Cast-free!

And the cast is off! It was a hot month to have to stay away from water but I think we'll make up for it between now and when school starts! Avery is still being really protective of her arm and won't use it but we're hoping she gets used to it soon. She keeps talking about it and saying "the good doctor help-a-my arm! And it's all better now!" The kids have been really cute with her and careful with her and her arm. She's such a cute girl and has been so good and patient through this whole thing!

Draper suspension bridge hike. It was so hot and the twins wanted to be carried most the way, but still worth it! Last year I about had a panic attack crossing this bridge and the kids still laugh about it...I blame it on that I didn't know it would shake and that it's so high up! This time I'm happy to say I was able to cross it fine and help Avery across who was a little scared (she's two so she has a good excuse 😉). Loving enjoying the outdoors as a family this summer! ❤️

Ice cream!

A cold, windy summer day yesterday called for some McDonalds play place time, happy meals, and of course ice cream cones!

Baby

Everywhere we went today baby & stroller had to come along 😊💗. Avery loves this baby and pushing her all around the house. We call her a little mom, not only because of how much she loves this baby but how she kind of tries to "mother" Asher 😂.

Sometimes she'll load the stroller up with dozens of little things along with the baby to push around the house. I caught her the other day talking to each thing as she put and took them out of the stroller. So cute! She is such a smart little thing!

Cast! And eating Mac & Cheese off the ground

Avery got her hard cast on Friday. She had been saying she wanted a purple one but when she was shown the colors she loved the pink and quickly decided she wanted that color 😊. It matched her outfit perfectly! She was very brave but of course getting her temporary cast cut off was a little scary and her poor little arm was shaking and she said it hurt 😢. Poor sweet girl. The nurses were good and got the new cast on pretty quickly. I held Avery the whole time and helped her feel better. As we walked out and started again saying "the doctors help-a-me!" which is what she has been saying through this whole ordeal. She's such a sweetheart.

Since we were downtown at Primary Children's hospital we stopped at daddy's work and he came down to the road to say hi to us and to see Avery's cast. After that she was worried about where Asher was (she doesn't like to be without him for long and gets worried about him) so we hurried back to grandma Lori's house to see him and show him her cast 😀. Here she is on the way home.



Lately when Avery gets hurt or worried and Asher isn't around she says "I worried about Dashy" or "Sashy" (she calls him both). They aren't apart very often but since she has hurt her arm this is the third time she has had to go to the hospital without him and she is always concerned about him. I think it's so cute and it's usually when she gets sad that she says she's worried about him and that he might be sad too, and I always reassure her that he's ok and that we will see him soon 👫💗💙.

This was the day before, but it was so funny. They had been eating Mac and Cheese for lunch and Asher accidentally spilled his bowl, but it was no big deal. They just started eating it off the floor! Haha! I about stopped them but then thought, oh why not. The floors are pretty clean 😉.

Riverton Days parade

Tonight we went to the Riverton Days parade! It was hot but luckily we got a shaded spot.
Luke and Halle had fun collecting candy and were nice to share the candy with the twins. I think they had a lot of fun running around and driving for taffy :).
Asher loved playing in the dirt on the corner we were standing by. He would play in the dirt and then if something came by he was interested in he would run over (motorcycles, firetruck, train, horses) watch with us for a minute, and then run right back to the dirt.
Avery was very interested in the horses that came by and the princesses (Riverton City royalty). She also loves the bus and the train.





I love nights like these where we get to spend time together! Although we were hot and sweaty and had dust and dirt all over us from Asher playing in it we had a great time! Love this sweet family of mine ❤️❤️❤️.
