August 2011

Oh August.... this was one crazy month. For some reason I have no clue what happened to the first day of school pictures of the kids. Logan started 2nd grade and Raylie is in her second year of Preschool. She started out just in Watch Me Grow but was wanting more. So luckily we qualified for free preschool with the school district so she got in there. She is sooo ready for kindergarten. If I ever find them, I will post them. One day we were just having some fun with the camera.

One of the NOT fun days in August was hearing that my older sister Desirae was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. This took our whole family by surprise! For a couple reasons: 1. There is/was NO family history. 2. She was only 33, that is WAY to young.

I wanted to do something for her but not sure what. So I turned to crocheting. I made this lap blanket for her and a couple hats (which I never got pictures of before I sent them her way).

One of the days we went to Virgin and let the kids play in this little petting zoo. Luke LOVES animals and I do not. He had no fear of any of them.

Raylie and Luke play LOTS of dress-ups. Somedays she makes him a princess and others a pirate...so he is well rounded.

We put the boys in the same room and Raylie got her own....which she hates being by herself. I keep telling her that someday she will LOVE having her own room.

This face gets into A LOT of trouble. He is constantly going and into EVERYTHING. But he is a SWEET, Tenderhearted little boy. Love my Squish.

Summer 2011

Okay so in attempts to get caught up on blogging because I am so far behind there will be little words and lots of collages of pictures. Pictures are the funnest though so I am not concerned.

For Memorial Day this year we stayed here and Jeannie and Michelle came up. We visited the graves of Grandma and Grandpa Gibson in the St. George cemetery. Grandma and Grandpa Isom in the Hurricane cemetery. We also made a little trip to Grafton. On Josh's mom's side there were family members buried there.


My whole family was able to get together. We had a lot of fun being together at Quail Lake, Anti-Gravity, Tuachan and swimming at our pool. It was fun to be able to get a new family picture....even though in a few months it will be missing 2 new ones.

Grandma and Grandpa got time to spend with all these crazy kiddos and by this time Luke was DONE getting pictures, Sam was not wanting to hear Luke and Haiven was taking in the scenery.

Thought I would try to get one of my kids but 1/3 of them was not willing to smile and be happy for the picture.

Playing at one of the many water parks with family.

Being out in the sun means putting on LOTS of Sunblock....Luke tried to help himself with that one.

You can't have a summer in St. George and NOT go to Red Cliffs a few times.

Whats a summer without a few sleepovers with cousins, playing hide and seek, playing with hair and just being goofy.

Making one of our every 6 months up north to visit the eye doctor to check Logans' eye. This time the cataract had grown back! So he had to do a mini laser eye surgery to break up the cataract. The laser actually put a hole in the back of the capsule to keep it from returning. So since we were right close by Hogle Zoo we decided after it was done we could go see Zoorasic Park.

Last but not least doing a little photo shoot with this "agorgeous" face!
