July 2016

July was good to us with lots of fun summer activities!  
Image
Mari and Rafael got sealed in the Provo City Temple.  We are so happy for them.  
Image
These twins love their horsey 
Image
Image
I love this!  
Image
Zachy in Uncle Shane's foam pit.  
Image
Photo bombed by dad 
Image
Landon loved the foam pit.  
Image
Image
The babies looking like older kids with Hudson, Shasha and Zander. 
Image
Zach loves to be by Zander.  
Image
Cuties at church. 
Image
Image
Holding hands 
Image
Image
Image
Image
Pure joy as daddy pushes him.  
Image
Lance and I at the 4th of July parade in Mount Pleasant.  
Image
Zander wasn't with us this 4th of July, but we had a lot of fun playing with the twiners.  Mari, Rafael, Dallas, Sarah, Brian and Amy all came down later that day.  We had a ton of fun making lunch together and going to the little activities at the park.  Too bad I forgot to get a picture.  
Image
Cute babies waiting for our walk.  They get so excited when they see the stroller.  
Image
Bath time 
Image
Image
Image
Image
These two love to play with the books.  They still get pretty distracted when I read to them, but hopefully soon they'll have a longer attention span.  
Image
Image
Landon learning about what Uncle Timmy does all day.  
Image
Image
Always chatting with each other.  
Image
Garden growing along.  This was right before the bugs got to it and destroyed it.  Lame!  It was fun while it lasted.  
Image
Where'd your sock go Zachy?!  
Image
Darling little boys sitting patiently at Lagoon.  We decided to have a staycation since Jessi moved from Cali this summer and California just wouldn't be the same without them. Our staycation included Lagoon and Hogle Zoo.  We had a blast!  
Image
Zander and I on a ride. 
Image
Funny faces 
Image
Dad and Zander 
Image
Image
Me relaxing with the boys while Lance and Zander went on some run rides.  
Image
Zander loved the go carts.  
Image
The boys saw some ducks and thought they were pretty cool.  
Image
Zachy's little model pose.  
Image
Zander and I loved this ride!
Image
All zonked out! 
Image
Lagoon has a fun water park.  The babies felt so/so about it. Haha!  
Image
Fussy boys
Image
Nice after swim hair dos.  
Image
Happy boys!
Image
Image
This was one of our favorites!!  
Image
Zander took over with the babies so Lance and I could go on a ride together.  It was so fun to be on a ride with just him.  It's crazy how hard it is to find couple time when you have younger kids.  
Image
Zander was reluctantly taken on this ride by his father but decided he loved it!  
Image
Almost as big as the smallest bear.  
Image
Cute little Landy Lou 
Image
My little Zachy Chase 
Image
Zander practicing to be a meerkat.  
Image
Haha!  
Image
We love the Hogle Zoo!  It was a hot day and we were still a little pooped from going to Lagoon the day before but we had fun.  Maybe next year we'll plan the big activities with some down days In between.  
Image
Image
My favorite picture of Zachy.  I love you, baby! 
Image
Oh no!!  This little monkey got into the snacks.  
Image
Water time.  We love having a patio and being able to play out there in the summer time.  
Image
The twins turned 11 months in July!!  
Image
Image
Image
Image
Oh how I love this sweet little boy.  
Image
A little excited to be going to the rodeo.  
Image
It was just the three of us!  It was awesome to spend time with just Zander.  Just like old times.  
Image
Little dude got into the tissues.  
Image
But he's still so dang cute!!
Image
The invitation for the twins' first birthday party! I love how it turned out.  I ordered it off Etsy and plugged in all our information and attached this darling picture of the boys.  
Image
This is how Zachary decided to sit in the cart at Walmart.  Silly boy. 
Image
They are so much fun to take places.  A ton of work, but so much fun!  
Image
One evening the twins and I set out on a walk with a few dark clouds overhead, but thought we'd be okay.  Well only about 5 minutes later we had a downpour!!  I was trying to make it to the pharmacy that's about 10 minutes from our house.  I knew there was a liklihood it was already closed but I thought it was worth a try.  Well, we made it to the pharmacy to discover it was closed and then it really started coming down, so we stayed there for about 10 minutes hoping it would pass.  Good thing it had a covered little entry way that kept us safe from the crazy rain storm.  We darted home after the worst was over and we're able to avoid getting soaked.  
Image
Playing in the sand at the park.  
Image
Image
Image
Oh mister Zachary 
Image
Sink bath for the boys.  It's rather crazy trying to bathe them in the sink (or anywhere really) because they grab for everything.  But they really seem to like playing in the sink since they can play with the faucet and control the water.  
Image
Zachy on the horse. 
Image
Image
Daddy has taken the babies on a few bike rides in their new baby trailer.  They look so big!  
Image
Landon and mommy snuggles 
Image
Mr. Cool 
Image
Image
This was so funny-Zach had two toys in either hand when I put him in his highchair and he would not let go-meaning this was the only way he could eat his food!  It was so cute!  These boys make me so happy.  
Image
July was full of party planning!  I got these for the photo booth and they ended up being a hit!  
Image
Daddy ran into Lowes and we were left to play in the car.  Little man decided he was old enough to drive.  
Image
Having a snack at the park on Pioneer Day.  We went down to Utah County to go to the Brown's cul de sac of fire.  It was so fun to see everyone.  
Image
Landon what's on your head baby?!  I guess that's where he likes to store his bread.  
Image
Image
My view as I was getting ready one morning.  Usually they're all over the bathroom and bedroom and the majority of my time is spent redirecting them.  
Image
Haircut time!!  Zachy was not liking it.  
Image
Image
Image
Landon's before picture.  They're hair has gotten pretty wild.  But oh so cute!  
Image
Landon was feeling it a little more than Zachy.  
Image
Such a funny picture.  
Image
Image
Image
I order these shirts off of Etsy and how I love them!!  They are the cutest!! 
Image
New gate!  These two need to be confined.  They are in to EVERYTHING!  
Image
We put up the swings!  The babies really like them as evident by the smiles.  
Image
Image
Besties after a bath

Image
I was able to complete another class in July!  I'm loving this masters program!!  Go to WGU-you won't regret it.  
Image
Zachy with a baby picture of Marty for comparison.  Can you see it?!  
Image
Landon and Uncle MarMar 
Image
The girls!!!!  Maddie and Amanda came down for a few days and it was such a BLAST!!!!!!  They are the sweetest, kindest, most loving girls.  They just adore my children and it makes me so happy.  It's such a blessing to me.  Their trip down was definitely the highlight of the summer. Seeing them drive away was so hard.  I need to live by family.  
Image
Here we are at the Manti pool.  We went there one of their days here and had a lot of fun.  Doesn't Zachy look cute in mommy's hat?!  
Image
Landon's got mommy's sunnies.  
Image
Ah little cowboy.  
Image
These girls are the best.  So helpful.  
Image
The boys love the fountains.  
Image
Tim and Dawn were driving through and stopped for a while to visit.  It was fun!  
Image
Image
My girls. 
Image
Me and Mandy 
Image
I miss them so much.  
Image
Prettied up my sink.  Makes doing dishes a bit easier.  
Image
My kitchen helpers.  How did I ever get anything done without them?!  Wink wink 
Image
Landon found the remote, managed to turn the tv on, and here you can see him and Zachy are pretty happy about it.  
Image
We had family pictures taken and created a gallery for the living room.
