Swimming in Lava

I took the girls swimming in Lava last week with my sisters and their kids. We had a lot of fun, and the girls had a lot of fun. We wore them completely out, and Berklee ended up falling asleep while we were still in the pool. It was so cute. I can't beleive how fast summer is flying by. We are going to be celebrating Bailee & Berklee's 1st birthday next Wednesday. Where has the year gone?

Berklee completely worn out. I know it looks like she's suffocating in the tube, but trust me she had plenty of room to breath

4th of July

This 4th of July was so fun, because it was Bailee & Berklee's 1st 4th of July. We had a family bbq on Sunday with all of the Mathews's then went to the fireworks in Lava that night. I thought the girls would be scared of the fireworks, but they mostly just sat their and stared at them in amazement. Then on Monday we went to the parade in Soda, I can't wait until next year when they will be able to catch candy. Then we went on a family picnic with all the Mathews, or it was supposed to be. It pretty much just ended up with us getting lost in the Mountains after driving for 2 hours, and then Bryant and I leaving and going to Idaho Falls instead to do a little shopping. It all worked out in the end, and we still had a lot of fun even though we spent most of the day in the car driving. I am so thankful this 4th of July for all that I have. My beautiful girls have brought me so much joy, and I have so much to be thankful for.
