Vacation in Utah and moving to East Texas!

This may be a disorganized, very long post because there is a lot to upload. 


Brinley saw a picture of me recently with a beard. She looked at it, then looked at me and said, "Daddy you're silly. Are you Trevor?"



Playing with marbles with David and Maren at Great Grandpa and Grandma Robertson's house.


We went to Thanksgiving Point and the girls got to touch a Komodo Dragon!


We visited Amberlin's new house! It was beautiful and Brinley became quickly interested in Amberlins toy room.


Bed time story on the back porch before sleeping outside in the tent!


Grandpa loves his granddaughters!


We went for a walk by the river in Spanish Fork. It was lots of fun. Grandpa even made a movie about it!


Happy cousins! Stuffin their faces with Swedish Fish.


Daddy's homemade swing. As hard as it was to hold on, balance, and not hit into the tree, fence or bushes, the girls still had a lot of fun.



We went to the SAND DUNES! We had a blast! Here is Uncle Trevor flying over a dune.







Home made strawberry ice cream on the back porch!




Fun Uncle Preston-


Ashlyn loves twinning with her Nana! Matching necklaces...


And glasses! Ashlyn loved Nana's glasses so Nana bought another pair and punched the lenses out of Ashlyn's pair so she could wear them.


Ashlyn has loved wearing the glasses. She's also developed a love for the movie, "Once I was a Beehive". She told Jenny, "Mom, I just think the girl is so cute." Jenny tried to figure out which girl she was talking about. She was surprised to find out that Ashlyn was talking about Phoebe, a bookworm girl in the movie.


Grandma Martinson paid for us to go to Lagoon! We had such a BLAST! In the morning, Parker and Sawyer came with us.




Claire was traumatized on the first ride. It was a little jeep ride that went in circles. After that, she wasn't getting on any other rides.


We absolutely loved this roller coaster! It's called Bombora. It's actually a pretty fun roller coaster. I was afraid the girls would get scared but they absolutely loved it. For the last hour of Lagoon being open (they close at 10pm) we basically just rode this roller coaster over and over. It was such a fun memory!
 



Getting wet on Rattle Snake Rapids!





Here's another one I thought the girls would be scared and crying on but they ended up loving it.


Papa brought home the Ranger to let us go for rides on the mountain above their house. We had lots of fun. The girls couldn't decide if they wanted to slow down or go faster most of the time.

 THANKS PAPA!


Claire was having a ball getting water with the cup from the sprinklers. She's such a bundle of fun.

Back to the Williams! On a hike to the grotto!




The girls love playing on Grandpa's iPad and reading stories.


We love playing with our Uncle Kris!


Nothing better than stories read by Grandma!



Visiting Grandma Lewis! The girls loved seeing the horses in the back. 


Claire loves being a baby!



"Is this the right way, Dad?"


We met Rapunzel at the ward party in Centerville!


Sleepover in Grandma's room!


This girl doesn't fuss often, but when she does, I wish she didn't.


There were a couple times while talking to Trevor that I felt like I was looking at myself. Weird.


We went to Cascade Springs! Food was not allowed so we had a tailgate party lunch!










What a dood.



Grandpa taught the girls how to fish for Swedish fish at home in the kitchen. This led to more questions which led to Grandpa getting a fishing license and buying fishing poles for the girls. They loved it!




This girl loves shoes! It doesn't matter who's they are, she will try them on and wear them around the house. She prefers one shoe on and one shoe off.


We went to the Provo Rec Center and had a blast! There was a lot to do and we loved it! Aubrey and Dennis made it a lot of fun. They are a great aunt and uncle.



Can you say bed head?


Can you say creepy uncle?


Minnie got married!!! The girls loved watching Georgie do Minnie's makeup for the big day.


Cutting the cake.


Claire loves dog food!


And dogs. Especially Pepper. When we went to Grandma Martinson's, she saw a cat and said, "Pebba, Pebba!"


Back on the road to our new home in East Texas. Only in Texas will you find Texas-shaped waffles.


Dallas. We drove 18 hours the first day and 3 the next day.


Many long trips in this van.


Yay! We love our new house!


We had so much help moving in! It was unbelievable!


We love having a pool! Ashlyn and Brinley are becoming quite the swimmers.



Taking cookies to our neighbors.


Jenny ran the "Freedom Run", a 5k with our ward, the morning of July 4.


These girls have become good at entertaining themselves lately.


We spent most of the Fourth organizing our house. In the evening we got sundaes from Sonic and watched fireworks from our car.



Ellen Trout Zoo! We were impressed with the zoo. Lot's of peacocks.




We love walking to Church. This morning we left at 9:56 and were at Church by 9:58
