This Girl Loves Selfies!

 

She's looking at herself on my computer screen. And she knows it's Charity. And she loves it. I love that cute smile, too! 😍

Childproof Bins... Why didn't I think of it??!

Emily, you are a genius!!! 

She needs help making this product available for purchase, so she fundraising with KickStarter. Your card won't be charged unless she gets the support she needs, from family, friends, and anyone who thinks these bins are a good idea and is willing to be a "backer" for even $1. She needs our help!!!

Sand Hollow (again!)

Flora pushing Charity on the tube- she's our little daredevil and loves thrill. I could tell she was nervous, but she loved it!

 

Lincoln was busy building sand castles the entire time. We purchased some sand toys since we will be going to the lake a lot this summer. Plus... we have a trip to Cali planned for the end of June. Griffin (not pictured) was busy building the entire time, too. 

 

Zoomed in on these two floating in the "deep" water (5 feet or so). Parker and Lola. All the big kids (Lincoln, Parker, Flora, and Lola) swam out to the buoy and touched it- Lincoln touched "the slimy part!" Jesse and Nathan swam out there with them. Pretty far for little kids! Jesse said maybe 1/4 mile round trip. 

Oliver was having issues keeping his shorts up...

Counting to 10

This morning I went to get Charity out of her crib, and she just spouted off counting to 9 all by herself. What??! When did she learn that? I tried to reproduce it, which sort of worked...

Haircut!

 

After every shower Oliver wants his hair spiked. It was looking a bit ridiculous to spike lately... So I chopped it!

 

This little lady of mine...

 

She loves to pose for pictures. It's so cute! Plus I wanted to document this adorable swimsuit before retiring it to the "too small" pile. Okay.. I admit - I placed her hands on her hips in this picture! She was doing all sorts of weird things with her arms. And a pink bowl. She loves pink!

 

 

Sand Hollow Reservoir

We have a beach 30 minutes away! Our kids are old enough now I am not as anxious to bring them here and enjoy the giant sandbox. The kids (even Charity!) love it. Now we just need to coordinate with Uncle McKay who has the boat...! 🏄🏊🚣

And a question... What to do to get rid of the bucket of sand that accumulates in the van...? Is there a way to deal with it? My only idea so far involves the leaf blower... 💨🍂🍃

Season of the Splash Pad

 

 

These 2 boys could play here forever. I love how there are so many choices for splash pads here in southern Utah. They make the hot summers... more bearable. 😎😰

Worms, Dirt, and Mud

 

So funny! We made cups of dirt, mud, and worms (crushed oreo cookies, chocolate pudding, and gummy worms) and Charity absolutely loved the pudding. She discovered one of the worms... And this was her reaction:

This kid loves Zucchini!

 

We got our first zucchini of the season this week, and Griffin went nuts and didn't want to share with anyone! He is my veggie lover. He absolutely loves salad with strawberries on it, and calls it his "favorite salad".
