Olaf and Sven

 I'm not sure how it happened but we got bunnies.

Lexi wanted a pet and Sean told her about how he had a lop eared bunny as a boy.

So she got her heart set on lops.

We researched and males are more friendly, and bunnies are social so we needed two.

Next thing we knew, someone in our neighborhood was giving away two male lops.

And Lexi fell in love with them.

We named name Olaf and Sven.

 

They are so cute when they stand up.

 



They dug a hole under their house and hang out there during the day to stay cool.

 



 

 

We created a home for them behind our third car garage.

 



Tremonton Trip 2015

 June 14th was the 12 year anniversary of Sean's mom's death.

So that weekend we headed up to Tremonton to visit her grave.

Sean's dad is from Tremonton so he'd go there every summer growing up.

So we took a little trip down "memory lane."

First, we went to Mack's and got lunch and milkshakes.

 

 

 

 

Next we went to King's  and let the kids pick out a toy just like Sean did when he was a kid.

King's moved to a new, bigger location.

 





 

 And last we went to the cemetery.

And not a single one of my children is looking at the camera, typical.

 

 

Sean's mom's headstone.

 

We walked around the cemetery looking at a lot of Sean's extended family's graves.

Sean's grandparents' headstone.

 





Lexi's First Tea Party

 Last month Lexi asked me if she could host a tea party.

She hand wrote invitation and delivered them to some of the neighbor girls.
She picked out the menu and the decorations.
She also planned the schedule- eating, making paper fans and playing Princess Candy Land.
 

At the time, we were in the middle of repainting our dinning room table and chairs.
That's why there is a card table and folding chairs.

 



Lexi was such a good hostess.

She tried to lead the conversation. She asked everyone questions to help them get to know each other.

 



After Lexi gave Brooklyn an invitation she told Zoe about the party. So Lexi invited Zoe.

Zoe's little brother Patrick thought he was invited too.

And he was said when he realized he wasn't so Lexi let me come too,

even though she didn't even enough dishes, he wasn't dressed fancy and is a boy.

 



 

Since the Tea Party, we found more dishes at the D.I.

So we'll be having another Tea Party soon.



Hometown Photo Shoots

 We have so many open fields by our house and the most gorgeous sunsets.

So I decided that I wanted to take some pictures of my kids.

We also found some old buildings here in town that I thought would be great backdrops.

I am always on the look out for new spots to take pictures.

 

That's our church building and our neighborhood. I just love where we live. It's gorgeous!

 



I love seeing the Salt Lake everyday.

 



You can see the "T" on the mountain from our house. Someday we're gonna hike to it.

 



I was so excited to get pictures with these "puffers."

 



Man, Eli is looking so much older. He isn't a baby anymore!

 



I tried to take Ruby's picture too but she was so tired and it was really hot.

So she wasn't really in a smiley mood but she's still adorable.
