Each August we throw an End of Summer Party where the kids get to stay up late and watch movies while they munch on yummy treats and have a slumber party in the family room. They looked forward to it all week long and thought it was pretty fun to stay up way until 11PM and eat treats all night.
A party isn't complete without Papa Murphey Pizza, Root Beer, powdered doughnuts, sour patch kids, Peanut Butter Cups and Cookies. It felt like we were at Lake Powell. We had lots of fun.
During the Pioneer Day weekend we traveled to the Wasatch Front to enjoy time with Family. It was fun to see Nicole in the parade. I had co-workers here in St George asking me the following week if a relative of mine was in the royalty. They saw her on TV and heard her name and figured we were related. It was good to meet her beau, Jordan. He is a great addition to the family. We had an awesome BBQ at Bri's cabin at Sundance. That place is heaven.
The cousins enjoy the pond in front of the cabin. 
We have nicknamed Kortney "Chubs". That girl gets fatter by the week. Her cheeks billow out and are very kissable....and I aint talkin' about the ones on her face! She is so much fun right now at 6 months old. Her chubby smile and cute giggle brighten my day.
We took the girls to Zion Park in June and enjoyed the hike to Weaping Rock.
We found an Ostrich Farm just outside Zion and had the girls feed them.
I loved catching the polywogs in Zion as a kid so naturally I introduced this little activity to my girls. They each caught one and put them in their water bottles to bring back home.
They were very proud of thier "Loot" Thankfully the polywogs were belly up the next morning. We did not want frogs hopping all over our house for the summer.
Kortney wore her pink bonnet for Zion.
