Flexibaby

I know all babies are flexible, but Kate moves her little legs and body in pretty crazy ways!  And she'll sit in positions like this for long periods of time...

I really hope this stays and pays off in her dancing career someday :)

Miss Kate

A few random pictures of baby girl.  I feel so fortunate to have my two buddies and this little princess!  She is an active, happy baby who is very curious about her surroundings!  She's a babbler and loves it when people give her attention and talk back to her.  She's never found in public without a bow :)  Love our little miss!

Ears Pierced

 At six months we pierced Katelyn's ears.  I love how they look!  After having two boys I definitely have gone all girl with this baby!  She is so fun to doll up...

 

Aunt Chels is the best and bought the gun and earrings to do it for us!  She worked at the Piercing Pagoda a long time ago and her skills came in handy!  Kate screamed for a minute but was quickly over it!  They haven't bugged her since!  I love having a baby girl:)

Cowboy pictures

Pam had family pictures taken in a cowboy theme this year.  Ideal for my two little buckaroos!  They turned out pretty cute! 

 Pam has had this vintage buggy for years and had Angel's pictures taken in it.  She pulled it out for us to snap a few pictures with the baby girls.  I love the one of Katelyn!

St George Girls Trip

 Had a great time with my sister in laws in St. George!  Melis is so great to let us stay in her family's condo for a few days!  This year it was all about the babies!  It was nice to just have one child with me for a few days!  We ate yummy food, watched movies, went shopping, played Ticket to Ride and talked!  My perfect idea of a trip.  Sadly I didn't take many pictures and the three I did were of the babies! 

Kate started to say "dada" (her first word) so we filmed her and sent it to McKay.  It was pretty cute :)

Fourth

We had another fabulous fourth of July.  Top three in the holiday department for me!  I love dressing the kids up in their red, white and blue!

Katelyn started to sit up by herself!  This was a great day as now she can play with toys while sitting without Mommy worrying about her being on her back too much!

Cutest baby cousins!  Sad that Jersey is leaving so soon for Texas!  They can become pen pals eventually!

 The fourth wouldn't be complete without playing on Grammy's waterslide!  We had a yummy dutch oven dinner and fireworks to cap it all off!  A great day spent with family we love!

Strawberry Days

We took our little cowboys and cowgirl to their first Strawberry Days rodeo...it didn't disappoint!  It was a beautiful summer evening and the boys LOVED it!  We had fun with the McArthurs and Brent and Jill!

Every time we drive past the rodeo grounds they ask when we're going again!  Next year for sure boys!

Celine Dion

For an early birthday present, my Mom treated me to a night in Vegas to see Celine Dion.  My grandparents also came with us and we had a fabulous time!  She is one talented lady!  So grateful I had the opportunity to go and spend time with my lovely Mom and awesome Grandparents! 

Marry me...

I love Train's song "Marry Me".  So glad Jack and Rach used it on their wedding video:)  This was such a beautiful day for these two.  So happy it was.  They deserve it...

President Uchtdorf married them and did a great job.  Racheal's Mom knows him and asked if he would do it for them.  A fun memory as part of their day!  One part of the sealing I loved was that he said to create your own legacy as a couple.  Appreciate the generations who have paved the way for you, but focus on what you will do together to create a beautiful legacy for your posterity.  Good advice for everyone there!

Classic Jack expression as they came out of the temple.  Rach looked stunning!

 Hugs for sis.  It was sad not to have her with us to make the room complete.  We know someday in the near future it will happen for her too!  

 Loves for Uncle Jack!

And Aunt Rach!

 

 Oh how I love this girl...she is one amazing sister.  We are excited to add another girl in the mix too!

 The beautiful couple!

 Racheal's parents Cecil and Yvonne.  Great people...

 My photo like this outside of the temple was much smaller :)  Adding three kids and another spouse fills it in nicely!

 

 I love going to the Salt Lake temple.  It's where McKay and I were married...and now we have a new generation to send there someday!

 The view from the luncheon room at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.  Such a great event!

 Their reception was BEAUTIFUL!  They had it at Thanksgiving Point and it was perfect.

I love going to weddings with McKay.  Such a great reminder of the love I have for him!  I'm glad he agreed to marry me "today and everyday"

Mr. Chayce wasn't feeling well so he got sent home with baby Kate and Dad while Mom and Peyt stayed to party

 

 Jack and his buddies recreated a moment from 9th grade by singing Westlife's "Swear it Again".  They did a pretty great job!  Jack has some mad singing skills!

 Party Rockin Peyt.  He grooved on the dance floor the whole 45 minutes!  

 Love my family so much...so amazing to spend beautiful days like this together.  I wish Jack and Racheal all the happiness in the world and look forward to having them as a couple in our family.  We love you so much!
