Reunited!

This week, my college roommates reunited for a little bit of fun! KJ is visiting from Omaha, and we were thrilled to see her! We met at a park in Lehi for a Play Date. The kids got along great, and Bella left calling KJ's girls her "bess friends." She kept telling me that "they're just my size!!!"

Linz and Izzy (Haley's girl)
Kjersta and her kids - Grey, Ruby and Lily
These girls are ADORABLE!!! I just WISH we lived closer!


My Girls! Linz, Haley, Christina, Me and Kjersta
Then, a couple days later, KJ brought her girls down for a little swimming.
I had to throw this one in because Thomas is picking his nose! Gotta love the things caught on camera! :)
These girls are going to be roommates someday!!! They look alot alike to me too. They all have this gorgeous blonde highlighted hair, and cute blue eyes!

They act like they've known each other forever! Chatting and holding hands, giving hugs and being girls! So fun!



Thanks for coming to play! We can't wait for next time!!!!

No more ear infections for Sophie!

Monday this week, Sophie had tubes put in her ears. She did so good! I just love the way she looks in her little gown!



The only downside of getting tubes put in the ears, is the crying the whole way home. We had it done at the American Fork hospital, so it was a LONG drive home. Poor Soph! She is doing MUCH better now, and seems to be back to her self!

Sunday At Coxes

I had the kids wear their orange outfits to church on Sunday, so while we were up with Josh's family, I snapped a few pictures of these babies!



My FAVORITE!!! Love these babes!
The kids jumped on the tramp.

The babies love swinging in the swings!

My BIGGEST helper, Kaley.
I had to stuff them both in the swing. I don't think they will both fit for very much longer!

Look at those thighs hanging out!

Ward Party Day!

Saturday was the Primary Parade. I took the big kids, and Josh stayed home with the sleeping babies. Bella did really well on the ride over to the Start spot, and then was tuckered out for the rest of the actual parade part. I ended up giving her a ride on her scooter. She is such a funny girl!

Um, yeah. This picture was taken during the prayer. I had NO idea they had already started!
We had otterpops at the end! It was a good thing too, because it was HOT!
Thomas was THRILLED that I let him wear his cowboy hat! Hey, it gives good shade!
Anna and Kaley - These two are darling friends!
My red, white and blue kids!

Hair Cuts
After the parade, it was time for a haircut! I slicked Thomas' hair back and told him he looked like Pop Pop. I think he was less than impressed. :)

Jace had his first hair cut too! (Sophie did as well the next day, but I didn't take any pictures of it! I did remember to save a few locks of hair though.)


Ward Swim Party
Jace and Sophie during dinner. They love their little puffs! They also tried some baked beans and loved them!


After dinner, we played over at the pool! We had fun playing with the water squirters!

Love this one of sweet Jace

Bella made quick friends with a sister in our ward.
I love Jace's face in this one! He is so happy to be playing in the water!




My boys squirting each other.



Jace and Josh getting dumped on.
Dad and the babes running thru the rainbow!

What.?! All 5 kids looking?! Miracle.

Jace makes this "special" face all the time. He is such a silly kid!
Swimming...



Time for a bottle.
Getting warm
I love that our stroller seats recline. I love to see these little eyes staring at me while she eats. So sleepy!

We had to play on the slide too! Josh and Thomas

Kaley all by herself

Daddy and Bella



Mommy and Bella waiting for our turn.



Clearly, we were VERY excited to be water-sliding. :) We had such a fun time! We are so lucky to have such a good ward and great neighbors!
