Swimming with Grandpa

My parents were released from their 3 year calling as Mission Presidents over the Baton Rouge, Louisiana mission on June 28th. Since then,they have been sightseeing and visiting with a lot of family on the long drive back to Washington. They arrived in St. George on the 25th of July. We were so excited to see them. It's been 3 years since they saw Anna, Lainie and Paul. Lucky for Ava and I, we went out for a visit when she was 6 months old.

No one to play with but mom

Ava was sleeping and Anna was at a friends house, so Lainie and I spent several hours together, just the two of us.

Ava's Day

It was Ava's 2nd birthday yesterday. I can't believe it. Little stinker is 2. We celebrated in the city park with friends and family. The city puts on an outdoor movie night twice a month in the summer and we were so excited to watch Nims Island under the stars...however we got rained out about 30 minutes into the movie. Good times. I'm sure Ava loved it anyway.

Lil Stinker

Trying to catch of few of my girls the other night...this is all i got. Lil stink!

Keeping cool

It's not hard for Anna Jane to figure out how to keep cool. We spend most of our time at the pool, but on this particular day we didn't and she was just too hot. A bottle of ice cold water was perfect.
