July 22

This wonderful, awesome guy turned 36 on July 22.  We're so glad to call him ours.  Love you Derek!

Sister Steele

 Sister Steele has been like a Grandma to our girls.  She was their primary teacher and Activity Day leader at some point in the last 4 years.  She is so special to us.  Sister Steele was so nice to come and let Bryanna finish her Faith in God bracelet before we moved to Reno.  We are so thankful for her sweet spirit and big heart.  We know we'll still see her often even after we move.

Windy Ice Cream Party

abby, holly and emily

 

 when we decided to move to Reno the girls agreed that a going away party with friends would be so much fun.  we decided to have an ice cream party at the park. oOf course, in true Nevada style it was crazy windy and ice cream made us a little cold.  the party was short and sweet but we got to see some of our good friends before we moved (30 miles away) and that was worth it.

Super Circus

 

gracie's gymnastics studio has a super circus every year which is their version of a recital.  it is loud and a little chaotic but gracie did awesome and we were so excited for her.  she is a beautiful gymnast.
