New Luggage

As you can see, I found 2 luggage sets at the DI today for 3 bucks. They are in great shape for how much usage dirt was on them (nothing baby wipes couldn't handle), they will hold up well and we WILL use them. They look retro, but we will never mistake them at the airport! The girls LOVE them and pretended 'traveling' all afternoon.

Visiting Family in Idaho

We had so much fun visiting everyone. I should have taken more pictures, but I guess I was just having too much fun.

"Your Wife" conversation

Tyler was talking to Lily on Skype while Janna was at education week
and he asked Lily where Mommy was, she replied out of the blue with

"your wife is at a conference. with her husband's sisters." 

so Tyler decided to keep her going on
that and asked Lily

"where is her husband?"

to which Lily replied

"YOU are in Afghanistan on a work trip but I can't come visit you on this
work trip" and something about how kids don't go to Afghanistan.

She later spoke about how she met Heidi's boyfriend at Cherry Hill and
how she didn't think he was a good boy for Heidi to date.  She also
mentioned how she met her future husband at Cherry Hill and made up
same wierd name for him that sounded like "Horman"

Funny Stuff

Tubing the Weber

Dress ups and Head Lamps

Girls while I'm gone

The girls had fun with all their babysitters while I was gone for a week of backpacking. Lily got her first bee sting while jumping on the tramp in her swim suit. Niki was caught in the act while stuffing money into her diaper - how she decided that's what you do with money I'll never know.

Kyle took a ton more pictures, but here are the ones from dad's camera:

Brightyn's Home

It was our first and last chance to have everyone together for a while so we had a homecoming party for Brightyn. We all received cool gifts from Del Sol that change color in the sun. It was fun to be together.

Just for Dad

Tyler (and anyone else who really wants to see them of course)-

Here are the action shots of the girls jumping on the trampoline. They both love it when they lay on their stomachs and grandpa bounces them really high. WE LOVE YOU!!!
