Mckinley's Birthday

This year for Mckinley's Birthday she wanted to have an Ariel party in Grandma's pool.

So that's what we did. 

We invited all our family and had a big party.

She definitely let you know if she liked your present or not.

She told my aunt that she didn't like a stuffed monkey that my aunt had given her.

She promptly gave it to Madelynn.

Two days later, she wanted it back.

We have a diva!

She didn't like everyone singing to her, and she covered her ears.

 Then, right as she was about to blow our her candles, her cousin, Sawyer, ran up and blew them all out.

With some quick thinking on my dad's part, the candles were lit again and I don't think she realized that anything had happened, except a bunch of adults laughing.

July Update

July was a great month. We were lucky enough to spend the entire month is Utah.

It started out great.

The kids got Creature Power Suits from my mom.

Did I mention she MADE these??

She's pretty amazing!

They still play with them almost daily.

Lots of time was spent on the boat at Bear Lake.

We played Catan almost every night.

Almost all the cousins on my mom's side.

I discovered that kids can sit in almost any position and watch t.v.

This wonderful creature was found in our backyard.

We have since found 2 more.

(I really, really hope that's all of them!)

I was able to take a quick trip to Vegas with my family for Kylie's Birthday.

Our room was the one in the box.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

Chris Angel was pretty amazing! Pretty freaky though.

Our awesome view!

Strawberry Lemonade Cake that I made from a recipe from Pinterest.

The frosting is divine!

Mckinley only likes the marshmallows. Our little squirrel.

Taking the tram to the top of Snowbird.

We watched Pa race out at the track. He came in 3rd that day. But was only .025 (if I remember right) seconds away from first.
