Messy

The upside to having the older two girls gone is that the two younger girls are finally getting along. It is so fun to watch them play so well together.

And I can tell you that I love this mess right now.

Special Weekend!

We were in Utah this weekend. It was a super quick trip, but it was special and very lovely. Friday was traveling day.

Saturday was another traveling day, but only for a couple of hours so that we could see this lovely family get sealed.

Such a great day.

When we got back we had some more fun.

Unfortunately it was such a short trip because we have 2 1/2 days of school left! We loved it though!!!

The Best Weekend

This last weekend was the best!!

Two of my lovely sisters and their kids came to visit.

Yay!

They even cleaned a little bit.

Morgan watched her beloved Saints play.

She got a little crazy.

Here is proof of the fun we had. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

I love these ladies like crazy.

I wish that we lived closer so we could see each other more often. But I will take a weekend like the one I got. So much fun and we were so sad to see them leave today.

Best Friends

These two.....

Sisters

On the 9th we met my dad in St. George and gave him the three older crazies. They were going to go spend some fun summer time at Nana and Papa's house. I missed them so much and didn't really know what to do with myself for the week (even though GiGi is very well capable of keeping me busy).

Today we went back to St. George to pick them up. So happy to see them, but miss GiGi was SO excited. She missed them. We all went out to eat with my Aunt and Uncle, which I always love seeing and which I apparently can't get a pic of.

When we finally got home, these crazies hung out and watched a movie together. Love how much they love each other.

I'm so happy they are home. Now back to craziness!!!

Sisters

Ring around the rosie....

pocketful of posies...

ashes, ashes we all fall down.

That is what big sisters are for.

Sisterly Love

This morning was pretty chilly! I left the girls watching cartoons while I went and picked up our bountiful basket and I came home to this...

They were so happy and cuddly.

My Beautiful Sister

You know how you have friends or family that live so close, but you don't get around to visiting them as much as you would like to? You don't really need to make plans to go visit because they live in the same town and you can visit them whenever? And then one day things change so much that that person is going to move and then you realize that you should have gone to visit more often or gone out to get icecream or just stopped by to say a quick hello. Well that has happened to our family. Ryan and Ali have gotten a divorce and yesterday Ali moved to Arizona. I am so sad that she had to move. I know it was the best thing for her to do and that things will work out, but I am so sad that I am not going to be able to see her whenever I want to.


She has been such a great sister-in-law and I have been blessed to have her in my life. She is just as crazy if not more than our family--and those of you who know my family know how crazy we are. :) I will always remember the very first time I met her. They had been married for a couple of months and we were in the airport to pick them up (She is from Spain and that is where they were married). When they got off the plane I was so excited to see Ryan and meet her, I started to walk towards them and Ali gave me a big hug and said "It's good to meet you Tiffany." I was so shocked (I don't know why) that she knew my name and everyone elses for that matter. They lived with us for a couple of months before they found a place and moved to Provo. It has been 11 years (in November) since then with a lot of fun times and some really sad times and the chance to get to know each other well and get to become close like sisters. Girls day won't be the same without her and family get togethers will always be one person short.

Ali, I just want you to know how much I love you and how much I will miss you. We will see each other again. Just remember to have fun down there, meet new people, experience all that Pheonix has to offer and be good! You will forever be apart of our family and nothing will ever change that no matter what anyone says--we have it on paper!!! I love you and miss you already.

Not the best pic, but it works!

Getting Big

Here is a picture of our little princesses. They are so fun and I love them all so much. They have such incredible personalities and make us laugh ALL the time. I can't believe how big they are all getting. It looks like Tyda is a little bit scared to be in between Hawley and Scarlett--she might be, they can get a little bit overwhelming. But they are good big sisters and help me out a lot!
