Rylee turns THREE!!

Is it possible my baby is THREE?! We seriously have every girl toy you could think of so I hunted around on KSL and brought home this beauty for her to play with! She was very excited about it!

 After playing in the yard in pjs for a while we went for breakfast birthday donuts!

 She is just too easy to please! And that smile!

 Sporting a cute new romper by the baby pink roses that have bloomed on her birthday every year since she was a baby.

 We had a little back yard party for her in the evening with g&g hymas and I did a little decorating for it.

 THREE!!!!!!!!

 Mollie was still at grandma reed's but we video chatted with her during the party.

We opened a few gifts!

 And just celebrated Rylee and played with her in the yard. It was a perfect quiet evening.

 The next day we had a pool party with friends and made cupcakes and hot dogs.

 Nan sporting the Trolls poppy hair that I made for the party.

 And our Rowley friends were there too along with Warners, Farris', and Eashs.

We love this little girl and her tender heart. She is such a bright spot in our family. Happy birthday sweet girl! We love you!!

Mollie's week with grandma

With Carter getting to go to basketball camp at grandma hymas' house, Mollie was feeling left out and wanting to spend some time at grandma reed's. So we made some arrangements and off she went to get spoiled TO DEATH at grandmas!

They played games and crafted every. single. day. She was in heaven. 

She was there over G&G Reeds anniversary so she got dressed up too and went with them to dinner!

 Silly kids.

 The splash pad was one of the days adventures and in true Mollie style, she had made friends there in no time.

 Grandma had fun too I think doing her pretty long hair! Too bad she wont sit still that long for me to get her hair done!

 They went to Wendy's one night with the gift card I sent with Mol in their anniversary card.

 And Mollie got to do a GRAND-father/grand daughter date for activity days that grandma is in charge of.

 I think they had lots of fun!

 I'm so grateful my kids have grandparents that they WANT to go spend time with and who treat them so good and make them feel special when they come to visit. I hope you know Carter and Mollie how special they are. I hope you will always make time for them in your lives. They will become some of your favorite people on this earth. Take it from your mom and dad who no longer have grandparents and know now how special they are!

Kick off to summer

We dropped the big kids off in Idaho with their grandparents for a week so we got to do some fun things with the little girls. A splash pad was a must!

 Yep, that's Bri getting soaking wet in the middle.

 And then there's Rylee...walking safely around the edges only getting her toes wet!

And a HUGE milestone for Rylee was a big poop in the potty!! This girl will only poop at night and so it was a big thing! (It's currently Oct as I'm writing this and she STILL wont poop in the potty! Only at night!) Please tell me this will end soon!!!!!!

Day Camp and New stools

Being in scouts has been really fun and even funner that I get to do it with Carter. Day camp is always a good time and our boys were really well behaved which makes all the difference!

Carter's favorite was of course shooting BB guns. I won't lie...it gave me some anxiety. 

 Later in the month I found myself a project! I am really happy with how they turned out!

One evening both kids were gone so we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant with the little girls. That is a very rare occurrence so we really enjoyed it! 

And Rylee was such a trickster! 

 And I don't remember what we were in idaho for seeing the Calls but this pic was too cute to leave out and can be used as leverage some day I'm sure!
