bling

With 7 ladies in the fam, there are tons of similarities, obviously.  But I show you a manifestation of our differences in that of the wedded women's rings.  (Although some may be a manifestation of the different types of men we married!)  Super fun picture.  We be bling-blingin'.

 May 23rd 

Last full day of all the ladies together, we had to visit the temple.  I was married here!

-------MEANWHILE, back at the ranch in MN, my two sweet boys were camping!-------

My third boy got his second haircut of his life, and I said "Just use the clippers" when others suggested cutting the top with scissors.  So she did, just like I said!  Then I was sad immediately.  But hair grows back, I guess!

We grew up with a swimming pool, so we had to take a dip!  For southern Utah it was a cold day, so I opted to be the frisbee thrower and played from the sidelines.  Since #1 took her turn being a princess the day before, #2 sister had to have her turn when she didn't want her hair wet and had Mom pin it back for her.  We all have princess moments, right!?!

 Fierce.  

The only word to describe the happenings of this photo.  (that, and 'hilarious')

 Post-swimming called for games and donut-flavor tasting.  A dozen unique-flavored donuts split into 8 pieces each.  It was super fun.  We were not fans of the margarita one.  EW salt.  Can you tell we're not alcohol drinkers?

 May 24th

The texas sisters headed out midday so we got a great picture before they left.  Katie needed one with her "babies", too.

 Who are the twins?  We have various combinations of us that have been suspected as twins throughout the years.

 This photo was for my husband.  To prove I am such a baller.  And its probably the best picture of my backside that I've possibly ever seen.  I am not joking about this.  It's all about the angle.

May 25th, Sunday snuggles with Grandma Pammy

 May 26th, Hanky and I left town.  But not before we caught a sweet carousel ride!

Then I came home and cried because I already missed my family.  Perris let me cry on his shoulder for a sec.  There is such a sweet feeling in pondering childhood.  Such a simpler life!  Very fond memories of growing up together.  I hope my children will feel the same and sweetly look back on their life with us in our home!
