We'll start with the cutest first. Here are our princesses in their crowns - literally jumping around with excitement (a neighborhood craftie project):
Heather and Jason try out our clippers - a big hit and Heather did a great job. Josh - I swear you will look FINE! Let me cut your hairs!
Another picture - this car (which doesn't even roll or work even) is the BIGGEST hit of the backyard. It was $1 at a yard sale. Emma is going for a stroll here.
Birthday girl! We got lots of video -but only a few pics. But she LOVED the cake and now tells everyone "I am three older now!"
She is showing you her three fingers here in her birthday outfit of choice "my going to the temple dress."

Just a really cute picture of Ashley. She really loves to run outside and hang upside down on the swing set and jungle gym. (She had been eating cookies here -hence the chocolate-y mouth).
Here are our year passes to the aquarium in SLC. Ellie is ESTATIC that her picture is on one.

Josh and our great neighbor Ben, working to put the jungle gym together. (It turned out the dark green pieces were the 'light' pieces and the tan pieces were the 'dark' pieces, according to the directions, which wasn't explained until Josh got 3/4 of the way through the process).
Daddies changing bums: (when the Lewis' came to visit last last weekend).

Friday we mowed, weeded garden and flower beds, weed wacked, went for a 2.5 hour walk and played with Daddy after he woke up (after working for 18.5 hours in ONE day!). He pointed out he has gone from working 4- 10 hour days to working 5 -12+ hour days this summer. Ugh! The BAD news is that is has been raining so much - they might CANCEL the Flordia test - because it has been so 'humid' here. AHHA!! Our NONREFUNDABLE plane tickets! We are hoping it is too COLD for it to count - because it is hot AND humid places like Florida, North Korea, Afghanistan, etc. We will know on Monday for sure.
Saturday we hung out and played. It thunderstormed again. Sunday was our first ward choir practice, I subbed for the 5 year olds in Sunday School (not too bad, we did spent a lot of time hiding from the wicked King Noah's soldiers). It thunderstormed for like 3 hours this afternoon. Josh went off to work. The girls and I are going to watch an old musical. Happy Sunday!
