We love our Daddy!

We start em young at our house!

(Our girls love playing cards...they get this from my side I think.

I love this picture of Ellia and her Daddy.)

More daddy/daughter time! Wade took the oldest two rock climbing a few weeks ago.

They had a good time.

Janie is our little climber. She climbed all the way to the top of all three climbs.

Addi's starting to pick it up too!

Even more daddy daughter time...

Janie slipped in the shower and cut her chin open. Wade took her to the clinic and stitched her back up. 5 stitches. They are out now, and she's healed up quite nicely.

Last but not least...there's a celebrity in town!

Ever heard of Tow-Mater?

Unfortunately, it was a little bright for pictures! :)

4th of July

We took a break from our usual small town celebration this year

and joined my brother and his family for their small town 4th of July celebration.

*though theirs is not as small as ours, it was much the same.

See all these handsome boys...(sigh - if only, if only)

Someone's gotta even us out I guess.

We had a great time!

And here's a good belly shot. Still a little over a month to go!

Man Alive - Our Addi's 5!

How on earth have we gone from this:

To this:

My little girls are growing up way too fast!

I can't believe my little Addilyn is already 5.

Here is the birthday girl's extremely homemade cake...

which was a big hit with the kids - cause there was A LOT of candy on top!

My neighbor was kind enough to let us borrow this slide...

which made it a very easy birthday party for me!

I think she liked it too! :)

My spicy little Addi girl,

We love you so, so much. You brighten up a room with your silly (rather loud) laugh! You are so affectionate and loving. You hate being teased, when you get in trouble, and doing chores. As of late, your favorites are: your sisters, anything girlie, junk food, playing with friends (so long as it's at our house), coloring, reading books, and saying potty words (poop, pee...)to make your sisters laugh. You are a delight! We are so happy you are ours!

The Zoo!

While I was having a much needed sisters weekend in St. George (seeing The Little Mermaid)...

Dad took all three little girls to the Hogle Zoo!

Uncle Benny and Jaycee went too!

My girls love Uncle Benny...even when he tries to feed them to the dinosaurs!

Mostly I just couldn't resist adding this pic!

Good times!

Love my little family!
