Memorial Day weekend we headed down to Provo to decorate the graves of
our family members who are buried in the Provo City Cemetery.
The girls love to put flowers on the graves ~ and even took some time to brush off the
headstones of a few of our relatives.
One of my ancestors buried in Provo is Martha Ann Smith Harris, the daughter of
Hyrum Smith. She is my great(3x's) grandma. She married William Jasper Harris Sr., who is buried next to her.
We love to find their burial site at the cemetery ~ and it's so cool to see their names carved in that really neat headstone.
After our visit to the cemetery, we stopped by BYU.
I mean, really...... how could we go to Provo and not stop at the Y?
Future cheerleaders, perhaps? :)
Little Miss Ky adores her baby sister and LOVES me to take pictures of the two of them
together any chance she can. I can't believe how big they are both getting!!
Camry is our little WATER BUG! She loves water!!! I love this picture of her drinking out of the sprinkler in the backyard. She couldn't get enough!
And, of course she does not care if she gets soaking wet with her clothes on.
She jumped right in the pool and loved every second of it!
In June, Kylie turned EIGHT! Crazy, uh?
We had a family birthday party for her and I think this was by far her
very favorite (and least expensive!!) present.
Who would have thought that a package of plain white paper would make a girls dream come true??
Some of her favorite friends came over to play and celebrate with her.
We tie dyed t-shirts, ate pizza and roasted marshmallows.
This is a picture of the girls with some of their friends taking a break from the
water party we had the next day.
~ Kylie's Baptism ~
Kylie was SO lucky to have so many family and friends at her baptism!
Getting baptized is such a special occasion and to have so many loved ones there just makes it that much more special and wonderful!
I can't even tell you how grateful I am that I am married to a man worthy to bless my children!!!
Grammy and Grandad were able to drive out from Missouri for her special day!! We love having them come and visit any chance they can, but are so grateful for the time they took to come out just for Kylie and show her how special she is to them.
We were also super lucky to have Aunt Casie, Uncle Miah and Brock come too! They live in Missouri and just happened to have a trip scheduled to Utah the same week that Ky got baptized. She was SOOOOO excited when I told her they were going to be able to come too. She has a special place in her heart for Uncle Miah and his Elmo voice. :)
(I had to swipe this picture from their blog. Thanks, Case!)
We also had Grandma and Grandpa Harris, Uncle Bryan (Aunt Jessica and Jaidyn couldn't come), Uncle Casey, Aunt Lisa, Baby Roman, Uncle Mike and his super cute friend, Amanda.
Yet another swiped picture. (Thanks, Lisa!)
Uncle Bry
Mike and Amanda...entertaining all the little kids with a game of "Duck, Duck, Goose."
Thanks for keeping them busy!! :)
Ky and her buddy, Kailen.
These two are inseparable!
Taylor can usually be found in the nearest tree. Even if she's wearing a dress.
Love that smile and those big beautiful eyes!!!
My girls LOVE their uncles!
Any chance they get, they attach themselves to one of them and don't let go.
Camry and her semi-cheesy face. This picture of her doesn't really do it justice -
but Grandpa is sure doing a good impression of her!

Thanks for the update!!
love the pictures. i would say i love a girl who is happy with a ream of paper. One of my favorite sayings is "happiness is a #2 pencil and clean sheet of paper"
Love them! Especially the future-cheerleaders picture! And Alex will be getting a ream of paper for his birthday too.
