Causey

This weekend the Bates came up from Provo and we went to Causey with them and the Colemans. The boys cliff jumped while the girls sat in tubes and watched. Despite the fact that the Bates brought with them some wind and cooler temperatures, it was a blast. We sure do love these guys!

The women showing off their chest hair... that's gross, I'm just kiddin.

The last few weeks

Here are some pictures of the last few weeks, just for fun.

Olivia helping David with the dishes.
This weekend we spent an evening at David's parent's house for his niece, Adelaide's birthday. His sister Liz and brother-in-law Chad have some dogs and one of them had puppies while we were there. It was pretty cool to watch, so we all pulled up chairs and visited while this poor dog gave birth. Cruel, isn't it?


Oh the things this girl can do.

Sometimes we let Bagheera in the house to take a nap.


Getting ready to go outside and help me weed.

I hate doing laundry!


"Help! Dad's got me in here and I can't get out! Save me!"

Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's

A while ago we spent the weekend at the Stevenson's. David's sister Amanda was visiting from Washington and we had fun playing with her crazy kiddos.


Burke with Olivia in a headlock. These two are just a month apart.


We went on a little horseback ride around Huntsville. It scared me having Olivia on a horse, so I was chicken and walked a little bit but it was still fun and Olivia had a great time, of course.



This is a little video just showing how helpful little Lucy is with Olivia. She'll be a great little mother!

Bear Lake

Every summer my family goes camping to Bear Lake for a week or so. This tradition started with my Grandpa and a few of his friends. Now, years later, they each have grandkids and great-grandkids that have made this a yearly tradition. It's a big crowd! I LOVE Bear Lake and look forward to it every year. This year was particularly great because it was Olivia's first year and David got to be with us most of the time (work usually gets in the way).

My cousin Camla and Olivia. What gorgeous girls. We ate at Bear Lake Pizza and downed an entire Old Ephraim pizza! Of course it took about 20+ people to do it.

Master of Mischief. I won't tell you the story about this. I'll leave it up to your imagination.

So happy to be here.

"Mommmmmm..."
Taking a little snooze in the tent.

Chillin with Grandpa.

Bath time in Grandma's tent trailor.

"Aaaah Aah Aaaah!" (Singing like Arial on the Little Mermaid).





See ya next year, Bear Lake!!!

Miss these guys!!!

This was a while ago, but I just wanted to throw this picture in here. Our friends the Smiths had a BBQ and invited a bunch of us from our old ward. Our WONDERFUL old ward. Plus the bishopbric. I really miss our ward and the amazing bishopbric and their wives. Here are some of us who have had babies and some of those now pregnant. We love all of you!

Winter in July

My sisters and I went ice skating while my mom sat with Olivia. I can't tell you how good it felt to be so cold to need a jacket in the middle of 90-degree weather. It was fun and I like hanging out with my sisters!


Annie showing off her sweet moves.

Our cheer squad.

Elle and Katie racing. One time they tripped each other and fell and then got mad at me for not taking a picture of it. I will admit, it was a sweet crash.
