Grandma Sandi's

We had a fun weekend at my Mom's last week. The kids played so much and slept so good!

Samantha and Porter look mischievous.








Grandpa Barry told stories to the kids after they swam and ran through the sprinklers. We all sat on the deck and listened.

















Army guys and paints!







Pretty girls all ready for church.
Dad came up to join us, "yeaaaaaa!"

Bubbles

If Samantha could blow bubbles all day she would. But, what is interesting about these photos is her fleece jacket on in the 90 + degree weather! I must have really taught her she can't go outside without a coat in the winter, cause now she WON'T leave the house without her coat and shoes! Thems are da rules!

Memories

Here are the rules:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Girls Camp!

I just got back from Girl's Camp with my YW! They are amazing and after a lot of hard work it turned out wonderful! As you can see we had so much fun! The girls learned a lot and their testimonies grew so much.......success.































I love these girls!

4th of July

We spent the 4th in Farmington with friends and family this year. Thursday night was a 'Girls Night Out' with my sisters that included going out to dinner, a very intense game of Bunko, and pictionary.












The next morning we headed up to the Kaysville parade. This was Samantha's first parade, so we were excited to show her, but she was more interested in this red wagon (which wasn't even ours) than the awesome floats and people going by.










Elisa came with her family, she is due in October with baby boy! Porter was a champ at collecting all the candy.....we gotta work on Samantha's enthusiasm and technique for next year.












Shayla came with us and Doug was in the parade for 'search and rescue', it was fun to see him.

We stopped by the Yorks house after the parade and visited with their family for a while.
Mantha finally got a popsicle after a long, hot day. What a good sport.

Mantha talkinng

Ben's little sister Karilynne (the one on a mission in Sweden) wanted us to get a video of Mantha talking so she could hear her voice. I recorded her in front of the mirror (where she likes to show off).

Samantha is 2!!

Samantha turned two on Saturday and we had a BBQ in the backyard, thanks for all who were able to come! We had a wonderful time, it is so fun to get together with friends and family!
