Miss Reni-Roo at 3 months....

We went to IKEA and she sat up in the cart for the first time! but we had to be creative to make sure she didn't hurt herself, so we stuffed things in around her...she was HAPPY! :o)
It was really cute!
She is definitely getting bigger!
and more smiley!
I also decided to take some blessing dress pictures...
I think they turned out pretty good! :o)

fourth and exchange students....

We got new students....
Gabriel, Bruno, and Lucas
They came on the 3rd of July, so they got to celebrate the 4th with us...
PD and KJ happy as can be.
we went to the neighbors house to do fireworks with them, then we went home and went to bed. :o)
PG doing his happy dance to fireworks!
our grand finale....
that spontaneously burst into flames about 5 minutes after it was over....
KJ jumping over the fire...brilliance! :o)
this is the bean bag I made, I had some fur that KJ's mom gave me and some beans left over from another project...it is HUGE! and not nearly full enough...but it will be! all for FREE!!!
This is her "princess"...she is so cute! (notice the pouty face because she didn't want me to take a pic!

The boys were happy watching a movie...
and we even played with a little goop! :o)
They are all such good friends...it was great to have the alger's come and play...we were sad when they went home....we really would have kept them longer...maybe when our house empties out a little we can have them over again for a little sleep over! :o)

Visit from the Dan Squared Family!

Dan and Danna and the kids came for a visit! It was so AWESOME to see them...it seems like forever since the last time. We had a ton of fun and the kids LOVED being together. At one point we had 11 kids at Mand's house playing and they did VERY little fighting! :o) PG walked around saying "I love Riley and Jake"!!! Thanks for coming guys, it was Great!!!
This is PD once she fell asleep while/after eating a huge marshmallow. it was EVERYWHERE! She had to get a bath! (not that she minded that part!)

KJ doing what KJ does best...playing on the computer...actually he was helping Dan with his computer. and PD and Leili were playing too. Cute girls!
This is what the celestial room of the temple looks like in miniture. At Temple Square they have a huge model of the temple. it was SO cool!
