Pumpkins, Party, and Soccer

Some days are spent at home, all day. And others days we home for just a few minutes! Yesterday was one of those days! We picked a pumpkin from great grandpa Ottley's patch, had a birthday party for cousin Brigham, and watched cousins Ethan, Emily, and Dallin play soccer! It was a fun day!

A few summer pics

So our 'new' computer was having issues uploading our pictures and Steven just fixed it, so these pics are from some of our summer adventures! We went camping and played lots with cousins. We jumped on the trampoline, and played in the pool! We had a great summer and can hardly wait until next summer, with 2 toddling girls! Enjoy!

Conference

I just wanted to make a quit little post about this past conference. I love hearing from our current prophet and apostles. I felt a strong desire to be more faithful in my personal scripture study and there seemed to be this overwhelming feeling of "it's okay, just try and do better". I'm grateful for personal revelation and the true gospel in my life.

My girls!

I just love these two little girls!

Sunday Afternoon...

This last Sunday afternoon was filled with bottle feeding and bike riding. I asked Kate to 'talk' to her sister as it was getting near feeding time and I was finishing up dinner, so Kate dutifully went over to Ellen, and the fussing quit. I looked up and to my amazement and surprise, Kate had gotten the bottle off of the counter and stuck it in Ellen's mouth! Ha Ha! It was so cute, and she only wanted to continue feeding her sister! How sweet these two are! 

Then we went on a family walk, and Kate got to practice riding her bike! She is doing so well and is mastering balance! It's fun to see her learn and grow! Good job little girl!

Birthdays, Showers, and Peach Cobbler!

I'm a little behind, but I really wanted to get these pics up! Summer is a busy time, even if you don't have big plans! We were able to enjoy some yummy cake and ice cream with grandma wood for her 91st birthday. We sure love you Grandma! We also had Auntie Julie's birthday and had some pretty good cheesecake!

 My best friend is getting married in August! Hooray! (We love you Brian) It was so fun to see so many friends at her bridal shower! He's one lucky guy! Love you Belva!

 We were also able to use our dutch oven and cook up some yummy peach cobbler with Julie and Travis! It was lots of fun and we are SO excited they live so close now! Love you guys! p.s. Don't I have such a handsome husband?! :)
