So I realize I am way behind on blogging, but here we go.
We did a family hike in Pleasant Grove. There was whining all the way up until we got to the waterfall, and then there was happy chatter all the way down. Especially since we found walking sticks.
This girl is sweet. Also, she doesn't judge me when I buy chocolate coconut almonds at Costco.
My first attempt at French braiding, to make "Anna" hair. Thank you, YouTube.
The handsome birthday boy after Kindergarten.
Succulent thighs.
Preparing for the big Lego birthday party!
Asleep in the swing.
Pleased with her new swimsuit.
Screeching in her highchair.
I got to attend Sammi's preschool field trip to Hogle Zoo. She loved having my full attention, since it's really hard to come by with other siblings around.
Can you spot the sea lions behind her?
Cozy little burrito.
Sisters sitting up together.
Sweet little face, unsure of that dang wind. I could kiss those rosy little cheeks all day.
This picture pretty much says it all.
Lego cake for celebrating with Grandma and Grandpa J. Uncle Brad was pretty jealous he didn't have a cake like this. :)
I cannot believe I have a SIX year old!
We went on a little family outing to Spanish Oaks Reservoir. It has a nice little beach for the kids to play on, and an concrete sloping wall all around to fish off of. Everything was going really smoothly with the kids playing in the sand, tormenting the fish that Daddy caught (which they named Glubby) in their little manmade moat...until Emerson went over to help Daddy fish, and he stepped on some reservoir goo and slid into the water in slow motion. Ben of course ran to the rescue, slipping on the goo as well and flailing in slow motion while trying to scramble back up the bank with Emerson climbing up him. This led to Tyler (our friend and fellow resident) trying to save Ben and E, and all three of them going in. Meanwhile, I was loading up some stuff in the car to get ready to go, and then spotting the trouble and trying to run across the beach with Maddi in my arms. Luckily, there was a big strong man and his son who had just finished working on their life-saving merit badge for Scouts. Addie threw the white life-saving donut to the boys, and the Scouts pulled them all to safety. We were so glad everyone was ok!
Before the reservoir goo incident.
We had a very wet and cold Daddy and Emerson after they fell in the reservoir. It just made me glad the kids are taking swimming lessons as we speak.
