*7-18-2015* Busiest July Day Ever

So Brent got smart and bought me a selfie stick. I really really need me one of those what with all the selfies and pictures I take period. He and the girls tried it out first thing. We were pretty darn excited!

  I got to have a turn when I got to take Con and Soy on a date to see The Little Mermaid at Hale Center Theater. We were soooo excited! This was a present from JD and Chris at Christmas and the time had finally come! 

 My beautifuls. 

 And the whole crew! Still trying to get a hang of this stick business. 

 I cannot even tell you how absolutely amazing this play was. I am in awe at the ways they are able to capture a cartoon that is under water and make it so blasted realistic and magnificent. It was INCREDIBLE!!! Here the girls are with Sebastian. 

 I had to rush off from the play straight out to Herriman for Alicia's gym gal shower at Amy's house. She was the cutest hostess. She had it all decked out in 50's diner gear- with glasses and a float bar and everything. It was the cutest. 

 Straight from the shower, I ran home, grabbed my love, and we went to the REAL game. It was a night- beyond gorgeous. We live in the most beautiful land of all :)

Love that man. Even if he doesn't know how to take a picture :) 

*7-15-2015* Summer Lovin

We invited the Ables' over to the rez today and they actually could come!!!! These are besties from the beginning! We love them so much! And our kids love eachother so much! I love it when we are able to get together!

Max and Burke

 Me and Em

And after the rez, we traded Max for Ellie and the girls gave Fin and Soy makeovers and played "fashion fashion" which is a game from when they were like 4. I love it! 

 Every July- for like 5 years, we have gotten together at Yogurtland and celebrated the ladies who have bdays in July.  Ange, Nicolle and Jessica. We bring quite the gaggle and it is so fun. We laugh, we reminisce, we eat.....perfect.

Ange, Ashlie, Kim, Janei'a, Jill, Me, Ashley

 Ashley (picture hog) Kelly, Nicolle, Jess, and Aubry. 

 A love note from my sweet Sawyer. These are the greatest gifts. 

 Dad and I got to take Max on a date. It was great. He's the best. I wish we did it more often.....we are the worst at date nights with the kiddos. But, it was sure fun. 

 And we finally put our pass of all passes to good use and went with Karri and Tolmans.  Blue waterslides are still a Sawyer and Fin fave. 

 Lazy River shenanigans. 

 These guys were off on their grown up own all day. Hardly even saw them. 

 I took Fin and Soy down a slide for once in my life :)

 and we made it out alive! Sawyer was quite worried. 

 Group pics!

 That night, we got to head to Watermoon with Deiberts, and Petersons. Two of my most favorite couples on earth. 

*7-20* Vivian Park and *7-13-2015* Lindon Pool!

Max and I gettin our batter up for the peanut butter bars we made for our up coming evening up the canyon with the good ol besties!

 Con and Lil reunited. 

 Abrea, just hangin, letting it all air out :)

 Camp fire fun. 

 This beautiful little poser :)

 The volleyball court is always like a magnetic pull for the children. 

 Sillies 

 Gorgeousness. Just gorgeousness. With little kids on the side....

 Selfies with my lovies!

 Covered. In all the parts. 

 We got to hit up Lindon Pool with Tiff and the kids this day. Always a blast. We got Tay and Max Flowrider passes too. They are big now you know. 

 Conli proclaimed that I was the coolest mom ever because I went swimming with them. It's the little things, you know. It was so fun to just be in the water hanging with them. And you know what else? I haven't gone swimming really, since I had my lasik. Swimming always made me hate my eyeballs because the chlorine would bug my eyes which in turn would bug my contacts. Goggles people- they're a grand invention!!! I rocked those things and saw all under the water of the lazy river! I'm still amazed that I was granted this miracle!
