Cookies and Cousins

 Not sure which is sweeter.......

cousins or cookies! 

Learning to Ride Bikes

Matt and I spent quite a few hours running behind

 the kids helping them to learn to ride their bikes! 

they got really good at it -

I'm sure the super hero capes helped! 

Trip to Hogle Zoo

Anne's sisters joined us on a trip to Hgle Zoo. 

 Here Michael is trying to cool off by hanging out by a huge fan! 

 The kids were looking at the animals, 

while I was looking at the adorable kids! 

 A thorn among roses?

Michael is not used to being the only boy around.

It is usually the other way around! 

 We loved the merry-go-round! 

 Danielle got some great shots! 

She is a good photographer! 

 Matt joined us at the end of the day.

 Kids.....or birds? 

Chickens at the Rains Cabin!

We went to visit Brian and Marla Rains in Liberty, Utah.

Michael and Aislinn had a blast with their chickens!

 It was fun to have Danielle with us as well! 

Michael  and Aislinn LOVED finding

 warm brown eggs in the chicken coop! 

Swimming in the Backyard

Matt and Melia went to Texas for a conference that Melia needed to attend.

Michael and Aislinn stayed with us for 10 days! 

We bought a pool for the backyard to help us stay cool! 

Caalie and Aliyah played with us quite a bit!
