More cousins... July

We were lucky enough to have lots of cousins visit in July.  Two of my sisters braved the long hours of driving with 5 kids and 2 adults in a van from Texas to Utah (we all met up in Utah at our other sister's house for her baby's blessing), then to Idaho.  I am sure it was a time they and us will never forget, and I am sure they lost some sanity with the trip.  :)  It was so fun to let the kids play and get reaquainted.  We even got babysitters one day and us sisters went to the mall to walk around and out for lunch to Cafe Rio.  YUM!   We are soooo greatful that they took the time to come visit us. LOVE YOU GUYS!!  On our way to Utah, we stopped and saw Ryan's sister and her family and we made a stop at Shoshone Falls in twin Falls, ID.  It is a beautiful place!

Cousins/ 4th of July

We had a busy July.  We went to see fireworks with friends, and had some family come visit.  It was fun to meet our new nephew and niece and let the kids play.  We had plans to go do things while they were all in town, but between 6 kids under 5, 3 of them being babies, we didn't get many places :)  Thanks for coming to visit!

                                                   Don't you just love Ma's hair??

                                   This little one didn't talk much but has so much PERSONALITY!

Sprinkler fun

June - McCall

Ryan went to tape the athletes at a race in McCall in June so we decided to tag along for a quick getaway for a night.  While Ryan was working, the kids and I headed to the beach for some sun and fun in the water.  It was COLD water, but they didn't seem to mind.  They had fun and were all tuckered out on the way home.  :)

Catch Up

So I realized I am WAY behind in posting.  It has been 3 months and a lot has happened.  We have been busy, as always, with our little bugs and life.  In June, I took some pics of the kids for Fathers Day. Couldn't really get a great pic of just B., but these are what I did get.  I tried the whole summer/mango/fruit theme.  Thanks to Mom for B.'s quilt that was a nice prop!

I love these bugs.  And check out the sunlight on those pig tails, or "pink tails" as Ma. calls them!

                                             

B. is 6 months old!

My sweet baby girl is 6 months old today!  Can't believe time has flown by so quickly.  She has 2 teeth now, and is working on more, as evidenced by her chewing on her finger in the picture below!  She is a little stubborn, smarty pants already.  She has figured out that a loud, piercing shriek will get attention from everyone in the room!  She is eating more and more solid foods all the time, smiles and laughs at her siblings, sleeps through the night and has figured out how to move herself around in circles and scoots herself around on her tummy.  She will be crawling before we know it! 

Growing kids

My kids are growing so fast.  Some days Ryan and I just look at them and think, what happened to the time?  Ma still loves the mud and dirt and could play outside by herself for a long time.  It is so nice to have a child that can play by herself!  She keeps us on our toes all the time too with her sassy personality.  Pres is our one that likes us to be by him, and he is our very sensitive and sweet one too.  Although, he is very much boy and loves to wrestle with his dad and tease his sisters!  B. is growing up quickly and outgrows more outfits every day and gives us more smiles all the time.
