UTAH!!!

Cousins!

The Hawks side of the family has 5 grandkids. They are all girls.

It is so much fun!

  Lili just adores this little cousin. Squishy Sophie is 8 months old and at such a fun age. She laughs at everything, is just sturdy for Lili to hold, and seems to love her big cousin!

There are many things you can count on when we visit Mimi and Poppi's house. And one of those is popcorn. Poppi loves it. The uncles love it. Great Grandpa Howdy loves it. And now we've got three little granddaughters who love it!

 I couldn't help but snap a picture of these cute friends back together in church again. It was so sweet to see them sharing treats, coloring books, toys, etc. We may not have been as reverent as we should have been, but we were sure happy!

It was so great to see some of my beautiful Young Women again! What an amazing blessing it is to be able to work with these sweet girls. They have such an excitement and enthusiasm for life, plus they cheered when I came in. That feels pretty good.

I think I know what Kylan secretly wants to buy the girls for Christmas =)

Dinner with the Hudson's

Lili, Skylar, Saige and Serelle. The four cutest little pals you've ever seen. Lili and Skylar have been great friends for the last couple of years and Lili has really missed Skylar since we moved. Every once in a while she'll look at me and say, "I wish Skylar could come have a play date". It breaks my heart every time! The flip side of that was how much fun it was to see them play together again.

Serelle and Saige, on the other hand, never did anything but fight. We liked to let the older two play together, but more often than not the play date had to end due to the inability of the younger sisters to get along. Maybe it was just the 6 months of growing up that did the trick, or maybe it was seeing how much fun their sisters were having together, but these two finally played for almost two whole hours without a single problem!

Sweet Tooth Fairy

It was so great to spend an evening with the Mattingly's. 

Cupcakes, hot tub, chatting by the fire, it almost felt like we had never left...

As if the night could not have gotten any better...they get to have a sleepover with their BFF's in princess sleeping bags. These are two lucky girls!
