Lotion Anyone?
Making messes is a very common thing for Ally. She loves lotion and make-up and toothpaste, etc. This is how I found her one night after a long day! She had really dry skin...give her a break!
A visit to the Temple!
My nephew, Klay went through the temple before leaving on his mission to Australia and we went to wait outside for him to come out. I took several pictures of my kids, I think because they looked like angels on these beautiful grounds.
Precious!
This one is alittle less than angelic, but such a stud-muffin!
And of course we had to have one of Madison's model poses!
So cute...shiner and all! At least it matches her outfit!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLY!
My baby turned two! She is not a baby anymore! She has a mind of her own and she knows how to use it!
I made her a Dora cake, just like she wanted! We celebrated Kassi's 3 girls birthdays at the same time. Harlee turned 7, Jordyn turned 6, and Paris turned 4. As you can see by the large whole in the cake...Ally couldn't wait!
She got a dress-up trunk from Gramma Mimi and she was decked out for the remainder of the party and every day from then on!
Daddy's little princess!
We love you big 2-year old!
ALASKA
John and I were able to go on a 7-day cruise to Alaska with his parents and sister.
We had an amazing time and loved every minute of it. I thought 7 days was going to be so long to be away from home, but the time went by so fast and we were having so much fun that I didn't want to go home, except to see my 3 cute kids, of course. Here are just a few pictures. My camera wasn't the best and so I want to steal a few pics from my sister-in-law. We saw a ton of wildlife including many whales that I did not get good pictures of.
This was our ship taken from one of the ports.
For one of our excursions we took dune buggy through the mud and rain and got soaking wet and dirty. We were dressed from head to toe in this attractive gear. The views were absolutely amazing. I could move to Alaska, except for the 285 some odd days of rain they get every year.
This was a very cold day to be out on deck, but we wouldn't have missed the views for anything. We took the small canal that you can see behind me between the mountains to the Hubbard Glacier. I have never seen anything so spectacular. The glacier was huge. The ice was bright blue in some place and it was amazing to watch very large chunks slam into the icy waters below. The loud crash and rumble was heard and felt from the ship.

What is summer without a 2-year old to make messes?!
This is a bag of rice that she dumped and then skated through.
"I skate mommy, I skate!"
Madison got a butterfly habitat for her birthday
and this was the day to let them free! They were so much fun to watch.
We went with Becky, Sari, and Kate to the Thanksgiving Point
Children's gardens. They had so much fun playing in the water!
Ally got her new BIG GIRL bed with new Dora sheets, of course!
Happy Father's Day Daddy! We LOVE you!
Jaxon and Madison called me upstairs to visit their zoo
and this is what I found. The rare white alligator! I was cracking up!
As you can see they even had the blue water and the turtle was food.
Our summers always include a trip to Snowbird with
Grandpa and Grandma Carol.
