Our trip to Utah

All the little cousins hanging out at Nana's house





We got to spend some time with Jon's family, Emily loved playing around with uncle Kevin and Grandma and Grandpa Taylor at the park.

Laura and Tom's Wedding

My sister Laura was married in the Salt Lake Temple to her sweetheart Tom. That meant we got to go home to Utah! It was so great to be there in the sealing room with my family, the Temple is such a special place. I'm so grateful for the principle of eternal families. Here are a bunch of pictures from that day. Waiting for the happy couple to come out on the temple grounds, and the wedding breakfast afterwards. The little grandkids are so stinkin cute!

The Reception

Lake

Just a small lake we saw and decided to play in...

The Park

We found another park, this one is probably our favorite. Emily calls it "Froggy Park" because it has a frog bouncy thing. I'm glad its cooling down and we can be outside again!











These last two are from a while ago, I just wanted to show how Myra is scooting around, she will usually scoot backwards, this time she backed up under the couch!

Bouncin' Bonanza!

This week for play group we went to Bouncin Bonanza! It was really fun, we will definatley be back.




Once Emily got used to the idea, she went nuts, the only hard thing was getting her to come out and go home,




This is some of the moms that go to play group from my ward

This is Sara and her boys, Jacob, Issac, and Stratton. We actually grew up on the same street and she graduated with my sister, small world!

I love my babies

Here some pictures of just hanging around the house. These first pictures are really yellow, not sure how to fix that. I really need to learn photoshop, maybe one of these days I'll have time for things like that....not likely I hardly have time to brush my teeth! Anyway Myra got to try a little pizza crust, she loved it. Emily is getting so big, it's crazy to hear her putting sentences together! She loves her hat from Nana. I'm so glad my shows are starting againg, still laughing from the office. Well I'm going to bed, Good night!

Well this is a little late but....

Myra is 6 months old!
Strike a pose!


She is getting better at sitting, and is always smiling, I love her!
Look at those blue eyes!
Myra loves taking baths with Emily, she just laughs out loud, it's so cute!

She lets Emily cover her head with stickers, she just loves her big sister.

Myra is such a blessing in my life, I can't even begin to describe how special she is to me. I can feel her Christlike spirit and I am truly humbled. I can't believe she is already 6 (almost 7) months, she is still my tiny sweet little baby.

The Park

I decided we need to get out of the house so I packed up the girls and started driving. I remembered seeing a fun park so I ventured out hoping to find it, and eventually I did! It is seriously a huge park, with 5 or 6 different playgrounds and a splash park as well, and tons of grass to run around, it was fun. I met a cute girl with little kids who also happens to be in my ward! (a friend, yay!) It was good to sit and chat, and she let me know where all the fun things to do are, etc.
Something funny that happened yesterday was this lady came to my door selling meat, she kept saying ( in a thick southern drawl) "my boss says I can't come back with any meat in my freezer" I asked how much it was and she said " if you look at the price you are already blocking your blessing, I want to bless your family today," I thought 'not for 15 bucks a pound!' People down here are funny, most are baptist I think.
The girls are doing great, I have them on a bit of a routing now, Myra takes her first nap at around 10 and they both take a nap around 1. Myra is becoming a pro at eating solid foods, I just gave her peas for the first time yesterday, she liked it. She is a sweet little baby, her smile always melts my heart. She loves watching Emily's every move. Emily is talking so much now, I love her head strong little personality.

The Forth Worth Zoo

Back in Utah, my sisters and I took the kids to the farm, my double stroller became a triple stroller, it didn't work too well.

Hello from Texas!

Well since I am so behind in blogging, rather than trying to catch up on everything that's been going on this summer I will just start from now and randomly add pictures from the last couple months on future posts. So we moved to Texas, that was fun. I seriously have the best family ever, we had our whole house packed up and scrubbed from top to bottom in 3 hours. Jon drove down with all of our stuff, (26 hr drive..poor guy!) When he got here some ward members came and helped him unload. I stayed at my mom's house for a few days. We shopped, ate, talked, and just hung out.
It was really hard to say goodbye to everyone. We are a close family, the last night everyone was there and we ate Thai food and doughnuts and ice cream. My mom flew out to Texas with me and the girls. She is an angel, there is no way I could've done that be myself. We made a good team, Emily and Myra did suprisingly well.
We spent the next couple days getting settled. We went to the Fort Worth Zoo and went out to eat some Texas BBQ. Poor Emily gets heat rash every time we go outside, she' not used to the humidity, neither am I. It's extremely hot.
Today we took my mom back to the airport, I cried. No matter how much we like it here it will be hard to be away from family. At least we get to go back in October for my sister's wedding. Anyway it's time for me to catch up on More to Love. I will be posting more regularly so check back soon.
P.S.
DONT MESS WITH TEXAS!
