I'm going to skip posting about the 2nd half of the 5th week of summer because I don't have all of the pictures from our family reunion in Utah.
The pictures below are from July 8th through 14th.
 |
| This was my attempt at making Sydney's hair look like an "S". |
 |
| Wes loves Ruth so much! |
 |
| One of my favorite things to see at my house is one of my kids reading just for the fun of it. |
 |
| Ruth loves being outside. And, unlike most babies, she doesn't seem to mind the grass on her toes! |
 |
| Happy girl! Ruth is just shy of five months in these pictures. |
 |
| The kids decided to sit directly on top of the sprayers at the splash park. |
 |
| Sleepy girl. |
 |
| I think this is a great picture. Apparently, Brian had wanted a crystal ball for a long time and finally decided to get one when he officially started his own business. He wanted it as a joke since people want finance people to predict the future when picking stocks, etc. Unfortunately, there is no "look into a crystal ball" answer to anything in the future! |
 |
| The kids earned a treat from the store...I think picking it out took almost as long as earning it. It's a tough choice! |
 |
| We actually just happened upon the "Dress Like a Cow" day at Chick-Fil-A. We didn't get any free food, but Sydney really loved looking like a cow for this picture! |
 |
| Wes had to get a picture, too. |
 |
| I can't remember why Ruth kept checking on Brian. |
 |
| The kids and I volunteered at Bountiful Baskets for the first time. They really enjoyed getting their bonus bananas! |
 |
| Wes helped Brian mow the lawn. |
 |
| Pale baby "relaxing" with her daddy. |
 |
| We went to my sister's house to celebrate my nephew, Danny's, 13th birthday! |
 |
| Sydney was reading her Book of Mormon on the way to church. Actually trying to read it out loud. |
 |
| The fire alarm went off during Sacrament Meeting so we all had to head outside and wait for the firemen/women to give us the "all clear". That was a first for our family! |
 |
| Later Sunday evening the kids helped me make Nutella no-bake cookies. I just kept hoping I wouldn't find one of Sydney's hairs in any of the cookies! |
