Happy Fathers Day! and such...

 After music theater we had the joy of watching baby Elsie! Cristal had decided to come and stay for a few weeks. Of course Rachael put her to work to help pay for her trip.  So Elsie hung out with us for a few days. She also visited grandma:)

 There was some movie watching to avoid the heat.

 ANd snuggling by the pool.
 Father's Day was Sunday and we had decided to take Dad out for dinner.
It happened that the day that worked was also Katt's Birthday.

Katt is obsessed with mustaches and I had seen how to make a mustache cake on pinterest...

There were some technical difficulties, like the powdered sugar falling on my head.... I was sticky!!!
 But here is the finished product. I think it turned out AWESOME!!!
 We had a photo to document the occasion.

Our Dad sure is great and I hope he knows how much we LOVE him!!! We are so blessed to have his influence in our lives.
 KAtt getting sung to... She may have been hysterical.
 Elsie learned to sit while she was here. And then moved on to sitting in a cart. She was so proud of herself and is showing off not holding on at all in this picture.
  But of course all good things must come to an end and Cristal and Elsie went back to Utah:(
My family sure had fun with them though. WE just love babies here at the White house.

Summer in full swing

 We snuggled babies. This is baby Gracin.
 Ashlynn and Sienna did swim team. Gunner participated in water polo.
 Music theater began!! The highlight of the summer.
 Rigdon was left all alone with me in the afternoons. We went on a search for newsies hats. We hit the jackpot at Walmart. $4.00!

 Time for pirates!
 Lunch with the sisters And my mom:)

 Cristal and baby Elsie came back!!! YAy!! I had Porter and Elsie for a bit.
 Getting ready for the show!
 So thrilling to get to wear makeup!

 Ashlynn and her bestie Kenzie. Love these girls.
 The battery on the camera died early on. Poor planning. My children were devastated.

 Ice cream after the show fixes anything. We met Amy and Allen Petersen at Dairy Queen.

 Then Gunner headed off to scout camp! Wow. I'm feeling tired, I thought summer was supposed to be relaxing.




I found some better pictures of music theater! 
Enjoy!










Sienna's Baptism

 June 8th Sienna became the newest member of the church in our family!

She is such a sweet girl and has been looking forward to this day since she turned 7! So the anticipation has had a year to build.







 Congratulations Sienna! The first member of our family to be baptized by the bishop:)

It was a wonderful day and hopefully one that she will always remember.
