Miscellaneous Pics Closing out the Month of June

Kind of an odd way to sleep, but whatever is comfy I guess. 

Combined Family Home Evenings are always fun. Chad did a good job keeping them listening by occasionally throwing a beach ball at them. ha ha It worked like a charm.

I bought the kids some Star Wars themed school workbooks and they LOVE them. They are constantly begging to do homework, which I guess is a good thing.

Despite being trampled quite often, my lilies are looking good out back.

A sleeping Olivia is the cutest thing ever.

Stake conference was way too exciting for Bentley, who is also very precious when sleeping.

Cutest little bum.

She thought she was so cool wearing Eden's sunglasses.

A little pre-4th of July sparkler action. Bentley was pretty nervous about holding it, but Eden danced around happily. Olivia just watched in awe.

Almost every single morning we see hot air balloons. I love this about Albuquerque and so does Bentley. He told me "I love the balloons. It makes my heart happy!"

He always has some crazy imagination and excitement going on in his world.

We took the older kids out to lunch and then to see "Inside Out" in the theater. They didn't know what it was about so I showed them the trailer and they were instantly hooked. That movie was so good!

We also get to go on grown up dates with friends too, which is totally awesome. I love the area we live in and all the good friends we have made here.

Baby #4!

Holy moly... I have never had that little plus sign turn up so fast and so dark. Talk about a shocker.  We are very excited though, and look forward to the next little addition to the family in January 2016!

Backyard Swimming

Even Ruby gets to join the fun sometimes, although I'm sure she wasn't loving that idea.

Awe summer.... it's the best.

The Strange Things Kids Do...

We tucked them nicely in their beds and then went downstairs to hang out. This is how we found them when we came back up.  Apparently beds (and in Eden's case clothing) is not necessary. Cuties.

Olivia's Snuggles

When she wants to relax for a minute, this girl becomes the cutest little snuggle bug.

If Eden is sitting somewhere, Olivia will plop herself right down into Eden's lap.

Bentley and Olivia are the cutest though. These two seek each other out to snuggle. If Bentley doesn't have his blanket, he will snuggle up next to Olivia and hold her arm or leg and rub it as he sucks his thumb. She loves it and seeks him out in return to "hold" her.

I love finding them randomly like this. It has to be one of the most heartwarming things as a mom to see my kids being loving to each other. 

And then occasionally, when Eden and Bentley aren't around, I'm the lucky one who gets her snuggles.  :)

Summer Days at the Pool and Splash Park

We love summer... it's so much fun! With the trach being out we have really loved the increased water activities that we have been able to do this summer. Entertainment for hours...

Costume Party

Sometimes, actually more often than not, really strange and random things happen around here. They are the cutest...
