Logan starts 4th grade!
Everyone filing onto the bus! She didn't want me taking pictures at first because she was so afraid she was going to miss the bus. She was so anxious for school to start! We had about 10 minutes to spare when we got to the bus stop. I don't know why she doesn't trust my judgement?!

Summer update
Summer has been flying by! We have been so busy, but having a great time. Here are some of the things we have been up to this summer!
We have gone to the city park and met friends and cousins quite a few times. My girls always love having a picnic lunch and playing for a long time at this nice park! My favorite thing is it has tons of shade!
We have pulled out our pool in the back driveway area a few times and let the girls swim for a while. They love that, but they both loved going to 7 peaks more! No pictures from that, but we've gone twice this summer with friends and cousins! It was great!
James with his Uncle Bob and Aunt Julie from California
They came to visit James' dad and to come see the baby blessing of these two sweet babies. Hazel and Jane, cousins born two weeks apart, last april and may to Ben and Misty (Hazel) and Jim and Carrie (Jane). It was a great day! They blessed them both on July 3rd in the same ward, which they both live in.
Of course there were a lot of firework shows that weekend! All weekend long! It was fun for everyone else, but I had to work the whole weekend. So rough being an adult and having to work.
James went with the scouts later that week down to Moab for about 3 days. They had a fun time and I got to have my sisters come visit later that weekend. I was glad to see them!
We went camping as a family up Payson canyon the next weekend. The scenery was really beautiful, but it was freezing and Sierra kept me up crying all night. She slept in the car on my chest for part of the night, but I didn't sleep a wink. Maybe we'll have to wait til next summer to try and take her camping again. The older two girls had a blast though, and James helped me make some yummy tin foil dinners. We got up there so late that we ended up closer to Nephi. It was crazy how crowded it was. I'd never been back that far in the canyon, but it was fun to see.
The girls had swimming lessons the last two weeks in July. They always love it and had a great time this year too. Bonus was that my mom and sister, Kathryn were here to go and see them a few times too!
Sierra had her 1 year old check up the 10th of July and is growing really well. She was 22 lbs and 30 inches long. She has started standing and is taking a few steps. She started that at about 13 months. She has 4 teeth and 1 working it's way in we just discovered a week ago. She loves to snuggle on pillows, the couch, the floor, her dollies, just about anything. She makes a really cute cheesy face, and loves doing headstands! We love having her around. She is really starting to get into everything now. Time for me to clear out all the bottom cupboards or babyproof or something. I need my sanity!
More fireworks for the 24th of July with my parents! I can't believe how many fireworks we heard throughout the month. It was crazy. The newly legal ariel fireworks were pretty cool to watch though. It was fun to have my mom and dad here and visit with them. They came for a family reunion on the 23rd of July for my dad's family. Then there was a WEDDING (see many pics below) and another little mini reunion for my mom's side! So much fun with all the families!
Logan has been taking piano lessons from a very talented girl in our ward since January. She had a piano recital on July 27th. There were a lot of other students there too. We were so proud of Logan! She is very talented and seems to truly enjoy it so far it. Fingers crossed that she will stick with it. My mom and Kathryn also got to come see her perform!
Then there was this little weddin' of my very wonderful cousin, Annie Gedicks. She married Ben Burgoyne, and I couldn't be happier for her! What a beautiful wedding it was, and I was so glad to be a part of it and to be able to see so many of my family members!

Grandma Stimpson wanted to have the fishing pond with prizes for the great grandkids (just like we used to do when we were little). So she brought some fun prizes for the kids and we got them all together and let them fish! They were so funny to watch! Love all these little kids!
James' 36th birthday was on August 2nd! I love this man so much! He is the best father and husband. I love spending all my time with him. He really is my best friend, and I think he deserves the best in everything he does. He is so thoughtful, easy going, funny, and such a wonderful example to me in many ways. He makes me better, and I love him with all my heart for all eternity! Hope it was a great day sweetheart!
