Megan comes home!

My little sister Megan came home from her mission to Orlando Florida about a month ago. It has been so fun to see her again and spend the past month with her. Hannah is already in love with her and is loving all of the attention Megan gives her.






All of my sisters came to town during the past month for Megan's homecoming. We packed a years worth of fun into a few weeks.

We began the month water skiing and tubing with my cousin's family. This was Hannah and Mac's first time on a boat. Hannah was a little hesitant about being on a boat at first but ended up loving it. She even got on the tube and went for a ride with Jake. Mac was mostly oblivious to the whole thing except for the part when we stuffed him into a very uncomfortable life jacket.

We spent a day downtown visiting Temple square.
This is a picture of all the grand kids except McKay. He was asleep in his stroller at the time.

Hannah and Grandma

Hannah loved visiting the statue of Christ. She kept standing in front of him jumping while reaching her arms way up toward him. (I wish I would have gotten it on video.)

All the girls got dressed up and danced to the music at the Children's section of the Church History Museum.

We visited Wheeler Farm,


and the zoo.



We went swimming.

We went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point. While we were there we went on a wagon ride.




Hannah got to ride a pony and loved every minute of it.


We took advantage of the 50 cent ice cream cones.


We spent an afternoon with Great Grandma and enjoyed hearing her tell stories about her childhood. She just turned 99 in July!

We went to the aquarium.


My sister took family pictures for everyone while she was visiting. Thanks again Rachel.


That wraps up a little chunk of  our summer. It was so much fun to have my sisters and their families in town for a while. We  miss seeing them already. (More posts to come from earlier this summer.)

Catching Up...

I feel so overwhelmed when I think of how far behind I am on this blog. I have decided to start with the most recent events and work backward....
Jake and I celebrated our 4th anniversary about a week ago. We went and saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat at the Hale Center Theatre and ended the evening with an amazing dinner at The Melting Pot. It was the first time either of us had been there and we both rolled out of the restaurant and into bed that night with very happy and full tummies.


The greatest accomplishments and blessings over the last 4 years....

are these two little cuties in our lives.
