Before Utah


It seems like the month between the end of the worst semester of dental school and our month long trip to Utah in June was a complete blur. I know we played some volleyball, went for lots of walks with friends, hit up the zoo a few times, and spent a lot of time out at the park. I have no pictures any of it so you'll have to take my word for it. What I can prove...

 These two started interacting with each other a lot. Kenzie has always smothered Clara but it started to be reciprocated a bit.
The days of them sharing a room without issues completely ended! Mackenzie loves to climb into bed with Clara and she's known to wake her up as much she can. They also can't fall asleep together as they just want to stay up until midnight playing.


 Kenzie did a little tumbling class with my friend Kassie. She absolutely loved it. I can't say that she was always attentive or showed great aptitude but she did better than I expected and let Miss Kassie help her with most of the elements.
Right before we left, Elder Bradford stopped by to say goodbye. Keith's been the ward mission leader for a little over a year and Elder Bradford served in our ward for about 9 months so we knew him pretty well. We've been lucky to have several good elders lately who have finally motivated (harassed) me to finish my mormon.org profile. Keith's was done months ago of course, I just had a hard time sitting down and doing it. I'm so glad I finally took the time to finish it. It's always good to ask yourself those basic questions of "Why am I a Mormon?" and "How do I live my faith?"

Being Belle



Our friends saw this dress at a yard sale and thought of us. A phone call, a little bartering and $1 made us proud owners of a dress that retails for more than anything in my closet. Kenzie couldn't have been more excited to receive such a beautiful dress. It's deals like this that keep me out on Saturday mornings and make me grateful for friends with boys:)
