It finally feels like Summer!

We went down to St. George for the Memorial weekend. Josh had to stay home and work. It was his turn to take a Holiday shift. I was free as always so my mom and I went down early and stayed a whole week. Later Jensen and my dad joined and then Olivia and Will! We spent my birthday going on a little hike. Lu decided she hated the hiking backpack so there we were. Carrying two children got exhausting quick.

This picture is priceless. Luella's red cheeks, tears, and my dads hat! ha so many things wrong.

A few weeks prior to this I put this puddle jumper life jacket on Luella for the first time. She had a complete meltdown and wanted nothing to do with it. She didn't even want to go in the water. This time we tried it again and she LOVED IT. She picked it up so fast.  I was shocked. She is a natural water baby! I couldn't get her out. 

Took a 5 minute break for a much deserved treat...

Always wants to be with Papa...

Our idea of an afternoon snack! 

This little rat found out how to get out of the backyard gate. She was pretty proud of herself.

I decided to let her just go for it. Ruined her outfit but she didn't seem to care. She clearly loved it!
By the way if you can't tell this is Arctic Circle; my dads favorite place to eat. I hadn't been there since I was 8 years old. I went and was reminded why I am never going back. So disappointed in you dad...Mcdonalds cheeseburgers blow theirs out of the water. 

I need to frame this picture!

Im sad this picture is blurry. Lu kept following Josh while he mowed the lawn. He ended up carrying her the whole time while mowing. #spoiled

I love when I walk in and find her like this...she loves her books

Decided to do a swim day with my sisters. Luella spent most of the time jumping on the tramp.

Blowing kisses

Our friends Craig and Karrie just had another baby. Luella kept reaching to hold him. Guess she knows she needs to get her practice in. 

She was all for petting the horse until he tried eating her treats and bow in her hair!

My friend and I decided to try out a Mommy work out class. It was their kick off event and was actually a lot of fun. Luella wasn't quite sure what was going on but seemed to enjoy herself. 

We went on a little lunch date to Zupas. This was her first time not in a booster seat; she is growing up so fast. She thinks she's old enough to even show a little skin with that shoulder action she's got going on!
