Summer Re-Cap!

So to hit the major highlights of our summer.... :)


May 22 & 24: Moving weekend! The before & after pictures of our Uhaul (which Jared pretty much single-handedly loaded himself... with the "help" of 4 excited little munchkins & a not-so-strong wife!)













May 26: Brielle's Kindergarten Graduation! (Also the day we actually left from Albuquerque - right afterwards...) What a good job she did in her first year of school! She's a good girl!

June 5: Athena's Bridal Shower! Such an exciting month with my sister engaged and getting married!!

June 7: Timothy's first time going swimming! Boy does this guy LOVE the water!! He was very excited...




June 20: Father's Day & a picture in our new house!


June 26: My twin sister, Athena's Wedding Day!!! Brennon & Athena Jones - married in the Mesa, Temple! So very very happy & thankful for this day!!
.

July 3: Our 4th of July Picnic at Roper Lake
.
.
.
July 16: Swimming Lessons! These guys actually really learned how to swim this year! What an exciting thought!
.
.
.
July 20: Our family's first experience w/ one of the kids getting stitches... Poor little Colette fell trying to get down off a chair at the table & hit the side of her head (right next to her eye) on the edge of the table, splitting the skin right open... She was SO amazingly brave getting the stitches done!! She listened to everything the doctor said to her & followed his instructions exactly - didn't even cry! We were so proud of her! (She was a little overly excited about the many stickers she was given there in the hospital & the coloring book as well!)
.

July 25: The one in the family who changes the most right now! Timothy (10 months old) being a good sport about getting dressed up... (The 2nd picture shows his true opinion of the hat)...
.
.
.
August 4: Colette's 3rd Birthday! It never ceases to amaze me at how fast they are each growing up! Can't believe we have another 3-year-old in the house now... Still our little miss priss as always! Her favorite present this year was a "beauty" set w/ toy curling irons, brushes, perfume, & a blow dryer - she and Brielle played "beauty shop" all day! She chose a dog cake this year, and we made it as girly & prissy as we could! She loved it!

August 11 & 12: Brielle's first few days of school! Starting 1st grade... She is loving it so far!

Awesome update! I really am sorry for sneaking in on you that day... but it was SO fun to see you! I love all the pics and I'm SO glad you posted some pics from Athena's wedding, she is so gorgeous. Please tell her I said hi and I totally would have tried to get to her wedding reception but I'm pretty sure it was when I was having a baby. Your kids sure are cutie's! Glad you had such a fun (crazy) summer.
