July 4th weekend

We were able to go up to Payson for the three-day weekend and enjoy the cooler weather with Justin's parents. Lauren LOVES spending so much time outside and just had the best weekend! We pushed the girls to their limits with early mornings, late nights, no naps for Lauren and fewer naps for Paige - but other than the occasional emotional breakdown they were both troopers and really enjoyed our little getaway!

Daddy and Lauren fishing - she finally got to break out her birthday fishing pole and was very excited!

Paige hanging out in the shade.

The girls all dressed in their patriotic best! Lauren was able to go see her first fireworks show with Grandma, Papa, and Daddy - but Paige was SO tired that Mommy thought it best to stay home and put her to bed!

On Saturday we went to Flagstaff for the day (yay!) to see the horse races. It was really fun and a beautiful day weather-wise! Lauren loved watching the horses and was always ready to cheer for the one wearing PINK! ;o)



Grandma Nel and Papa Jody were able to soak up some much needed Paige time!

Lauren playing with Grandma Nel's "sparkle beads" - all the little girls seem to just love this activity at Grandma's house!!!

It's so fun to read your blog and see pictures of your girls being so dang cute and girlie! It makes me excited for this little bun in the oven to come and be girlie with me!
