Every Day Life

We spent many days swimming at Grandma Ber's house this summer. Although I didn't take any pics of the girls actually in the pool, here they are all cuddled up in their towels. They both got really good at swimming around with their little floaties.

Frequently these goof balls take all the cushions off the couch and wrestle around in them. I can't remember why they're not wearing clothes.

For months I tried to convince Cambry to let me take her to get a hair cut. Every time she ended up in tears, despite the different tactics I used. Her hair was getting pretty stringy and icky, and I was running out of ways to make it look presentable. Finally I asked her if I could just cut her hair. She immediately agreed. So I pulled out the cape I use for Devin's hair, got my sewing scissors, and cut some bangs and about 4 inches off the back. Not perfect, but she's so cute it looks just fine on her.

Driveway painting included rocks, lasagna noodles, toes, etc

We went to a park one Friday evening after dinner and there was a big festival going on. The girls (and the husband) were mostly just enthralled with the fire truck. 

I love how Veena Bug just snuggled into Cambers

Although the fires have done lots of damage to Utah, we've had some incredible sunsets

Vienna was playing with my phone while we were grocery shopping, and I kept hearing her say "Tseee". It wasn't until later I realized she had taken over 30 pictures like this, and she trying to say "cheese". Haha, whatever it takes to get some shopping done in peace!

We made some fruit loop necklaces  one afternoon. Vienna wasn't too excited about the whole process, but was glad to have this goodness tied around her neck.

Cambry was in total project mode, breathing heavy, complete concentration. She couldn't even look up for a picture.

The little things parents do to make their kids laugh...

Devin's first day of school in his new research lab at the U of U. It's quite desolate in there, but he's so excited to make it a fully functioning, working lab, full of high tech equipment testing important ideas that I can't even comprehend. He came home one day and said he just spent over $30,000 of the U's money, and he was just getting started ordering his equipment and parts. What an exciting time for Devin to test out his models and theories from his Masters degree for his PhD. We're so grateful people are willing to put so much time and money into Devin and his ideas. It's going to be quite the adventure the next 3 years.
