Beth the photographer

Both my girls love the iPad but especially camera apps that can take pictures and then the can do weird things with the pics. But Beth is actually getting good at taking real pictures too. We had dinner and games with my cousin Nicole and her hubby (and super cute baby!) and I didn't even think to take pictures but thanks to Beth we have it documented! 

And then of course her "selfies" with funny faces crack me up!!

Kids make life fun for sure!!

Grandpa's camping trip : Sisters week this August

I stole all these pictures from my good sisters who use cameras more than I do- thanks guys! 

My dad planned a fun hiking/ camping trip in August which was way fun!! 

Then before and after the camping trip we got some good sister time in. My little girls loved having cousins over to play in the backyard! And Ben worked hard on building us an arbor!

Emily's shower

My good friend Yuki and I threw a shower for a gal in our ward. It was super fun- we had a better turn out then we were expecting which is way fun! 

Poor Yuki's on the floor laughing I think! 

We love our ward and our little house that surprises us to be able to suit our needs in pretty much everything we want our home to do! It seems to be pretty accommodating for our family so we are going to keep living in it as long as we can!

Beth my sweet helper

For my birthday my mom and dad got me this amazing attachment for my kitchen aid: a strainer. I've used it every three days or more since it arrived! Beth did tomato sauce with it by herself. And we've done lots of pear and apple sauce too. It's very fast and easy and I've canned a ton this season thanks to it!

Beth is always willing to help me (well not when she's tired and grumpy) but pretty much always! She's incredibly sweet. She's also very motivated to do a job if I say we can have iPad time after!!

The girls after collecting eggs in the rain and finding the tiniest egg we've ever gotten!
