Sister Missionaries

Lilia and Elayna loves these missionaries.  I am grateful they are setting a great example for our girls. 

Chocolate Peanut butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I used this recipe as a base and added one ingredient. Left sprinkles off. PB2 powder is great!

Princess Panties

After showers tonight Elayna decided to put her panties on her head. They kept saying Princess Underwear!

We got them where they belong.

Lilia got a letter from her Kindergarten Teacher

The girls walked to mail box to get the mail with daddy. Lilia had a letter. No return address. She was excited to open the letter. I read the letter to her and she loved the pink feather. She was surprised that it was from her teacher. Very excited!

Here is the letter:

Dear Lilia, 

I am so tickled to have you in my class. We will have a great year together. See you soon! 

Mrs. -------

We got emails today from her teacher testing the emails we had given her. So far, I am pleased. I know my child will not be perfect but her teacher is just right for her.

Doggie Sitting

Lilia and Elayna are doggie sitting. They love Francesca! Our dog Mari loves playing as well. Thanks Aunt Annie for letting us watch Francie!

Swimming

We have been swimming a lot this summer. A friend lives close by and is our favorite place to swim. Lilia swims really well- jumps off diving board, goes down the slide, swims on bottom, hand stands, flips and everything else! Elayna loves her float but prefers to swim on her own. She can stand in shallow end on her tiptoes and have her mouth above water. She will swim full face in the water when she wants. She will take swim lessons this August and September.  She loves the water.

**They came down the slide one at a time and safe distance apart.

New School Playground

We went and checked out the school play ground. Lilia loved it and so did Elayna.  I am excited for Lilia but I am going to miss her!

Pioneer Day

We had a great time celebrating Pioneer Day with our church. We are thankful for our pioneer heritage. 

Trip to the Dentist

Today we went to the dentist.  The girls were great. They did not need me. I stood outside between the two rooms. I got a few pictures.

Girls Random sayings.....

Elayna said this morning, "Mommy, the sun is up!" She then repeated for daddy and Lilia.

Grandma and Grandpa R watched girls the other night while we went to temple. They went to park and as it got dark it got chilly and grandma asked Lilia if she was cold. Lilia said, "the cold never bothered me anyway" from Frozen.
