Hailey in an authentic Chinese outfit that Aunt Kimberly brought home from China a couple of years ago (for Aliyah).  It fits Hailey now!

And playing magnetic dolls

Packer

Packer is such a happy, fun, and cute boy!

Here are some pictures of that handsome guy!

He is so funny!

He is quite a tease and loves to make us laugh!

So silly!

And I am so lucky!  He loves snuggling!

Here are some snuggles with Aunt Laura!

He loves to help - anyway he can...vacuuming, cleaning up, cooking and licking bowls:)

He loves cars, tractors, and bikes

This is my cousin's son. These two are very close in age.

It was so cute to watch these two follow each other around!  I think they liked having someone their size!

The boys playing in the water fountain

We love Packer so much!  He has brought so much joy to our lives!

Bikes and Temple Square

The kids all have bikes now!  I love it! They love riding them together.

So cute!

When I went for my bike ride the other morning, I saw a yard full of ducks and had to stop to get a picture!

Here is a picture of us girls when we went to see the summer flowers at Temple Square.  

Summer treats

We love our summer treats!

We had some yummy homemade ice-cream cones and I couldn't decide which picture I liked best of the kids enjoying them!

We went to Heritage days and got some cotton candy.

We were planning to get one to split between the girls, but Aliyah's favorite color is blue and Hailey's favorite color is pink and those were the two colors to choose from.  So Jeff was torn between choosing out of two favorites and ended up buying one for each girl.  He has a soft spot for his kids.  I love it!  Both girls were so happy and excited!

These pictures are a little blurry, but still cute!

We went to a place called AppleCreek.  They have almost every flavor of jam that you can think of!  They have candy, cheeses, meats, and more!  We love that store!  We happened to bump into Jeff's parents there and they treated us to some ice-cream.  Thank you!

Packer loved his scoop!

4th of July

We went over to the Thomsons for a BBQ and fireworks to celebrate our country's independence.  

While over there, we noticed some deer (bucks) in the field behind us!

Jeff manned the BBQ - we had a yummy dinner!

And finished up with some Popsicles and Ice-cream bars

We finished up the evening by watching some fireworks Uncle Jayce got for us and then going to see the West Point fireworks from a park.  We had a great evening!  Thanks Thomsons!
