Isn't She Lovely?

By the way, that's chapstick.

Here Fishy, Fishy

We went fishing up Blacksmith Fork Canyon, and of course, Milee was the only one to catch a fish. It's got to be the Barbie pole.

We had a great Fourth of July. The girls looked so cute in their new outfits from Grandma Sib. The parade was hot, but the kids got loads of candy. Lyla about dragged me down the street chasing after the sweets. The big kids better watch out next year.

We had yummy food after the parade, and the kids spent all day in the water. We closed the holiday with a professional fireworks show put on by Colby.

Pig Party

Milee turned four, and we decided to have a pig party. We had pin the tail on the pig, watched "Three Pigs and a Baby," smacked a pig pinata, and had pig cupcakes while wearing pig ears and noses. As you can see, she made a haul.

Our New Best Friend

We love having a garden even though it takes a lot of hard work. The girls are good helpers, and they even find new friends hiding in the dirt once in a while.

Dancing Queen

Milee was so wonderful at her first dance review. She had to do three dances: ballet, tap, and jazz. I was so proud, she knew the steps, and even made a fish face during the "Under the Sea" routine!

Turkey Huntin'

Colby went turkey hunting again this year, but was bombarded with snow, not turkeys. I know the boys had a great time anyway, even though they didn't bring home any Toms. Better luck next year!

Cake, Pool, What Else is There?

We had a big family party the Sunday after Lyla's birthday. We decided she hadn't had enough sugar with the PB tart, so Grandma Sib made her a fabulous cake. Of course she snarfed that down too. She got great presents, and especially loves her pool and slide.

Lyla's 1!

I can't believe Lyla is one. Time goes so fast. We had a private family party on her actual birthday and went to our favorite Sweetly Divine pastry shop. The peanut butter tart was actually mine, but as you can see, Lyla devoured it. And of course I bought her her first Barbie!

We Love the Wii

Mom and Dad brought their Wii up one Sunday and we battled it out till the sun went down. Milee is definitely the champ at boxing, she even has the best outfit.

Pantry Predator

I've got to start chaining up the pantry.

Baby Animal Days

Milee begged me to take her to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center. It was so cold that day, but that meant no one would be there. We walked right up to every animal instead of having to fight the crowds. The girls loved all the baby chicks, cows, pigs, horses, lambs, ducks, and any other animal you can think of.
