Summer Catch Up...

So much to blog so little time to do it all. So I'm posting a little about our summer all rolled into one post :) Of course with lots of pictures.

1st off we've been busy getting to know this little one. She's a really good baby. I'm not sure how I got lucky 2 times in a row.

I mean, what's not to love? Honestly.

We've been laughing our heads off with the things Romeo says. I'll definitely be blogging some of his stories soon!!


My little sis got married last month :)
She also moved to Arizona :(

She looked gorgeous, everything was perfect and we're so excited to have George in the family.


This was her wedding cake. My other sister Gentry made it. She's amazing!! She just started doing cakes earlier this year and gets better with every one. I'm forcing her to start a blog of her cakes for the whole world to see. I'll send a link once she does.

Speaking of loved ones and cakes Gentry did... This is ma favourite grand-mere!!!! She turned 80 this year. It meant a lot to us to celebrate. So we did.


Family picture :)




We decided to bless this beautiful girl while we still had some family in town for the wedding.

My mom and Aunt Pam made her dress and I LOVED it. Thanks you guys so much.



We blessed Paisley at the same time as another cutie born 2 days before her; my niece Kylie.


Todd gave her a beautiful blessing. I'm so grateful he is able to do it and that it means so much to him. My kids seriously have the best dad they could ever ask for!!


This is the cutest old man you'll ever meet in your life!! He's my Grandpa Dabling. I really enjoyed spending time with him while he was here and was so grateful he made the trip down.

He took us to his old stoppin' grounds where he grew up in Salt Lake City. Right near Trolley Square. It was fun to hear his stories. He even took us to see fun things like the natural artesian well in the middle of the city. Who knew? It was one of his chores as a kid to go fill up the water jugs.


We also made a couple trips to the cemetery to visit my other Grandpa.


My boys. I love this picture!!!

We've had some incredible weather too! There was a very loud early morning thunder storm. The lightning was so close! It actually struck a house in our neighborhood. Around 4:45am, Rome climbed into our bed a little nervous. So I opened up the blinds and we woke up Todd (he can sleep through anything) to watch the show. Roman loved it once we were all fully awake. It was intense and lots of fun. I almost popped some popcorn and would've if it weren't 5 in the morning :)



We watched lots of fireworks...


went camping in the back yard...
(We would've loved to have gone somewhere but it makes it a little hard to camp with new baby.)

Went 4 wheeling with my family...



And of course, so far, we've spent tons of time playing softball and watching baseball. (or as much as you can watch with a 2 year old)


When I saw this little outfit I had to get it. No better outfit to wear to the Owlz Games since they're affiliates of the Angels. That and the Angels Rock! It has a hat too but it's too big for her head.


And celebrated Todd's b-day!! Isn't my husband sexy?

Ok the 2nd picture-the one of Paisley and her tongue-is the cutest! And Chelsea looks so slim in her wedding dress, I hope she reads this comment. Camping in the backyard? Gary and I HAVE to do that...as soon as we get a fence, which might be awhile.

PAISLEY IS THE CUTEST THING!!! I LOVE her smile! I have a theory that those who keep having easy babies keep having babies...so you may end up with 12 or so :)

it's funny because i was reading about the lightning storm and Dave, Cruise and I did the SAME EXACT thing. It was so much fun!

I love your cute family!
