July 24th, 2012

Before Pioneer day was actually upon us the girls and I went with 

my parents to the Day's of '47 float preview. It was so much fun!

My girls would make a tasty banana split :)

I loved that the people who made the sheep float let the girls get up and have a picture. Abi wasn't to sure about it. The Flyin' to Zion float was huge and very cool. I also loved the big spinning cupcake.

On the 24th we enjoyed both sunny and rainy weather and being together.

Playing in water July 2012

We spend summer in our backyard.

Playing in a big bucket of water.

More playing in the bucket and foot prints (Mine, Katie's, Abi's)

Abi finger painting. Outside in swim suits is the best place to do it. You just hose the kid down after :)

Night Gowns July 2012

I had seen a cute idea for pillowcase night gowns and decided to make up some for my girls. The night gowns were very easy it was getting pictures that was the hard part. They each took turns having breakdowns but in the end we got some cute pictures!

July 4th 2012

John and I have a friend that we have known since school days, Laren. In fact I've known him since elementary. He enjoys fireworks and lives near us and so when he invited us to his fireworks show we were happy to go.

We walked over with the girls in the wagon and enjoyed the show!

He had huge awesome fireworks. You could feel the small rocks and such rain down on you as the fireworks went off.

We enjoyed cookies and popcorn during the show. And somehow despite how loud it was Abi fell asleep.

They were awesome fireworks! We were so grateful for the invite. Can you believe all those fireworks! 

This is the pile after they were all lit off.

We enjoyed celebrating the nations birthday together!

The Zoo June 2012

If you haven't noticed we love our Zoo membership! June of 2012 the Rocky Shores exhibit opened. We waited a couple weeks after it opened and then couldn't wait any more. The girls loved it and quite frankly so did I!

Polar bear statues, cute girls, and funny faces!

Watching trainers working with the Sea Lion and the Harbor Seals.
