(This is in our bedroom. It says Blessed)
(Above our stairs we have these huge cut outs. We were so happy to find something to go in them instead of giant pictures of our brother and sister...)
It did take us two tries to get there. We missed the exit and were headed for Park City. Brooklyn loved all the animals and I thought it was so neat.
Adam was a good sport heck look at how much fun he had!
Okay so are you imagining with me Brooklyn trying to climb into the giraffe habitat. Oh because she did try, don't ever doubt her. 
After our hot day at the zoo we stopped by IKEA. Okay this was my first time and I was so impressed. After our shopping I went with Melanie to get some gas in her car and Debbie said, " you get the kids in and I will take care of everything else and meet you at the gas station." Once we met up at the gas station we were off. We were almost home when Brooklyn asked for some candy...I knew the candy was in the diaper bag, but where was the diaper bag? Oh don't worry it was still in the parking lot of IKEA. Debbie made sure she had all the kids and she took off.
We were busting up the whole way back to IKEA and when we got there the cart was still sitting in the parking lot with everything still in it.
I've never laughed so hard. This summer we have made lots of lasting memories and we are only 1/3 of the way done!
Wow this summer is flying by. These last couple of weeks we have really enjoyed ourselves and have been able to see alot of family! Scott started it off with graduating from high school. 
My sister and her family came down and we all stayed at the Mandalay Bay. The swimming was great and the hotel was amazing. Thanks mom and dad. We enjoyed the rest of the week with our cousins. WE swam and celebrated and had the best Italian lunch. If you ever get a chance to eat at Maggiano's, do it! Just don't eat too much. Natalie almost lost her life!
For the weekend we traveled up to Utah for a family reunion. Chris and I were able to go early and have some time with his grandparents. Brooklyn loved being spoiled by them and continues to brag that her grandpa has a "big school bus" - motor home!
Grandma showed Brooklyn all of the wonderful things she had in her garden and Brooks would run from one to the next looking at all of them.
Saturday we spent with my dads family and it was so great to see all of them. My cousin sang a love song for my grandparents and it was beautiful. We swam, ate, and celebrated their birthday.
While in St. George my trip would not have been complete without a stop to Tai Pan Trading. Oh man it's like heaven. My sweet friend Lindsay must want me to go broke. I could spend alot of money in that store. Sunday it was time to say farewell to our dad. He got our car all ready and sent us on our way up to Provo. 
We sent him home on the shuttle to work. Chris had an Aunt pass away and I represented the family at the funeral. Once we made it up there I decided I wasn't ready to drive back so I stayed. More to come...
It has been a whirlwind the past two weeks and I will bring you all up to date, but not right now. Here is a great video of the last night of our trip. Things got a little silly. We have had a blast!
Who loves free things? I do! Saturday June 21 at TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE it is national flip flop day. So wear your favorite pair of flip flops and go get a free 24 oz. smoothie!
Brooklyn knew today was her day. Heck she got to eat ice cream for breakfast, along with her Cheerios. Dad was at work today and that was really sad, but Grandma Lori came and took Brooklyn out on a date. 
They went and played in the water features at the park and then Hailey and I met up with them at Mc Donald's. 
After nap time our friends came over for dinner and a party. We had some delicious cake! 
What a fun day! Thank you for all the phone calls Brooklyn feels very loved and so happy!
Happy Birthday sister! I love you!
It's in and I couldn't be happier! It looks great more pictures to come as we continue to work on it!
These are the best pictures I could take. There is alot more concrete, but there isn't a whole lot of room to stand in our backyard to get a good shot of it.
