Utah/Washington Trip

So basically there are a ton of pictures from our trips to Utah and Washington. I tried to narrow it down a bit....but we had lots of fun and my mom takes lots of pictures (which explains why I can't find any with her in them). I am too tired to organize them into any sort of order, so I guess you will get the gist by just scrolling through. Canning, cousin love, Point defiance Zoo, Puyallup Fair, hanging around with grandmas & grandpas, etc.

My mom, sister and I canned 8 boxes of peaches and 6 boxes of pears. Pretty much 3 days of straight canning....I admit that out of the 3 of us, I definitely got off easy. I wasn't there for the whole process b/c of other plans with in-laws and friends. I did help quite a bit though and am so thankful my mother has taught me that skill. Libby goes through a jar of peaches/pears about every week. Delicious.

Silly Girls in their matching dresses with Libby's doll also in a matching dress. These girls are so goofy. We couldn't get a picture of them both smiling. (well, one of Libby smiling at least, Laila is better at posing)

I don't know if you can tell, but Liberty's sweater has little Owls knitted into it with button eyes. It's probably the cutest sweater ever made. Her awesome Grandma Sue made it for her. Grandma Hill is planning on making a little jumper to go under it out of owl print fabric. When we get it, there will be more photo shoots.

Liberty put on a concert for us

Might not be the greatest picture, but here's us with the Serads (minus Zack)

The kids watching cartoons in the morning

Libby with Grandma Sue, showing off her awesome sweater grandma made

Liberty loved Magellan (my parents cat) and he was surprisingly tolerant of her. She is pretending to feed him cereal here.

Watching football with Grandpa

In preparation for the BYU football game, my brother Dan mowed BYU into his lawn. Sadly it didn't help them win

At the fountain park

Libby and Laila chasing poor magellan. While he was tolerant of Libby, he was not too keen on multiple children gaining up on him and chasing him. The kids were still delighted

Liberty and Magellan soaking up some sun. Libby is wearing her cool super hero cape and a tutu....

3 kids in a tub is maybe a little too crowded for Libby's liking. They look hilarious though

Liberty's new favorite person is her cousin Cody. We visited them in Utah before our washington trip and they walked around holding hands a bunch. It was adorable. She still talks about him. They are about a year apart.
