Families are Forever

This weekend we were able to go to the Bountiful temple and see our friends be sealed to their new little boy. It was so fun to spend it with Steve and Marly and their family and be in the temple. I'm so grateful for the sealing power and that families can be together forever- I sure love my family. Thanks Steve and Marly for inviting us!

Me with Tori and Julia- Julia was getting so tired of pictures and not wanting to smile any more but then when she was getting pictures with me she had the biggest grin:)

Not the best picture but they have the cutest family.

While we we're outside taking pictures we saw my aunt and uncle! It was such an odd coincidence since we all were just visiting that we had to take a picture.

4th of July!

We had such a good 4th of July- it's one of my favorite holidays. We went to the Lewiston breakfast and parade with Steve's family and hung out most of the day. Somehow we ended up with 5 boxes of sparklers this year so Steve and I lit them that night after Makenna was in bed instead of going and watching the fireworks- a sleeping baby was much more enjoyable than trying to keep her up and happy, my how our priorities have changed! The sparklers were fun but 5 boxes was a little much. I think for the 24 we decided we'd go buy some more exciting fireworks.

Being so patient in line for breakfast but...

She just couldn't wait any longer for that pancake!

What a good day:)

Random Pictures

I've been in a blogging slump- not much excitment has been going on around here which is OK but sometimes I feel like my life is a little like the movie Groundhog's Day. I was getting tired of seeing my boring post of a month ago while I read all of your exciting blogs so I thought I'd post a few pictures of the princess here at home. July is looking a little more eventful so hopefully they'll be more posts to come!

Yea for Father's Day!

Thank goodness for food:)

The Simple Joys in Life

The excitement at our house lately has been Makenna's new toy. She loves to be up and around so we thought we'd buy her a walker. Well she's not quite tall enough to push herself around, so thank heavens for dads. Steve pushes her around- making sound effects and everything and she loves it! She squeels and kicks her legs. It is so fun to watch and Steve gets a good workout too.

Kiss Anyone...?

Who could resist a face like this?

Weekend with Friends and Family!

This was such a fun weekend. Saturday we had a BBQ with some of my friends from high school. Every time we get together there are more little additions so it had to be at the park this time to accomodate all the little people that are now running around (who knows what we'll do for our Christmas get together) It was perfect weather and so fun to be together. I love you girls!

For Mother's day it was Jared's mission homecoming so we were able to see a lot of family. I didn't get many pictures due to Makenna needing attention but I did get one of our family. This is the first time we've been all together in four years! It was so good seeing cousins and we sure did miss those of you who couldn't make it. What a great weekend!

Uncle and Niece meet

My brother came home from his mission on Friday! It's been so fun having him back. Already Makenna and Jared have made a connection- we went out to lunch when he got back and after Jared was done eating he was holding Makenna and she spit up her squash all over. They're going to be best buds!
