Bryce Canyon

For the 4th of July we went to Bryce Canyon with Grandma and Grandpa Stubbs. What a quaint little town/National Park it is!

Touring the Bryce Canyon Museum:

Now we're headed on the shuttle to see part of the canyon:

Truly some AMAZING views of the spectacular rock formations.

Hally's 5th Birthday

I can't believe my sweet Hally Bear turned FIVE on June 20th! Hally is full of PERSONALITY! She isn't afraid to talk about cute boys (her older sister hates to talk about boys). She LOVES Justin Beiber and was thrilled when she received a JB Barbie for her birthday! She's my snuggle bunny and always finds herself on my lap. She's learning to read and will be finished with the Distar Reading Program just in time for Kindergarten. She completes our family and we love this little girl oh so much! Happy Birthday, Hally.

She wanted a Barbie cake. It didn't turn out the best, so don't look too closely.

For Hally's birthday we gave her the option of having a big friend party with all of her friends, or choosing 2 friends to take with us to Planet Play, a pizza/arcade/all around fun place for kids. She chose Planet Play. First we had the all you can eat pizza/salad/dessert buffet. Then we opened presents. Next we played arcade games, went miniature bowling and miniature golfing. Then we had cake and ice cream and headed for home. What a fun day!

BFF #1 = Riley

BFF #2 = Miles

A look back at the month of June

=)Here's what we've been up to:

Making messes.

Addi, Hally and I got feathers in our hair and love them!

Playing with friends. Kendall and Mickayla.

The girls had their first sleepover with friends! They had so much fun!

Birthday lunch with grandma and grandpa:)

Addi completed her 4th year of swimming lessons and Hally completed her 3rd year.

My flower garden is looking so pretty. All of my perennials are coming in fuller and fuller every year. I love having a flower garden:)

We've been married almost 8 years and we've NEVER had a grill! *gasp* I gave Tim a grill for his birthday and he loves it!

Tim's 1st grilling experience. Not too shabby:)

Tim's birthday cake. Yummy.

Here we are at the parade directly behind our house. We're kickin' off Pony Express days.
Kendall rockin' out in the car to Adele and a day at the Herriman Splash Pad.

A day at the Zoo

Our summer started off with a fun day at the Hogle Zoo. Although I have to admit, I'm kind of disappointed with the animal selection lately. There are no bears, polar bears, lions, zebras or hippos. I also feel like some of the animals' living quarters are less than appealing. Cement cages just don't seem natural. I guess I shouldn't be so hard on our little zoo. I can tell they're trying to makes some improvements and it does take lots of money to do so. Hey, as long as the kids have fun then that's all that matters, right?
