Welcome to the family Thya Rose!

Thya Rose Black came into our lives on June 4th!  She is our dark haired beauty.

Perrin, Connor and I got to go have a visit with our Emery County family.  We had a fun and busy time, helping with the new baby and helping Lacie and her family move.

Jayda loves her sister!

Here's our proud Mama.

She'll probably hate this picture, because she isn't wearing makeup.  

But I have always thought that Lacie was so so pretty.

Perrin is always so sweet with babies.

And here's our camera man.

It's a good thing he got the camera out, because
I didn't take a single picture while we where visiting.

He also took no less than, 30 selfies...
here's to a healthy sense of self. 

P.S. Our book for our trip was "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman.

I heart summer!

The first week of summer was so much fun  We had a day of swimming and a day of doing nothing but watching TV and playing Minecraft. We read a book called "Ungifted" by Gordon Korman.

We also got to spend a day at the International Peace Garden in SLC.

It was lovely, shady and quiet in the garden.  And the exhibits where interesting and educational.

Crazy Connor missed most of the garden, because he had such a bad sunburn that he had to hide out in the shade.  But his kindle kept him busy.

This! This is why I love summer.  I love the long, unhurried days that don't belong to the Box Elder School District. I love when my boy's time is all mine.
