We love to see the Temple!

One day for FHE we went to the Temple Visitor's Center. It was really neat with all the activities. Seoul couldn't stop hugging the statue of the Christ and Sydney was fascinated with the marks on his feet. I love the feeling on the Temple grounds. It is so beautiful!

How grateful I am that Kelley & I were able to be married there. That I am worthy to go inside this House of the Lord. I really am so happy to have the blessings of the Gospel in our life. It's heart-warming to hear the girls talk about the Temple and sing the song "I Love to See the Temple."

the world through Seoul's eyes

Seoul likes to get a hold of the camera. Here are some pictures she's taken recently. Of course Sydney would smile for her, rarely for me!

Kelley's iPhone purge

Kelley was holding out on me! Here are random pictures from his phone from July. Enjoy!

Sydney loves watermelon!

Sometimes Kelley takes both girls to daddy-daughter day at Lowe's. Sydney got her own apron this time and wasn't sure what to think. Yep, that's your name Syd!

Can't say enough how much we LOVE the strawberry shortcake at Tebo's. May have to go one more time this season if it's still fresh... This was a date night. Yum!

Isn't she getting so long? How did our baby grow up so fast? She's just chilling munchin' on some raisins.

Yep, this is how Seoul was sleeping one night. I worry if we ever do get the bunk beds she wants that she is going to fall out! Sydney is still into the bum-in-the-air pose.

Still lovin' the sandbox!

Two of the cute peeps in my life!

Is it mean to include this picture? Probably. However, I like to think of this as "chocolate wasted!"

Time sure does fly! Trevin is in high school, playing sports and is working on getting his drivers license! Kelley and the girls were able to go watch the State winning game. He doesn't seem to be wrangling Seoul very well, though - haha!

pool time

Our friend's have a great set-up in their back yard.... pool with a slide going into the water. The girls loved it!

Sydney was getting in and out of the pool by herself. One time she slipped and fell completely into the water - head under and everything. I was glad to see she flipped her body so she was on her back and got her head out of the water before I could get to her... that's my girl!

HaPPy BiRthDaY SiS!

My little sis is getting OLD!! 

[Shh... that means I'M getting old also, I suppose...]. 

This year for Mindee's birthday we had some family get together at my mom's house for dinner - her favorite of Chinese and ice cream cake. 

[Missed ya Dad, Evan, Dana, Trevin, Amanda, and Ella!!]

I'm pretty sure she had fun based on the wattage of this smile!

Classic rabbit ears from David in any picture!

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Mindee! Happy birthday to you!

  

A quick game of tag...

Yes, I know this is blurry (and it makes me sad!) but it captured Sydney perfectly... she's getting fast!

No party is complete without group pictures!

My dear sister - I hope you had a happy birthday. You're beautiful and I love your happiness!
