Gordon. Nicole. Mya. Carley. Lola: July 2017

Beauty & the Beast @ the AZ Broadway Theatre - it was AMAZING & someone got purposed to at the end which was really cool!

Carley's first professional play

We had lunch there & the girls thought it was so fancy

One of my all time favorite mom moments

Carley wanted to go to the Rainforest Cafe for her b-day so we ended up going after the play

We spent the 4th of July at the OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale! It was out first time & super cool. We even had lunch in the little cafe there.

Gift shop fun!

SHARKS!

Lola kept covering her eyes like this - so cute

Carley is Baptized!!

It was a wonderful day full of family & friends

We had a pizza lunch at out house after. It was a joint baptism with another girl in our ward so the program was split between families. Aunt Kayleen talked on the Holy Ghost, Nana Palmer said the closing prayer, Aunt Camille lead the music, all the kids sang the "I like to look for Rainbows" song - Carley & Victoria sang the first verse as a duet SUPER cute!, Grandpa Coach & Grandpa Moose were witnesses, & Gordon baptized & confirmed Carley a member of the church. Grandma Nae Nae helped beautify Carley's hair after she got dunked.

We had an extra special treat getting to have the Neff & Crandell families join us from out of state.

Carley at 8: she is the sweetest girl but she has this funny shocking morbid side. She is a peacemaker & plays with both of her sisters well. She has a huge soft spot for Lola. She loves doing hair, drawing, giving little gifts to her friends, is an excellent reader, loves to snuggle, is talented at playing the piano & acting, loves to go to everything/she is very social but is on the quite side. We love the heart of our family!

Lola riding horses at Nana's - we spent a lot of time in Taylor this summer. Mandi's family was in town all summer before moving to Guam so we went up to visit as much as possible.
