Busy Bees

We had a busy week last week - full of lots of fun. It was Mallory's second birthday, Hannah and Molly came to visit while Jake was in China, and we had Nathan 's summer work party at Boondocks. Despite the scorching temperatures, we had a great time doing it all. I liked this picture of Libbie and Mia. Their mini golf game consisted of running down the green, dragging their club against the ball until it fell into the hole. They consistently got holes-in-one. Ha ha.

All the very cute girls soon before Hannah and Molly left. While they were visiting, we went to the aquarium in Draper and to Gardner Village. I think we were quite brave.

Mallory requested a bumblebee cake this year. The best part of her birthday for me was watching her sing "Happy Birthday to you" to herself and then seeing her eyes light up when she heard everyone sing "...dear Mallory". Sooooo cute!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Oyler came down for the big party. Here are Mia and Mals reading a story with her.

Libbie also just started her first tee-ball season. It has been great fun to watch. She just loves to play ball - no matter the sport. Look at that follow through!

A camping we will go!

We headed to Logan Canyon for Memorial Day weekend. It was great fun romping around in the dirt and bugs. We even saw a few dead snakes - which made Nathan a little uneasy for the remainder of our stay. The girls had lots of fun throwing rocks and sticks into the river and playing with Gavin. Libbie even led us on a tour to the amphitheater in the campgroud. She was quite excited about that feature. Mia even kept her anxiety attacks over the insects and spiders to a minimum. We'll call the trip a success.
