America the Beautiful

So, I just really need to get this blog post up, and then get ready to pack. We are headed to Utah for my youngest brother, Dhylan's, wedding!  So, this will be a blog of pictures! Enjoy and forgive!

Movie Night with Porter and Addie, to Despicable Me 3! It was great!

Porter turned 12..... 12 y'all. That is crazy old!   He is such a special boy. He has matured a lot, but is still so young at heart. He has been a life saver with Ellie. Always willing to step up and hold her, and take care of her. He was so excited to turn 12 and receive the priesthood. He has really taken it seriously. He loves to be a part of the Young Men Program, and just keeps growing!   I need him to slow down the year!

Swim team with Barracudas was a blast, like it always is!!  Especially when great friends are there to do it with you!

June Birthdays Breakfast!

Last day of primary!

Cuddles after the gym

Swim meets and keeping babies happy is kind of hard!

Nice photo bomb Porter!

Birthday Breakfast for Porter, German pancakes, of course!

Ellie Selfie!

Porter's birthday party!

I didn't have a 1 and a 2, so we made it work! ha!

Great friends!

High Heaven Party!

Addie is always so thoughtful!

Porter got a Remote control boat from Grandma Sally! He loves it!

Just a sneak peek at the house renovation, we were getting the pad ready for the addition!

Star hair!

These girls are so cuuuute!

We didn't get to the store early enough to get matching tshirts, so we got festive with what we had! Aren't they cute?! 

One of my projects for the new house!

Somebody go a big girl hair cut! It kinda made me cry a little, she looks so grown, super cute though! She is growing up too fast too!

The 4th we mostly worked on the house. Thomas didn't get home until almost 8:30. Ellie was already in bed, so me and the other kids hurried over to try to see the fireworks.  We parked like a mile away, and walked as fast as we could.  We were trying to get where our friends were, but as we were hurrying up a hill, we noticed the spot where they actually firing off the fireworks. So, we threw our blanket down and basically watched directly under them, we may even have gotten ash on us, we were so close. It was so loud, it took Addie a minute to be ok with it! Ha! But it was quite the 4th!
