Ava lives across the street. These two have a love/hate relationship. One minute they are sweet and cute together and the next, they're pulling hair and teasing each other. Here, Ava is teaching Elsie how to roll down the hill - so cute!
Puddle jumping!
Quick, random, giant hail storm in the middle of April, just for fun:
The Parker women that were in town went for a weekend in Park City for a Mother's Day gift from all of our husbands. So thoughtful of them! We had a lot of fun. We ate yummy food, watched a chick flick, shopped, ate icecream for breakfast and just had fun together.
Look at that sassy face. She's started talking to herself and singing in front of the mirror. It's hilarious!
Baby feeding baby...it's easier from in the crib, of course.
Young Womens at my house - beehives had a cupcake war. Both teams made beautiful cupcakes; however, one team learned a valuable lesson on the difference between a tsp and Tbs when it comes to baking soda....yuck!
"Just soaking up the sun in my sun glasses while holding my purse!" Little Diva!
Elsie loves to put on my clothes and shoes. Here's Elsie pinning the neighbor girl, Bently.
Mike got to travel again for work and saw the Mall of America - he took a picture for me:
You'd think my arms and back would be super strong after all the piggy back rides and such that I'm giving on a daily basis.
She loves to invade Daddy's space. Just sit right there on his shoulder, that'll get his attention. She's a smart girl.
Playing in her new sand box! Yay! I remember the sand box being one of my favorites when I was little. Especially when my dad would come out and help us build a huge village of sand houses and a castle.
Blow up water slide at the next door neighbor's birthday party....woohoo!
Love those pearls little girl!
Mellow moment with Mommy. Love those - they are more rare lately.
This is what they got us for employee appreciation at work - cool!
Rainbows are the best!
Memorial Day trip to Redding:
Teague and Steph came too and they surprised us all by bringing Adele!
No need for clothes if you're 2 years old and at Grandma's house. Her and Adele were naked almost the whole time, and even had a designated pee spot on the lawn. It was hilarious! Thankfully it didn't carry over when we returned home to Utah (our neighbors are a lot closer than Grandma's).
We took a trip to Berney falls one day
We had to get them matching cow girl boots, and of course they had to wear them throughout the store while we shopped.
Aunt Stephy is a favorite. Sometimes they'd fight over her.
Bath time!
Working on our fitness!
The boys decided to buy and put in a permanent, expensive, basketball hoop. Since none of us kids live at home anymore, some were a little peeved that Dad waited til now to do this. We all enjoy it when we go there though.
Life moves a little slower when we're in Redding and it's really quite nice. It always makes it hard to leave though.
...and sleeping...
Another fun-packed trip to Redding!
