Gma and Gpa visit from CA

I thought I could finish blogging about July before August came, but I failed. Oh well.
Mid July, my parents came to town when my dad had a work conference in downtown SLC for a week. Hooray for visitors! McKenna warmed up to them quickly and LOVES playing with them!
One of the mornings they were here, Kenna and I "snuck" into their hotel pool. My mom came too of course.
It was a little too chilly for me, but we had fun! Please try ignore my bad posture and mini baby belly that looks more like chub. :)


Our last hurrah before they left was attending a Bees Baseball Game! It was a hot one!
Thank goodness our seats were in the shade!
Intently watching the game.
She liked clapping when everyone else did.
She also loved being passed down our row of seats to say hi to everyone.

The "Famous Chicken" also made an appearance that night. He was quite entertaining. McKenna enjoyed the mascots from a distance.
He even brought out some baby chicks.
The highlight of the night was when a young woman behind us gave McKenna her balloon flower! She was in heaven!

See what I mean by enjoying the mascots from a distance? When we tried to get her close for a picture, this was the result.


And then my camera battery died. I missed the most precious moment of the evening, but thankfully Dan took a picture on his phone...
Such a sweet thing to see. Come back soon Mom and Dad! We miss you and love you!

Webster Girl's Weekend- Part 2

(Part 1 was back in April when we made the "I Spy" bags, remember? And we have one more planned in Sept!)


We all arrived at the Nelson Family Midway cabin at 6:30ish (minus Sarah Jane- we missed you!). We had a yummy chicken curry dinner and then started our various projects and "fun things!" We also had an awesome thunder storm that night! We invited my sister to come this time too. She's an honorary Webster anyway. She brought some of her nail polish collection and painted a few sets of toes!
I mostly worked on a little sewing project: adding some trim to a dress that was a little too short. It took longer than I wanted/expected. But it turned out great! Sorry, no project complete pictures...
Most of us worked on making hair bows either for ourselves or our daughters.
Check out the spread of clips, ribbons, buttons, and flowers! All thanks to Sibber!
I decided to wear every single one I made the first night. Yeah, it was getting late.

Some of us also learned how to french braid! I was too busy sewing... maybe next time.
Ailin was on a roll!



The next morning, we had a delicious belgian waffle and fruit breakfast and then took a little surrey ride!
Some of the Webster boys were nice enough to come up and mow the lawn so we wouldn't have to. :) Ailin wanted to help afterall.
We continued to make hair bows all morning on the front porch. The weather was PERFECT! We had a delicious lunch of salad, rolls, and more fruit! Thanks girls for the bonding time! Can't wait for the Sept. one!

Lara's Photo Shoot

Our newest sister-in-law, Lara, is an aspiring photographer and needed some subjects to practice on. Dan's sister Sarah Jane and I quickly volunteered our girls! We couldn't be more pleased with the results! THANK YOU LARA! You did an awesome, awesome job!
If you want her contact info, please let me know!





The suckers at the end were a hit!





The pictures together with cousin Whitney (2 months younger).




I love McKenna's sandle tan line.

Still enjoying her sucker on the way home!
