Calling the tooth fairy!

Brielle has lost her 2 front teeth. This officially means she's getting big and I'm a little sad about it.

But DANG she is cute! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the toothless smile!

There is something about camping that makes my kids teeth fall out. Exactly 2 years ago Katie lost her 2 front teeth while camping at Palisades and Brielle lost 1 the day we got there and barely missed loosing the other one there, it came out today. 

(more info on our fun camping trip to come when I get all the pictures from my mom's camera)

Lovin' summer ♥

We invited some friends over and got the slip n' slide, the sprinklers, and the pool out.
It was a lot of fun- LOVE summer!

 Jessie LOVED the pool once it warmed up.

 Maren and Katie had a kool-aid stand the other day. I think the entire $1.75 that she made, came from my wallet- :) they had fun!

No boys allowed..

This past weekend Greg went with some of his brothers to California for a VW bug car show. So my Mom and the girls and I packed up and went on a girls trip to Flaming Gorge. We had lots of fun but I've decided that I am not up for single parenthood... 3 kids is too much to handle on your own! 

Thanks to my Mom we survived! 

 The water is still pretty cold and the wind was blowing the day we went to the beach but that didnt stop the girls from having lots of fun. Someone else had built this castle and the girls had fun adding on to it.

 My mom's friend Shari was there with her daughter and grandkids. Natalie and I grew up together camping and playing. Her girls are exactly my girls ages and they played so GREAT together. 

 We did the "Damn tour" ha ha- does that ever get old?

 at the end of the tour you can feed the trout that they bread there. It was insane how many there are and they are HUGE- this picture is from a ways up- some of these fish were 2 feet long I swear! The guide said that on the first few miles of the Green River there are like 1,000 trout per square mile. Lots of fisherman like to fish there. I can see why!

 We made a new little friend. This little guy (or gal) came right up to us and wanted some of the fish food. It is a Marmot- never heard of it but it was pretty cute. And not at all afraid of people!

HaPPy BirThDAy eLLa!

My cute little  niece Ella turns 8 this week. For her birthday party they came to some cute stables and had a horse party. What a CUTE idea! Ella LOVES horses- and now I think my girls do too!

 The girls had so much fun riding the horses. I think lessons would be so much fun!

 

Happy Birthday Ella! We LOVE you!

A fun start to our summer!

We love the hike at Silver Lake because it is so beautiful up there and you can take a stroller and just walk around the lake. Apparently I forget though that even if it is 90 degrees in SL- it is still cold in the higher mountains. It started raining and the temperature dropped and I had NO jackets and could only find a blanket for the baby in the car. We still had FUN and the sun did come out at the end and it was very nice. 

SNOW! Of course Greg couldn't resist starting a snowball fight ;)

We had a fun BBQ with some friends and it was so HOT that the kids were jumping on the trampoline with the sprinklers until about 9:00pm.  Then we did smores on the firepit.

My super cute and fun cousin Emilie came over with her adorable little baby Penelope. We had so much fun hanging out with them- Jessie and Nelle P are going to be GREAT friends!

So big!!

Jessica is now able to balance herself without holding on to things. She will only do it for a few seconds and then she slower lowers herself to the floor. Its only a matter of time now before she is walking!! Crazy!

Schools out for summer!!!

 Today was the last day of school! I can't believe that I now have a 1st & 3rd grader.  Brielle actually finished yesterday and I forgot to bring my camera to the school when I picked her up but I did get some pictures of Katie with some of her best friends from this year. 

Maren, Katie, and Macady

 I printed out some pictures of the girls from their first day of school- crazy how much they have grown this year! I am so excited for this summer. I hope we have lots of fun and just get to be together as a family A LOT- I miss these sweet kids!
