We blessed Skylar this weekend and now that it's over I feel like a lot of added stress has been lifted. Aahhh! The weekend was nice. Our yard got finished just in time (thanks to our neighbor James Dotson). Brianna strolled in town by Sat. afternoon and ran last minute errands with me before Sunday. Elicia and Kris and their two kids showed up that night, and my mom, dad and two of my other sisters (Sierra and Shawna) came but got in town just before they had to be to Tuacahn to watch Les Miserables (which I heard is wonderful and we need to go see it)! We had church at 9am on Sunday, and had a great turn out with family and friends (thanks for all the support)! Brad gave an absolutely beautiful and sweet blessing to Skylar. Don't tell any one, but I love when Brad shows his sensitive side. It makes me love him even more. Thanks hun for that wonderful blessing you gave our fourth little girl. We had lots of people at our home for a luncheon. I am so glad that Chantel and Jake were also able to make it down, as well as everyone else who made it that I have not mentioned.

24th of July
So the 24th was pretty low key for us besides the fact that we were trying to finish our back yard landscaping for Skylar's blessing that weekend. 
We invited Devan and Shanell over for a small BBQ then decided to go swimming at Papa and Grandma's before we went to watch fireworks.
Grandma and Papa were in Chicago having a fun time watching a Cubs baseball game that day so they weren't there. We went and picked Grandma-Great up so she could watch the fireworks with us.
The kids sure did have a lot of fun. Thanks for comin' with us Devan, Shanell and Taylee and Grandma-Great. It would not have been as fun without you guys!

Brinly's swimming lessons
Brinly started swimming lessons for the first time on the 14th thru the 25th. She was so excited to be finally starting them since the summer is almost over. What the heck took me so long? I guess it was the fact that I was pregnant and due in the middle of June and just wasn't up to running Brinly (with all of the girls) to lessons just yet. But needless to say, she finally got to go to swimming lessons atleast once this summer. She did so well that next time she'll be able to advance to the next level. Yah!!
Convention in Vegas
After the 4th, we went to Vegas for the annual Mckesson Convention. The final night event was a dinner and concert with LeAnn Rimes. We're not quite sure how well the girls enjoyed that, but I got to hear a few songs before the girls got too worn out! 
4th of July
I know this is totally late, but I thought I should do a month update since I haven't added anything for a month. So here we go at the beginning of July starting with the 4th. We did a few things that day, but I forgot to take pictures until the end when we were watchin fireworks.
We went swimming and took the girls to Wall-E. We had lots of fun!
