Fruit by the Foot

We went back to our wonderful Fortuna ward for a missionary farewell and sat behind the Starrs.  We gave adorable Elsa some Fruit by the Foot and it was nothing but entertainment to watch her hastily eat it!!

Missionaries, Please Stand Up

We have been to several missionary farewells in our old Mount Olympus ward (which is bittersweet: so glad these young people are choosing to serve a mission but sad because it makes us miss our old ward!!)  On this particular day, they asked all those who had ever served a mission to come forward and stand on the stage.  It was so wonderful to see all those great people up there! (Kevin is on the far left in the white shirt,  on the left of Shane Starr who is holding his baby boy.)

Smiling Boy

Little Hendrix boy likes getting around by holding different things so he is able to walk.  I'm sure he will be walking soon.  I love that smile!!

Nap Amongst the Mess

Grace is the best sleeper/napper.  She just knows when she is tired, she should go to sleep, and that's what she does.  This time I found her with her beloved blankets asleep in the mess that we call the play room.  She just melts my heart!!!

Bird's Nest

We discovered another bird's nest with baby Robin's outside the girls bedroom window! So fun for them to see the baby birds!

Princess Pirate

There is always some sort of dress-up that goes on at our house with the kids on a daily basis...today Marley was a princess pirate!

Zoo Carousel

I think this was Josslyn's first time on a carousel.  She was a bit timid at first, but I think she liked it.

Nap Time at the Zoo

We went to the zoo with my mom, Jono and his daughter, Josslyn.  She took a nap in the stroller, and the day was quite warm.  She woke up so sweaty but so insanely adorable!!!

Sweet Niece

My brother decided to come up to my house from Provo-land to visit and brought my lovely little niece, Josslyn, with him.  I LOVE her so much!! She's very timid around me because she doesn't see me often enough, but I try to play with her when I can!  She reminds me so much of her dad, Jono!

Another Round

Grace will sometimes dress up in several different outfits through out the day.  She really likes this "go-go" style dress-up, although I'm not sure why.  But again, with the jeweled crown and sun glasses.  She's so adorable!

Prentend

I love when my kids play dress up, and being able to see what looks they come up with!  This time Grace donned sun glasses and a sparkly crown...she looks so fancy!

Diaper Baby

Hendrix looks so cute running around in his diaper with his adorable baby legs!

Little Girl Selfies

I love looking at my phone's photos after the girls have played with it because they always do these cute, silly picture of themselves!

Sweet Niece

Since Jono brought the adorable Josslyn up to visit, I thought she'd have a good ol' time in the play room.  Oh how sweet are those chubby cheeks?!

Eye Rub

These aren't the clearest pictures as I took them when it was still a bit dark.  I LOVE it when kids rub their eyes because they always seem to rub them in a wild, frantic manner!  Hendrix is such a cute little boy!!!

Pool Time

Trina (Kevin's brother, Ryan's wife) was kind enough to let my girls come over and swim in there pool.  They LOVE going to Trina's house.  Can't say I don't know why, a pool is so fun!!

Sleepy Time

I don't know why but whenever anyone falls asleep, especially somewhere other than a bed, it always makes me laugh!  For example, Kevin taking a snoozer on the couch while watching a movie.

To Big For the Swing

Marley kept begging to get in the little kid swing at the park...and this was the result...

Farmer's Market and Pony Rides

During the summer, Millcreek has these fun little farmer's markets that have delicious treats and wild pony rides.  One of these fillies was absolutely out of control and practically drug the handler all over the park.  Luckily, Marley and Grace a more calm horse!

New 'do

Kevin always asks me if he should get a new hairstyle and although this doesn't look necessarily "new" it is for him and I like it!

Swim Lessons

Marley and Grace took swim lessons again. Marley did well this time, but for some weird reason, Grace did horribly.  She cried the whole time.  I just made her finish the lesson because I want her to get used to the water.
