My New Nieces

My sister Jenny and her husband adopted two little girls last week. The baby's name is Alexis and the other is Brecken. They were sealed to Jenny and Lee in the Salt Lake Temple last Friday and we got to go watch. It was so much fun to see these cute little girls sealed to their parents.

The Living Planet Aquarium

We went to the Living Aquarium in Sandy with my sister Jenny and her kids. It was definitely worth the drive. The next picture is of the octopus they have there. You can see his creepy eye in this photo.





The Sting Rays were so friendly. They love to be touched. This one kept jumping up at Mathew and he would flap his 'wing' as he swam by so people would touch it. I touched one. It was slimy.





See, he sticks his flipper out so people can touch him.

Matt, Ty, Brecken, Kate, Shay, Jess, and Carston.

The penguins were funny. They swim right up to the glass.

Splash Pad

We went to the Riverdale Splash Pad at the park with Jill and Lana and their cute kids. I give this place 5 stars! It's fun and it's free.







Shaylee, Rhylee, Kate, Halee, Tyler and Emilia.

Summer Fun List

Shaylee and I made summer wish lists of all the things we want to do this year. This pathetic garden is one of mine.



Shaylee was determined to learn how to ride her bike so we went to the church parking lot and in 20 minutes she had it. This isn't her bike, she had to practice on a smaller bike before she could have courage to ride her own 'bigger' bike. Now she is a bike riding champion. She rides every day and we have to take her bike with us in the car everywhere we go. Knock one off Shay's list!

Wind Storm

There was a terrible wind storm a few weeks ago and it broke the branches off a lot of trees in our neighborhood. It was an eerie night. It was so strong it blew over our BBQ grill and our neighbors trampoline blew away and landed in someone's yard 8 houses down. CRAZY weather around here. I don't dare plant a peach tree. I don't think it will survive.
