Surprise

We surprised my Mom tonight with my brother flying in from Australia! We have been working on this since the first of the year and it was so exciting to finally have it here. We had a fun evening together and will be able to enjoy him for the next six weeks.

Pioneer Day

We spent the morning hiking with our friends Gregg, Camille and Truman up at Cascade Springs. The girls had a great time, especially Gabrielle, she had to stop and 'read' every sign along the path.

slip and slide

Gabrielle got a slip and slide for her birthday and we tried it out yesterday. Gabrielle had a great time but Tabitha wasn't so sure.

Sunday Evening

We had a wonderful weekend that we had fun just being together. We spent saturday morning running errands and working in the yard, afternoon swimming and evening BBQing. Sunday we attended church and enjoyed another BBQ and then went on a walk and enjoyed the yard and ended the night playing games with friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well.

Family

My friend Camille took these photos after her son's baby blessing last week. It was a wonderful meeting and blessing, ending with Elder Hollands testimony.

Walking

I posted back around Mothers Day that Tabitha was walking, but she never really went for it again after that. Last week however she really took off and now is a pro walker! She loves it and always has the biggest smile and gets so excited.

4th of July

We enjoyed sparklers and a fire in our backyard as we waited for the midway fireworks, which we had a great view.

Fishing

Brandon took his sisters and Gabrielle out fishing one morning. Gabrielle always has a great time fishing with her daddy and this time she caught the biggest fish!

Smores

We enjoyed a couple of nights out by the fire roasting marshmellows and making smores.

Ponies

We went to Gardner Village one afternoon. After shopping and before dinner the girls enjoyed the petting zoo and a ride on these cute little ponies.

Chick Party

We celebrated Gabrielle's birthday last night with "chicks". Tabitha was right in there with Gabrielle and enjoyed the presents just as much or even more. We had a fun day with family, we skyped my brother Jeff in Australia while we sang and ate cake. My sister-in-law Emily helped or rather did the fabulous chick cake balls, which were delicious!

Zoo

We had a great afternoon at the zoo.
