July 2021

Another beautiful morning of hiking





We went to Aunt Joy's house for the 4th of July. They were pretty locked down during the past year and a half and we missed them!


Lexi and Kenzie are really in to giving spa treatments. It's pretty funny. 
I took Lexi on a date to see Black Widow. She brought her Black Widow doll and the doll watched it all with us.



Sometimes they act like they like each other.

Lexi and Jojo had their well child check-ups. Lexi is 11 years old. She is 76 lbs. (29%) and her height is 58 in (57%). Jojo is 5. She weighs 34 lbs (9%) and is 41.8 in tall (29%)/ 

I find random selfies on my phone from one of the kids.

Olympic night with Dad's cousins. We all had a great time!




Our friend Tess got married. She was waiting for the first presidency letter to come through saying she could. She canceled the wedding because she hadn't heard from them. Friday morning the letter came through so she got married the same day! We helped throw a reception together. The girls loved the dancing.
We went to the Beatles tribute band in Daybreak with Daniel and Rachel's families. The kids had a blast running around. We had fun doing tricks on the grass, wrestling, and visiting.







TJ loves ice cream but is a mess with it!

Our friends threw a 24th of July party. They had popcorn, ice cream, a dunk tank, volleyball courts, face paining, and a ton of other games and food. We had a good time playing. The kids loved the dunk tank.



The air has been really smokey from the fires in California. It makes the sun and moon look really cool. 
Thayne and Tyson went to YMs camp. Of course it's been dry all summer except while they were camping. They got pretty flooded one day. I think they still had a lot of fun.

TJ loves animals.

TJ hates nursery so comes to class with us. We will break this habit eventually...

We went to the parade of homes this year. I went with my mom and Thayne one night and then again with Rachel and my mom and then again with Lexi and my mom. There are some gorgeous houses out there.



We cut Jojo's hair again for family pictures. She loves getting her hair and nails done at Sharkey's.




This is TJ walking to church. He insisted on carrying scriptures and gloves.
Tyson won't snuggle with me but loves snuggling with TJ
We are soaking up the sun and doing all things summer!






Kenzie went to her friend's party
We threw a small birthday party for Jojo. We told her to invite 5 friends for her 5th birthday. She invited way more so we switched plans and let her invite them all. We went ice blocking, played kickball, ate cake, and gushed over Jojo. When I asked her what 5 friends she wanted to invite she told me 4 kids and Brother Gull. Brother Gull is 77 and Jojo LOVES him and sees him as one of her playmates. We made sure he was invited. He couldn't come to her party so he took Jojo on a special date to In-N-Out with Sister Gull. Jojo loved it.


Grandma and Grandpa Gardner came for a visit.


Lexi's daddy daughter date for activity days.

We hiked Donut Falls with Lauren and her boys. You have to eat donuts after hiking donut falls, right?
