Hiking (dragging) Up Timp

So as the family activity coodinator, I thought how much fun I would have hiking to Timp Caves in July. I made a plan and got tickets. Little did I know how easy that part of it was. All I can say is thank heavens for Uncle Danny who was carrying someone at all times. I LOVED it. As did Beth - she didn't look back. But, Kate would say over and over for days - "Mom, I HATE caves. I don't ever want to see another cave - okay?". She was a trooper, but the whole hike was a motivational talk by me and my mom for her benefit. Sophia enjoyed the princess carry. It's like she forgot she had legs for a few hours. Next time we're bringing Dave!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

My girls loved this open house. Beth kept asking to come back. Don't they look beautiful! It was so good for my girls to see what I do when I go there.

Sophia and her wisdom

At risk of seeming obscene. Sophia found this "nursing coverup" and began using it. I have never owned one or used one. She seems to come innately with knowledge about babies and nursing...oh, and the cell phone.

The Reason I Didn't Sue Murray Park

Kate loved the waterslide. Until some darling little girl decided to stop in the middle of it. The attendant didn't see the stop, so she sent Kate down. I was holding an asleep Sophie, so all I saw was my bleeding daughter coming out of the water. Well, she didn't lose an eye. And David just threatened to not let me go to Utah anymore. So I guess we'll let it pass this once.

More cousins ....

Everybody needs a baby. Thank goodness my sisters are having them;)

Cousins...

The girls had fun with their St. George cousins - D thought that Katie was the real deal Elmo. He kept loving on her. It didn't phase him when the costume changed to the next person - he just kept on loving.

Summer crafting

The girls came up with lots of fun Summer projects, but this was one of their favorites... Tie Dye!!! They all found gloves except me!
