Friends & Missionaries

Kesslyn and Kate had such a fun time playing ALL day long yesterday!

I wish I could have taken a picture of them trying to help each other climb up onto the trampoline!!!

I was dying laughing!!! ;););)

They made the most awesome fort in the hallway upstairs, and didn't want the day to end. :)

I know I have saved this picture before, but I had to save it again, but this time with....

...our awesome cousin Cohen!

Just look at these two missionaries in Brazil! Loving everyone, and LOVING their missions! ;)

It was just so fun to see their emails come through with so many similar things going on for them, and with both of them being in Brazil, this just HAD to be documented!

Jesus said love EVERYONE, and that's what we are trying to do!

People, puppies, kitties and all!

On Friday night, DATE NIGHT, ;) Clint and I went to the temple and then went to grab a bite to eat after. As we were sitting in the booth talking and finishing up our meal, we began hearing loud booming sounds coming from outside...

We had no idea that it was Draper town days and that we were going to be standing right underneath their fireworks show that night!

It was like they were doing the show JUST for us! ;)

I also gave a talk on Sunday about being converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a great opportunity to share my testimony with everyone, but I'm always glad when those things are over.

Then, this morning when I woke up to my alarm at 5:30 am, I was a little surprised to see that I already had a text message from someone. When I opened it up and saw that Gavin had sent me the sweetest message last night before he went to bed, my heart just melted.

Then, shortly after our morning got going, the phone rang as it does every Monday morning, and it was our favorite missionary, Elder Trickett in Brazil!

It is always so fun to see him and to hear how his week is going.

He shared this photo with me to show off his "guns" that he's been working on since they have a gym in the apartment of the AP's.

I told him I didn't know he was going to come home a spiritual AND a physical giant! ;)

I LOVE my family!!!

The Little Things

Have I ever mentioned how much I love this man that I'm married to for eternity???

He makes me smile everyday and I am so grateful for his constant love and never ending humor. ;)

Life is so fun with him!

Kambriella and Kesslyn enjoyed a sister date at the movies while Clint and I went on a date too. It was fun night!

My favorite part of my date was the long walk that Clint and I went on together in the warm summer night.

My favorite thing about the girls date was the picture that Kambriella texted me of the two of them with their popcorn. Sometimes the biggest things in life are made up of all the sweet little things. :)

Happy Birthday Tiffany

We had a fun time celebrating my sister Tiffany's birthday at the South Davis Rec Center the other day!

Kesslyn was cracking me up as she was eating an Oreo and had creme filling all over her face as she was telling me how hungry she was. ;)

(I knew I was forgetting something as I was leaving the house earlier1 ;)

Kambriella's friend Kambria came with us, and we met Colby, Tiffany, and Lexi all there.

It was nice to just relax in the little kiddie pool and splash pad since it was pushing 100 degrees that day!

These are definitely the treasured lazy days of summer!

I told Kambriella that she is growing up too fast though...such a beautiful girl, inside and out. ;)

When we got home we found Kesslyn's stepping stone that she had made at activity days had been delivered by her leader...So cute Kesslyn!

I love to see your creativity, and I LOVE the seashells that you added too!

Later that evening Clint and I went out to dinner for Tiffany's birthday too. I love my sister so much! I am glad that Heavenly Father gave us families, and especially sisters!

Happy Birthday Tiffany!

RHS Soccer & Cherry Hill

Today Kambriella went to her first soccer practice with the Riverton High School girls soccer team!

Whaaattt???

Kambriella, when did you grow up?

I am SO proud of you for working so hard and reaching for the stars! I am excited to see where you end up...I know it will be right where Heavenly Father needs you to be.

Today was also the annual Trickett family party at Cherry Hill, so we loaded up and then stopped for a bite of lunch with Clint and Carew before going there.

I'm pretty sure this was the first time that we have all had a lunch date together with the boys from work. It was fun to have everyone there.

All of the cousins were SO happy to see us once we arrived (since we were the last ones there).

The lazy river is always the favorite for everyone, and feels the best when it's a 100 degree summer day!

Clint and Carew were able to join us a little later after they finished up at work, and Eila was able to stay a little longer than the rest of her family because Aunt Tammy volunteered to take her home so she could have a little more time with Kesslyn.;)
