Shumway Cousins!

It was so much fun having all the kids together. I cannot wait to watch as they grow and develop relationships with each other. It's so fun they come in pockets too. They all have their buddies. We got to celebrate Raleigh's birthday and have a nice Sunday together. It was a really quick trip to Utah, but it worked out so nicely.

Poor Hope... Ava wouldn't leave her alone.

Grandpa Dug The Super Hero

My dad has always been my hero, and now he has fifteen more adoring fans. He is Super Grandpa and today he is taking these five to Chuck-a-Rama all by himself. When they realized no other adults were going, they all broke into song, cheers, and a happy dance. 💙

Jamie is Getting Married!

My life long best friend is getting married. Matt, the kids, and I flew to Utah for a quick weekend so we could go to their reception. Their actual sealing is in two weeks in Oklahoma City. I am so grateful for Jamie in my life. If I look back at the highlights in my life, Jamie is in 99% of them. I am so happy for Jamie too. I really feel like Jamie and Sam are perfect for each other. They are both so easy going and fun. Love them both so much! The only problem is that they live too far away from us.

Doesn't Jamie look gorgeous? Her dress was perfect.

Family Hike

Today's hike was a little steeper, longer, and warmer than we have done in awhile. It was beautiful, fun, and a good workout though. Ended the day with washing the car and having a water fight.
