this little girl turns four

This sweet, sassy, intense girl turned four this year! I can't believe it. She keeps us laughing and on our toes all the time! She got cowgirl boots and a hat this year so she had to show them off!
We had a family celebration for Ryan and Katelyn
That colorful frosting was just too irresistable. While we were outside, a particular little, sampled her cake early. Never was there a guiltier face. 
It takes a lot of concentration for her to show 4 fingers!! It's super cute.
Enjoying the cake once it became legal to eat it.
Nan and Grandma having fun with Cambree during the party
Doug and Marc...what do I say? They love the smell of leather. 
This is as good a picture as I could get of all the cousins...
I wish I would have used my good camera for these shots. They are so blurry!!!
Nan C made a card for Katelyn and they were both pretty excited about it!
She got an umbrella just like Allie!
And a movie!!
And headbands...that she is kissing.
We went to Pojo's. This picture was for Grammy June who LOVES snoopy!
I'd say she is one happy go lucky 4 year old that is well LOVED!! xoxo

Zoo + Wedding

I took my first trip solo with the kids. Surprisingly it went really well! They traveled great. We didn't get a lot of sleep but it was pretty good. 

We drove to Hogle Zoo and met up with my parents, Lisa and her kiddos. I love that place and it has been years and years since I've been there. Red Robin followed which was fab.
Sweet cousin BFFs!
Just a tad bit happy!
I then drove to Layton to stay with my friend Briana. We both have 3 girls all the same ages and so they had a blast playing together on Saturday while we caught up with life. The reason for the trip was Julia's wedding reception!! We dressed up and met Lyndsay and Tyler for dinner and then went on to the reception. She looked beautiful and so very happy!! The girls were in heaven dancing all night and we watched the cute couple all night. So glad I could go and support her and see her since they are living in AZ now.

Allie and Libby were instant friends
Our girls oldest to youngest! Not the best picture but it's pretty amazing to see them all together!
 
Lynds and Bri: Love, love, love them!
Julia throwing her bouquet!! She has caught her fair share of bouquets...never again! :):)
Mr. and Mrs. Halls!

Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe Allie is already done with Kindergarten. I blinked and it happened. She loved every minute of school, especially her teacher, Mrs. Beaudry and all of her friends. She is very social. Her reading and writing have improved and she is doing awesome in math...so ready for first grade! Her teacher was sick on the last day of school (so sad) so we didn't get any pictures of her! We'll have to stop by on the first day next year and get one with her!
Getting her diploma from the principal
Her friend Gavin (that I think she had a crush on)

"Coyote Quiet"
Everyone's parents had flowers or candy necklaces etc. for them and then here we are with nothing. Allie asked us so sweetly, "Do I have anything?" Well Allie, we get snowcones on the last day of Kindergarten!! That made her pretty happy :)
One of her best friends, Eli, was in her class but he was gone before we could get a picture with him. Luckily he lives down the street and we got one with him and his siblings later.
