I haven't posted in a while so I am making up for it with three posts today. I have the cutest video too but I can't get it to upload. I wonder if it is to long...... any suggestions..... I also can't get the date to show and it keeps saying "undefined" after the title of my post. I am new to this whole thing and will take any advice I can get!



Now on to the good stuff! We are having such a great summer together. Here are a couple of pictures that Ryan took while we were hanging out one night. He is exploring his talents as a photographer so anyone in need of a FREE photo shoot give him a call. He would love the practice.






Piper is still in the cooing and smiling stage. She is so much fun to watch and snuggle. She loves to watch lights and TV and has slept through the night for the past 5 days!!!! She is a very easy going baby. Lucky Me!



Tripp has been such a great helper this summer. This picture shows him helping his daddy with their daily watering. He loves to swim, dance, read books, and talk to his baby sister. His vocabulary is still growing at a rapid rate. We now have to be VERY cautious of what we say in front of him!

The other night we were outside and a horse pulling a wagon drove by. Tripp started screaming
"horsey arrr arrr". It took me a second glance at the horse to realize what he meant. The horse had black eye shades on that resembled pirate patches. Tripp saw his first pirate horse right here in Payson Utah! Everytime he tells the story I chuckle! Lucky Me!

He is so proud of his little sis. As you can see, she can get a little overwhelmed with him. Her eyes are constantly bugging out by his boistorous voice. The first thing he does when he wakes up is find Piper and talk to her. It is so dang cute.


Tripp and Piper share a common trait with Ryan. They all love watching TV!

Neeley, Piper and Marshall

Getting dressed wore Piper out!

Piper was blessed on Sunday June 28th. She looked absolutely beautiful in her blessing dress and knitted cap. I had to put a bow in her hair later so that she could show off all that hair! Piper is obviously loved because we had a lots of family and friends there to support her. My brother Marshall gave Piper her blessing, he did a wonderful job.

I was excited to take this picture and post it. Four generations are not all that uncommon but four generations of girls is uncommon for us! My grandmother Lois had seven children the oldest being my mother (Lori) the only girl! I am the only girl and now we have Piper!
