The Harper's: Summer Highlights

Summer is officially over. And I am sad. The Mr. and I had a great time working 40 hours a week and only seeing each other in the evenings. Ok, just kidding. We hated that part....but we were able to sneak away on a few trips. I'll just give you a recap of some of the partying we did.

Nic and Janey came up for a quick trip from Provo to hang out with us for the weekend. (Because we're so cool.) So...we went up to Yellowstone Park for the day, and had a grand ol' time.

The boys bought matching t-shirts, so we decided to buy matching coats...NOT.

Happy Birthday to My Mom AND Dad.

July is always a fun month for our family because we are lucky enough to celebrate BOTH of our loving parents' days of birth. Oh, and birthdays in our family are a BIG DEAL.

So... we ventured off for a little fun in the sun at Seven Peaks. There wasn't too much sun...but it sure was FUN. Love this family of mine.

Thanks for laughing at my jokes, Oscar.

Love my mama.

Twinners.

CaLiFoRNiA.

In the beginning of August we got to fly out the land of sunshine with the Harper clan. The whole...going to DisneyLand, and playing on the beach, uh-mazing weather, and laying out by a FABULOUS pool...thing was definitely my cup of tea. We were sad to leave and get back to the real world, but we left a few shades darker, and with lots of wonderful memories made.

We left our tickets at home....

Cutie patooties.

She was OBSESSED with the tide pools.

I looove my handsome hubs.

Playing on the beach is NOT complete without burying someone in the sand and making them look like a mermaid.
Ahem, merMAN.

Honestly though. She's a doll.

Labor Day Weekend

My cousins Summer and Mark blessed their sweet baby girl Adley this weekend. It was fun hanging out with the family, eating yummy food, and of course kissing on this sweet girl. I love her SO much!

The weekend before school started, my Aunt Becky and Uncle Art brought their wonderful daughter Lexie up to school. They were nice enough to put up with us for a few days and it was great seeing them! (I promised Becky I'd give her a shout out on here. :) We certainty don't see them as much as I want to.

After Lexie got all settled, we drove down to Utah with them so we could catch up with my parents.

(We made a pit stop at a fruit stand in Brigham City for some of their famous peaches...YUM!)

The boys spent an afternoon at the BYU game, and the ladies shopped like it's hot at the City Creek mall....and of course stopped at Blue Lemon for lunch. It was a lovely afternoon that ended all too soon. (Boo for not getting ANY pictures.)

But this is how cute their family is...
