Howcroft Family: July 2013

Pictures of our kids

My favorite picture ever. These girls love their brother and I am in love with the smiles in this picture.

Followed closely by this picture. Can you get over Kirsten's face? And Timothy's? It was just short of torture for him to have this picture taken so lots of credit goes to him for smiling!

Love the sweet smiles in this picture

Kirsten Sue age 5

Audrey Camilla 3 years 10 months

Timothy Monson 6 months (28 days)

Sisters

Our sweet son

And this picture. True to their personalities 100%

Fun with the Coopers

With the Coopers in town we had lots of fun. We...
Pulled Allie's teeth

Saw Despicable Me 2 in the theater

And swam every chance we could

Saturday Camille and I woke up before the sun to take the girls to California.
In LA the girls bathrooms really do have couches!

First we went to the American Girl Store

Where we had a fancy lunch with our dolls

Then we went to Downtown Disney

Abigail, Kirsten, Allie, Audrey

Then the beach

And everyone slept really well on the way home

The Coopers came to Vegas to celebrate the 4th of July with us. We met friends at the church for a bike parade and water balloon fight in the morning. We went swimming twice during the day. We made Camille her ideal American meal of fried chicken, cole slaw, biscuits, corn on the cob, watermelon and apple pie. It was delicious! That evening we watched fireworks from our house and did a few sparklers.

Just another day in Vegas

Proudly doing moms hair

Pool boy

This boy loves the water! We could sit in his swim float all day. Isn't he so handsome! He makes me melt!

Brinkerhoff Reunion

My family had a reunion near Manti at the end of June this year. We camped up the nearby mountain for 3 nights and attended the Manti pageant Friday night. Poor Timothy was in the thick of teething and didn't have the best time, but he was still pleasant and we got way more sleep with him teething at 6 months than we did with Audrey at 2 years...not to point fingers. ;)
The girls loved spending time outside, making smores, and running around with cousins. We hiked to a waterfall and spent lots of time playing in the river. It was fabulous reunion, we can't wait for next year!
