reunion

We lucked out having the Samuelians and the Dyers come to Utah for the weekend! It was so much fun to be with them, and we didn't have to travel very far to make it happen. Park City in septmeber has to be one of my favorite things ever. Something about it just gets me so excited for fall leaves and pumpkins and halloween and knowing Christmas isn't too far off.  It was so much fun to be together again and to have all of our little kids playing together. It is still crazy to me that we all have kids!

On sunday afternoon we went down the Samuelian's house in midway for pizza, scooter-riding, and woof-ums. (woof-ums aka doughboys are this scrumptious little things you make over a fire with pillsbury dough, chocolate pudding, and whip cream.) 

Love this little maniac.

I can't even begin to talk about how much I love this little girl. 

Charlie was on some sort of truck all weekend. I love him so much. He still calls me "ni-n"i and calls Christian "poo-poo". It makes me so happy. 

making the most delicious pizza concoctions I've ever had

The Samuelians have a full on pizza oven! It makes the best pizzas in the whole world, in my opinion.

and that right there is a woof-um

Unfortunately, the waiter couldn't seem to get a pic with Christian fully in it. He tried several times, this was the most successful attempt.

summer 2011

We have had such a wonderful summer. It ended up that Christian was in between jobs and had about month off, so we went back east and spent time with my family. I was in Maryland for June and New Hampshire for July. - not bad. I couldn't have planned it better.  I was so happy to have so much time with my family. It was so much fun to have Sydney be with all of her little cousins. - I love them all so much I could eat them. 

These are some really random pics from the summer. Why can't I ever just get some good classic pictures on my camera? I guess I should start taking pictures more consistently- that would help. I hope to get some better ones from Julianne sometime soon. 

Sydney LOVED the waterslide 

It was so much fun having Chole, Natalie and Brook there with us. I adore them.

No one loves to water slide as much as this guy.

Katherine and little Lauren Lewis

Sara and litte Mary Kate 

love these girls. 

I love sydney so much that I really can't stand it. She is the happiest angel on earth.

Caroline wins the prize for best older cousin in the world. I wish I could fly her to Utah to live with me.

I am obsessed with these two.

Chloe, Natalie, and Brooke are quite the hairstylists- and the little girls LOVED having them do their hair.

S'mores

cousins camp- more pics to come.

I love this place so much. Can't wait for next year.
