Family Fun

This is the first weekend in a while where we have had nothing crazy going on. We were able to spend today together as a family and it was the best. It's always great when Daddy is home. We spent the morning watching Camilla's first dance "recitle". The girls were so cute. Camilla would wave and blow kisses while she danced across the room. She really enjoyed this session of dance. When she finished she ran over to us and Hyrum exclaimed, "CAMA! Give me a huuuuuug!"


While the kids napped, Mr. Stannix and I went to work cleaning out the creepy basement, sorting things and getting more packing boxes. We managed to get the whole desk in the office taken apart and more boxes filled. It finally feels real that we are moving. When the kids woke up, Mr. Stannix asked them what was missing in the office. Hyrum replied, "Gramma!". It was pretty funny. Since they napped for so long we took them to the park for some fresh air and sunshine. Even though it was late in the day, the weather was gorgeous. Mr. Stannix got some kite flying in and then played with the kids on the slide. They were so glad to have their Daddy playing with them. I stood enjoying the sand between my toes, and a wiggly baby in my arms watching my most favorite people. I loved seeing their smiles, the sun glistening off their blonde hair while the wind swept it away from their faces. I smiled at Hyrum's bare belly as he giggled down the slide in his Daddy's arms.


We finished off our evening at the park by checking out the water. Camilla thought it would be funny to splash Joe. His reaction was pretty cute. When everyone was tuckered out we picked up some fudgsicles and headed home to BBQ some chicken for dinner.


I finished off the evening a very happy lady. The children had strawberries and sugar for their bedtime snack. I sat on the chair across from Hyrum and admired him while he ate. He was sitting on the big couch in front of the window, the sun shining on the top of his head. I couldn't help but smile as he maneouvered a big strawberry into his mouth. He looked so cute, and I felt so blessed. There is nothing better than being surrounded by my family.
