Rapunzel Birthday Party!

Eliza turned 5 on August 23rd...and she wanted to have a Rapunzel Party.

 The girls decorated braids with flowers to wear like Rapunzel.

 Then they played "hit Flynn Rider in the face with a frying pan!"

 After that they decorated lanterns.

 Then on to the cake!

 She was pretty excited for her big day!

 Showing her presents from Nana and Papa.

 Talia getting quite the hug from Eliza after she opened Talia's gift!

Then she found her present from mom and dad...a new bike!

 And lastly her Rapunzel tower pinata!

 Happy Birthday Eliza!

We love you so much!

Can't wait to see what this next year has to bring!

Some more Cocolalla...

We spent some time at Cocolalla with extended family in August this summer.  Uncle Ben and Christi came to visit all the way from Florida...and we had a great time!

 Eliza and Grandpa looking for fish.

 Eliza and Talia are the tubing queens now.

 I laugh every time I see this picture...but Eliza and Daddy had a good ride together!

 The only picture we took of Uncle Ben but it's one for the record books...he and dad getting ready for their tube ride!

 Uncle Dallin and Brayden.

 Daddy and his girls...they love the boat!

 Kayaking with Daddy.

 More tubing...

 ...Aunt Cassie and Eliza.

 A picture says a thousand words...good thing, because I have no words to describe this one.

 Sweet cousins.

 While this is a nice picture of Dallin...there is also a deer behind him to the right.

 Kylie's first tube ride!

 Talia caught a fish!

And so did Aunt Julie!

I've probably said it a million times but we love the lake house...and this summer has been great up there!

Summer time...

Our girls have spent a LOT of time in the water this summer between the slip n slide, pool, and the lake...and they love it!

 Daddy has to help "push" Talia down the slide.

 Just a little friendly conversation.

 Summer means relaxing.

 Eliza took swimming lessons back in the June.  It was cold most days of her 2 week session but she did great.

 Jumping off the diving board.

 Finding candy in the bottom of the pool on the last day of lessons.

 And more slip n sliding...

Oh summer...you've been fun...but you've gone by too fast! 

Salt Lake City...

On our way home from Bear Lake we took a pit stop in Salt Lake.  We had some lunch and walked around Temple Square.

Reunion time on the water...

We also spent a day on the water together...

 Mom and Dad on the jet ski.

 Me, Darran, and Talia...she loved going fast.

 Uncle Pepe helping build sand castles.

 Talia, Darran, and Eliza on the jet ski.

 Eliza figured out how fun it is to float in her life jacket.

We even had a talent show...Cassie, Eliza, Elayna, and Talia sang Teach me to walk in the Light.
