Family Outing

At This Is The Place, it's nice to look at that great view every once in a while.

Dinner at Cracker Barrel.
Katelyn's first okra, she loved it.

Darin playing with the kids menu.

Laundry Day!

We do all our laundry on one day. I bring out all the loads and Katelyn gets busy. I usually have to put my loads back together a few times. Sometimes it's necessary to wash her Mini Mouse that she sleeps with. One day I had to put it back in the laundry three times. I have to admit that she sure is cute when she pulls it out.

Lately

This little toy has magnets on it so Katelyn likes to wear it as a necklace.

This little girl likes reading booksby herself and with Daddy.

When I was a kid I remember that I would wear my shirt like this and act like I had long hair. I thought Katelyn would like to as well. She did.

Had a good time at Gardener Village.

Loves to get into the Ensigns.

Just being silly.

Katelyn likes to crawl around with things in her hands. Today it was my flip flops.

We went to Temple Square to see Darin at work.

Convenient Father's Day

Smith's had a sale on their Deluxe brand ice cream, so we got Darin's favorite. Mint Chocolate Chip! I took one bite of his and said, "It tastes like toothpaste mint, gross." Darin agreed and said, "Now you don't have to brush your teeth." Thank you Father's Day!!!

PS. I still brushed my teeth.


PSS. If I was Jimmy Fallon I would say it like this. Thank you Smith's Deluxe brand ice cream, for tasting like toothpaste. Now I don't have to brush my teeth.

Silly Katelyn

I was watching Katelyn and wondering what she was doing...

looking at herself. She is such a tooty. I put Katelyn to bed for the night. Then she started making a distress call...

Silly girl go to sleep.
