Fancy Sunday

A Few pictures in the kids fancy sunday clothes! They just looked to cute to pass up the opportunity to capture the moment. Check out pictures from my dads birthday below!!!





Dad's Birthday

For Dad's birthday we went hiking at Snow Canyon State Park. We had a blast hiking with the kids and teaching them how to throw rocks down the hill. Then the boys watched football while the kids napped and the girls of course went to Tai Pan! We went swimming and got out of the water right before a freak thunderstorm came it was tons of fun!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! We love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much. I am the luckiest girl to have the greatest Dad!!!

Girls Weekend



So a few months ago, I thought maybe me and my mom and sisters could have a girls weekend before Melany went to school, but mom and dad gave us the bet girls weekend EVER. On Friday night my dad surprised us with tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. So Phantom has never really been my thing, but I am in LOVE with the play, it was the most AMAZING thing I have ever seen. We were in the seventh row in the center. Then on Saturday we spent three hours at Deseret Industries trying on anything and everything. We found the cutest things (we have decided the DI trip will become an annual thing during girls weekend). It was so much fun! How lucky I am to have such an amazing family. It was the best start to a great tradition.

Washington county Fair

Tonight was the first time our family has gone to the County Fair, and considering Samarrah would not go on a carousel a few months ago, we were so proud of her going on all the rides. After she would get off of one she would say "WE go on another one" She loved it. Ayo got to go on some rides too, and had a great time. It was so much fun. It's always great to see your children experience something new and LOVE it. Enjoy all of their new experiences!
