One of our latest outings up Blacksmith Fork Canyon. The girls are champion hikers and love to be outdoors. Sam is one of the best marshmallow roasters ever! She has only caught her mallow on fire once that I can recall. 
The gals on July 4th at my grandparents. Rees is with my Grandpa Dale who is going to be 91 in August. Love them. The girls have been super busy with swim lessons and lots of outside play time, trips to the pool, and going to bed super late every night. Sam's dream come true. 
Rees is now one. Man how time flies. She is one of the happiest kids I know. She has 4 little teeth, super curly hair, and has finally really started to walk. She has been able to stand and take a few steps for a while now, but who cares about really walking when your sisters will tote you around? But she has finally taken the plunge and will walk pretty well once she pulls herself up. She blows lots of kisses, loves to dance, and clap, and can throw down as much food as the girls at a meal. And she loves her dad-the kid about jumps out of her skin when he comes home from work. She just can't contain her excitement.
The big dog has been running his little guts out. A bunch of his coworkers put together a Ragnar team at work and he has had a blast running. He did really well at the race. We are sure proud of him. He has been scouting it up as usual, biking, and doing my bidding in the yard-bless his heart.
As for me, I am just trying to keep up with it all! The garden, the yard, the kids' activities. And my kids aren't even that old yet! Plus, we are having another baby in January. Yay. Number 4 here we come. Don't know the flavor yet, but we will be super happy whatever we get! We are just so excited!
