Park City Fun

Mom and dad had a condo up in Park City for a week so we went up to hang out and swim a couple of times.

The floaty was Brighams but once Lily borrowed it, she wouldn't let anyone else use it without yelling, 'Mine'!

Jack, Gabe, Brigham, and Ethan.

Fun with cousins.  Sophie, Caleb, Rachel, Ethan, Aerin, Carissa, Spencer, Gilbert.

Playing junk food bingo with Rachel, Sophie, Carissa, and Aerin.  I think almost all the kids won.

End of the year

Although we live close to the school, Taylor ended up driving the kids almost everyday on his way to work.  About once a week, they were able to get him to even walk them to their class.  Usually just 6 kids would ride but on the last day, we had a couple of extra riders to fit into the car.

I got to go on Carissa's field trip to the zoo which was a lot of fun to see her with her friends.  Taylor went with Sophie and her class but there aren't any pictures from it.

Mosquito glasses to see what a mosquito sees.  This will be good for blackmail when she is older:)

Lizzie,Hailey, and Carissa at the water fair at the zoo.

The school had a fun run the last week and Taylor started with Carissa then doubled back to run half with Sophie and half with Ethan.  I stayed on a corner with Gabe and Lily so they could squirt kids with water and I could tell the runners/walkers what direction to go.

Ethan and Soccer

This year Ethan did AYSO (official youth soccer with more instruction)and played great once he was at each game. I think he is coordinated and fast but I've come to realize, most of the battle is the child's interest (which he had when he asked to sign up back in August). The season was a bit long for his attention span and I don't know how many times we had the conversation as to why being a part of a team and following through is important, or "why did you even sign me up for this, I didn't know it would be this loooooong? " Ethan is so cute but I can't say I'm sad the season is over.

Lily is 2!!!

This little curly haired girl is such a joy to our family. I love how she joyfully dances to music and reads books out loud in her special language we don't understand.  She will read anywhere she finds a book.

 She goes down for sleep so perfectly I almost don't want to walk out of her room. Just before I leave, we sing one song and she always puts up her finger and says, 'one mo, one mo' to hear as many songs as she can before closing her eyes.

She loves her swimsuit so we have to keep it hidden until it gets warmer outside.

She loves her siblings to dote on her and to show her dad how pretty she looks after getting dressed and doing her hair.  We all love our 'baby Lily' which we still call her.
