Arches and Canyonlands adventure

We spent a day going around Arches and Canyonlands National Parks.

It was HOT, HOT, HOT but it was very fun.

Thanks everyone for the fun memories!!!

How do you go from the above....

to this?

MY LOVE!!!

This is what it looks like trying to get a family picture.

Canyonlands

Just SPECTACULAR views! Loved it!!

It was such a fun trip, thanks to G & G for making it happen and everyone else who came!!

The first day of the camping trip...

Before the big camping trip we got to spend the first night with g & g in their new trailer.

That spoiled me!!!

Seriously, does she ever not color. You should see the stack of coloring books and coloring pages we have, I just can't part with them.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do with all their artwork???

She finds the strangest positions!

Grandpa and Josh went on a hike, Grandma and the girls went for a little hike while I got to nap. I know...lame but I must justify with the fact that I didn't get much sleep and I was exhausted!

I'm the lamest person to go camping with, sorry everyone!!!

I'm working on it.

More of our Utah trip...

Tuesday we had a fun day of play.

Grandma got this parachute game out and they loved it.

Oh, she got it this time.

Ayva's collection in the backyard.

Baking cookies with Grandma.

You can always find Ayva doing this, her favorite thing to do.

Cheyenne enjoyed the cookies.

What a cute bunch of kids.

Jack got to taste the cookies as well.

Waiting to go to the park.

Ahh, a sweet sight for any child!

After the park we visited with Great Grandma & Grandpa Bradshaw.

Just a sweet picture.

Again, you can always find her coloring something!

Finally, the Utah trip

Sorry blog, I've been away for a while!!!

So our Utah trip was back in May and beginning of June. When we arrived at G & G's house we dropped off the girls and Josh and I were able to spend the night and next day together for our 5th year anniversary. It was lovely waking up to peace and quiet, although I missed them tons!

We had a full week of fun! Here are the girls playing with cousin Jack.

We also went to the Olsen's for a picnic then off to the pool.

Aren't they so cute?

That was the coolest pool we've been too! Thanks Olsen's!!!

I think we wore them out!!!

Still more days of fun to come!!!

We have a new cousin/nephew

Meet REESE ISAAC OLSEN...

He was born on July 7 at 10:15 p.m.. He was 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 19 inches long.

We're so glad you're here and can't wait to meet you!!

Book of Mormon Stories

Their new favorite thing to do is sing the "Book of Mormon Stories" song.

Cheyenne's Version

She sings this all the time.

She also sings the "Hello" song and it goes like this...

"Hello, Hello we welcome you to yous class"

Ayva's Version

Ayva loves singing, she's even mentioned that she wants to take a "singing class."

She also loves "Follow the Prophet" , the one she calls "the one that grandma sings" (I can't remember the name of it). Anyways, she loves listening to all the songs on the Children's Songbook CD now!

Josh's New Toy

Although the girls think it's their truck.
