love how Oaklee likes to take pictures! Every time she sees a camera she immediately says cheese and pulls the cutest little faces

My beautiful little sister Sally got married this summer so off we went to Salt Lake to her wedding. My parents were married in the Salt Lake Temple and so were Justin and I so Sally followed in our footsteps and got married in the most beautiful place I've ever been

Here is the car ride up..... one awake one asleep

Here are some pics of my kids waking up on Sally's wedding day....

I curled hair for hours...

It was amazing day! The spirit was so strong. Sitting in the sealing room watching my little sis be sealed for time and all eternity was such an amazing experience.

The other exciting thing that happened this summer was my beautiful little girl turned 2! She loves the Backyardigans so we decided to have a small little get together with family and have a barbecue with the cutest cake ever! It was so fun.

So I am the assistant cheer coach at PHS and this year I got to go to cheer camp. I had so much fun with the girls they are awesome! I loved it! Minus the sitting outside in the sun all day for 4 days. The girls all made sure I had a fun time. I'm looking forward to many years with them. They are all so beautiful!

We were at cheer camp Monday thru Thursday and came home Thursday night. The next morning I got up packed my kids bags, repacked mine, and headed back up to Salt Lake for a fun weekend at the zoo with my family before I had to return to work. Oaklee had so much fun. She loves animals, especially monkeys. We bought both our kids a hat, although Oaks wouldn't wear hers, and spent the day just showing Max and Oaklee the amazing animals. Max slept through most of it but woke up just in time to ride the carousel. He rode on a little penguin and Oaks rode a hippo. I love how the simple things like going to the zoo light up the faces of my kids. It was so much fun to just get away and take my kids somewhere just for them. For no reason at all but to see them smile. We stayed at the Little America and took the kids swimming. It was a blast. It was probably one of the funnest trips I've been on in a while. It really made the end of summer great!

Our summer although it was short was wonderful. Spending time with my kids was the best thing ever. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the wonderful job that I have that allows me to be with my kids as often as I am. I love my kids so much they bring so much joy to me. I never knew I could love someone so much until I met my husband and had my two beautiful kids. I love being a mom and look forward to all the many memories I get to make with my family!
