Cousins

There's never a dull moment with cousins!

Girls are singing "I Am A Child of God" (they are holding the strings to the curtains up to their ears pretending they are ear buds)

Thomas is always building something.  He reminds me of the tinkering fairy on the Tinker Bell movies.  He even has a "seatbelt" for Lexi on this bike contraption he put together.


We went to Surprise's football game and Lexi appeared to be a sports fan.  There have been a few instances lately that have made me think that Lexi is going to be a sports enthusiast like her parents.

Yoosh!

This is Addy's made up word equivalent to "Phew!" and "Yikes!"  She even says it in the same tone that many people use to say "phew".  Yoosh just popped into my head when I thought of where to start on this post since so much has happened in the last two months.  Back in April we were given an estimated closing date of Sept 25.  In August that date was moved to Sept 3!  We were so excited!  I can't believe our house was finished well before expected.


The girls and I came back to Utah a couple of weeks before our new expected closing date and stayed with Steve's Aunt JoAnn.  We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family who have helped us this summer while we were without a home.  The girls adore JoAnn and loved staying with her and her cat Meow.  Here are just a few pictures from when we stayed at her house.

We got to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Reed more often since they live close to JoAnn
Great Grandpa Reed is 94 years old!  This little activity he does with the grandkids and great grandkids he's been doing for a long long time.  It took many years for Addison to let him do it with her.  Lexi had no reservations though.










It worked out great that we came back to Utah when we did because a week later my sister had her 6th/8th baby!  Lol not sure how to say what number it is.  She was their 6th biological but she is the 8th child in the family since they have two adopted boys.

With her new cousin, Zyna

Gardner Village

It's been awhile. I have so much I want to post but never enough time (or motivation). Today Steve & I took a break from projects (mostly new home projects) to take the girls to do something fun. Gardner Village had some fun kids activities.
