Summer Nights in Utah


My mom helped my sister Allison move to Denver last week and stayed with us until Monday. As she was packing Sunday night around 10pm to come back to Utah I said, "What if I just came with you and flew back to Denver in a week and a half??" for the next hour and a half we looked up plane tickets and I decided to come with the kids! We left around 10am on Monday morning and arrived in Morgan at 7pm. Not too bad with 4 kids ages 7, 5, 3, and 19 months!! Since the trip for the kids and I was last minute, we decided to try and surprise my dad and two other sisters at home. 20 minutes into our drive my mom gets a text from my dad saying, "Ummm I think Mollie is hitching a ride on your back bumper..." he was totally stalking my mom using the Life360 app and caught us red handed. We still surprised my two other sisters and that was still fun ;) 

Yesterday was so hot and I was trying to keep the big girls outside to play... but they kept coming in complaining of no shade haha. So, I told them that if they ate their lunch good we could turn on the sprinklers! For me, this is my childhood. Especially putting the hose under the trampoline! The kids played outside running through the sprinklers and playing with friends for 6 hours. Summer is definitely in the air and I love it. Having Cam and Berks (my 7 and 5 year old sisters) as constant play companions and baaasically older sisters has been so great for Emma.

Cam and Berks started cheer camp this week! That is new for our family... no one has ever done cheer before! They were practicing their new moves and trying to strengthen their arms!

Looking up how to correctly do a handstand on youtube haha




"strengthening" her arms















His lips. I die.




"NO MORE PICTURES MAMA!!!"


Emma has her foot on the sprinkler and lures William. She lifts her foot off so it sprays him in the face. He LOVED it.
