Summer lovin' and 4th of July weekend!

These pics were on 2 separate evenings at about 8:45 pm... still in full playing mode.  Summer bedtimes are so hard!


After church chill time
Poor little Swayzie has been through so much!  She ended up in Primary Children's hospital for 3 weeks due to complications from her surgery meant to close up the soft spots on her skull.  She ended up with dangerous pressure on the brain and so they put a drain in and performed another surgery to open up space at the back of her skull to release the pressure.  Poor girl was so tough and so brave.  We felt so bad!  We all sure love that little girl.
Jade and I went up last Sunday to visit her at the hospital and it was a great visit.
Thankfully Swayz is home now and doing great!
We went to the Payson pool with Ashley Bloomfield and kids and we had a blast!  Ayla and Jade didn't want their snacking to be interrupted for a picture!
Why use a spoon when you have fingers!?
Sitting by each other at music time:)  and they loved watching the man chop down branches from the trees at the library!



Our 9:30 game quickly turned into a monsoon!  It was nuts how fast it all happened!  We were 100% soaked.  It was so hilarious and ridiculous we had to snap a pic.  I love my Thursday nights with these ladies

This 4th of July weekend was one to remember!  We got to see everyone on The Probst side, Styler side and Miller side!  It was awesome!
On Friday night Trevor and Lashel came up and spent the night!  We had a BBQ and Lainey was loving on Lashel
On Saturday morning we all went up to Midway to spend the day at Grandma and Grandpa Probst home for a huge family party!
Playing in their gorgeous backyard is the best






This girl could just move right in up there.  She was in heaven!  She's got her homemade ice cream, new pillow pet from Bethany, and a cup full of precious stones that Grandpa Probst gave her.  What more could she ask for!?

And all Grandma Probst wanted in return was to have her grandkids sing her Yankee Doodle!  So Lakrista, Sarah and I were nominated to teach them.... you can see our performance was very serious.


It was so much fun to have Trevor and Lashel around for another weekend!  
Thank you so much Grandma and Grandpa Probst for all the time and effort you put in to making it such an awesome day!  We love you!

Sunday morning we headed down to Oak City to spend the day at Kevin's!  And first things first.... Chickens!!!
They loved gathering eggs.  I think only 2 of these eggs actually survived to make it into the house haha
Jade was literally obsessed with the baby chicks and despite the 100+ degree temps in the coop she would've stayed there all day!



Tom and I took a ride on Kevin's new road bike!

And Sunday night we went to the annual Styler night before the 4th party!  It was so great to catch up with everybody!

And then we went to my parents for a firework show!  Marley about had a conniption!  He was freaking out over the fireworks like I've never seen haha
On Monday the 4th we went to the Delta parade!  The girls weren't that into getting candy so after a few pieces they just wanted to chill and watch.





Hahaha yes.....
Jade waving shyly at the "princesses"
Then we spent the rest of the day playing in the Miller's lush backyard!  It was so much fun!
Marley couldn't get enough catch in that enormous yard!
Cute little cousins!



We brought the water BB shooters and the kids all liked shooting Gampy!

That night we drove home before Delta's firework show but thankfully right in our own neighborhood was quite a legit show!  About every 3rd house had aerials!  It was fun just sitting out in our yard watching the fireworks!  This picture of Tom and Jade may be one of my favorites ever...
It was the best weekend full of non-stop parties with all our favorite people!  I am so thankful to live in this free country and I hope and pray that America will always be great!  Happy birthday America!


These 2 were cuddling sweetly and watching a show as I tried to sneak a picture but was caught by Jade so she hammed it up and gave her a big squeeze... it made for a better picture but it all ended in tears!  I should've left them alone haha
Swayzie turned the big 5 years old this week and we got to go to her Paw Patrol party!!
They each got to adopt a puppy and paint a puppy house for them!  It was so cute!

We picked out a cute Tutu for Swayz

On Thursday we went to the Springville splash pad with the Bunkers!   
Lainey was so funny and was so proud of herself for going under the arches of water!

Brittany was the cool mom of the day for buying them all lemonades!
These 2 are growing up so fast!!
