Cousin Emmalee

A new cousin! Baby Emmalee...another girl, we needed another girl to balance out all these boys!

 

Weddings and Such...

Sweet Marissa Schnell got married! She was the best babysitter to my kids and one of my favorite young Women that I was blessed to work with. I love seeing her so happy! She is going to be the most loving wife friend and partner for life. 

One of my other favorite events of the summer is the Newsom garden party. And this one was special because Julie was visiting from Arizona and I have a feeling it's going to be the last with Rachael as her husband is switching gears and quitting from Nike to work with his brother on a clothing company called Hope and Henry. 

 

Preston is 3!

Today Preston turned 3!. To celebrate we invited his favorite friend and cousin Caralynn to go to the zoo to see the Elephant and Piggie Show. We love reading the books to him at night so when I saw that there was a show at the zoo I thought it would be fun to take him for his birthday. Honestly it was a little longer than I had expected so it didn't keep his attention the entire time, but more like most of the time. His favorite part was meeting the cast after the show. Then on Sunday we had family over dinner, cake and presents. We love you mister Preston! You love Noodles, chips, Disney Pixar movies, your scooter and anything that your brother Ryan is doing.

 

BYU Soccer Camp...

This year we shipped Zach off to BYU Soccer Camp, all by himself. He has been nursing a bum right leg. We are still not sure exactly what is causing the pain, but he didn't let that stop him from attending the camp and winning the ALL STAR award! Overall he had a great week! Thanks to Uncle Jeff, Aunt Britt and Aunt Lisa for helping him get to and from the airport, to and from BYU and letting him crash for a night in your home! 

 

Ski Bowl Adventure Park

One of our favorite summer activities playing at the Ski Bowl Adventure Park up on Mt. Hood. We decided Preston needed to experience his first alpine slide! He loved it! The other kids of course had a great time two. What a fun afternoon had by all.

 

July 4th, 2019...

Happy 4th of July! We spent the day with our local cousins watching the Oak Hills parade in the afternoon, neighborhood BBQ in the evening, and ended the night watching the fireworks and lighting even a few of our own. I am so thankful to live in the US of A!
