Jaylee May baby blessing

 Jaylee May was blessed on July 1st.  Everything went perfect.  She did not cry at all.  Her dress was made by Bonnie (Grandma Dawson).  It was AMAZING! I loved everything about it. She also made her a cute white blanket and burp cloth that matched.  Kiama made the slip to go under the dress.  She looked so beautiful all in white.  She is such a blessing to our family.  She is very loved and hardly ever put down.  We are so thankful to have her here and to be sealed to her forever.  We love you Jaylee May!

 Thank you as always Aunt Joy for capturing some great pictures of our special day!

(the booties were my favorite part!  So adorable!) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This isn't the best color combo but wanted to show the yellow blanket that Grandma Nona made for Jaylee.

4th of July

 AJ, Brylee and I rode on the trailer for TaVaci.  We did the same song over and over until the end of the parade.  But it was fun.  Brylee was pretty serious the whole time, she was just staring at everyone that was staring at her.  AJ performed the entire route.  I kept asking Brylee if she was ok, but at the end of the parade she said she loved it and can't wait for next year.  Funny girl.  We had perfect weather.  Not too hot.  The missionaries were in a group behind us, they had the whole crowd cheering for them.  It was a good time.

 Cutest spectator ever!  And wonder dad.  He went to the parade with the two youngest and managed just fine.  That is Jaylee asleep on his shoulder.  He is so amazing. 

After we recouped from the parade we packed up our grill and some food and  went to the park.  We grilled, threw frisbies, ate, played, watched fireworks and ate some more!  The girls had fun and I loved that it was just us.  I like that when we are together with just our little family that the girls get along better.  They play with each other more.  It was fun.  The fireworks started so early this year that I was glad we went to the park early.  So many people missed them because they thought they would start later.  Weird.  

I caught some fun pictures of everyone but Brylee seems to be the funny one to catch pics of lately.  She is so funny.  Got some funny ones of AJ too.  I love my girls. 

 McKenna just loved running around.

 (looks like an Indian war dance or AJ catching a frisbie, lol...)

 Push pops!

 Not sure what is happening with her eyes but I was laughing so hard and I am glad I caught of picture of what I was witnessing. But I am also glad I caught one of her real smile. She is so cute.

I love living in America even though our nation is seeming to get worse daily.  We still have it better than most.  I am proud to be an American and I am thankful for the freedom of religion we have in this country.  I am grateful I get to raise my family here.

Happy 4th of JULY!!!

Summer fun

 Brylee did a neighborhood preschool and AJ was the helper for it.  They had a great time.  AJ loved being a helper.  She actually helped for both sessions not just Brylee's class.  They did a little program on the last day.  Sang some songs and got a diploma. 

 We went to the park for a FHE activity and had a lot of fun.  Jaylee loves being outside.  She just chilled while we played. 

 FUNNIEST PICTURE EVER!!!!!!  

Yes it is what it looks like, a toot in the face!

(Jaylee has the cutest pouty face ever!  I love it.)

Snoop even joined the fun. Funny dog. 

We love playing as a family!

FHE tube activity

 Yeah when he went to roll it over she fell on her face, but she laughed and got over it.

 Our 4 girls. Jalyee slept the whole time.

 Crash and Kennas sad face after the crash, lol.

Grandpa is always shipping us random things from online that he thinks the girls would enjoy.  He was right on with these!  They had so much fun playing in these tubes.  It was a light night FHE activity so yes they were in their PJ's already.  It was a blast to watch them race and crash!  Thanks Grandpa!
