Isla- Lila Make Up Tutorial

 Most mornings when the big kids are at school this little lady and I try and get things done around the house or run errands.
Some mornings, like today, we just need to hang out in our PJ's and be silly.
She decided that she was going to show me all of her make up and give me a little tutorial on how to apply her fake make up. ;)


  She's always so careful and thoughtful about her application. 


 She is such a girly- girl and I absolutely love it!
With her it's always lipstick, nail polish, glitter and hair bows.
I think in a world where we are told we can be anything, we forget to just be girls.


 Eye shadow is her most favorite.



 She explained what everything was and where to apply it.
Of course pink is her most favorite color.


I love spending time with my baby, although she's not much of a baby anymore.
I'm sure these are the mornings I will treasure forever.

June

 Random Photos from June!



 The girls found Snapchat and became obsessed with all of the silly faces!
Sweet chubby Rosie!
I wish I could get my eyeliner on that well..

 Testing out Ella's new camera before girls camp

 We couldn't tell where Ella's hair ended and where Scarlet's hair started.
Ella's hair color has never changed. Ever. Its the same exact color as the day she was born..

 Jack is still obsessed with cars. He has been since birth.
So many stories about Jack trying to get into cars and trying to drive them.
 What's he going to be like when he's actually old enough to drive one?

He loved checking out a local car show!

 Jack needed a headshot for soccer.. this is all we could come up with.
Sweet, sweet boy.

 Jack started doing some one on ones with his coach, Mario.
Trying to improve as much as he can

The summer season started! I love watching him play outside, it's his favorite too

 When he's not playing.. he's watching... well, sometimes. Go REAL!

 I got a new lipstick... it made me look like a weird Barbie doll.. no thank you. More play make up for the little girls.

 Sometimes I find that the girls have gotten into bed with each other in the night.. although I have no idea why they would want to. How do you sleep like that? Poor Isla!


Sometimes I look at my kids and realize that they have had a growth spurt.
Jack has been looking so tall lately.
The days of long but the years are short.
Soon enough he will be taller than me.

 After an extremely windy soccer game, you need an extremely large donut.
Plus their cookies and cream milk tastes like melted ice cream


 Bizzy was over.. it's crazy how different siblings can be. I tan, she freckles.


We celebrated fathers day.. a day early. 
We cheered on Mexico in a Mexican restaurant. It was very entertaining. 

 Sweet Lilly.. close enough



 On fathers day we all went up the canyon and gave the men in our lives some gifts and some good food.
A pretty good day.


 The aftermath of Ella's party.. Everyone is sad when their party is over.

 With summer really here we've been spending a lot of time at Seven Peaks, the perfect place to enjoy summer!

 First ever Mochi!

 With summer here, that means there are lots of fun markets, carnivals and fun red Mexican bouncy donkeys.

 Why not!?


 After thinking about it a while.. it's been about 15 years since I really did anything different with my hair color. I surprised Ryan by going BLONDE!
I will admit, it took several days to get used to it.. but I think I'm going to like it!

Midsummers!

 Growing up we always celebrated our Swedish heritage. 
I loved it growing up and now I get to take my kids to learn about and celebrate their heritage too.

The girls were so excited for these "donuts". Although they weren't exactly what they thought.. they ate most of them.



 I love looking through the little "market" at all of the different Swedish things.
So many remind me of my Grandma and the different snacks she had at her house growing up.



 My Mom's college roommate Christina is from Sweden! It was nice to them to catch up



 The girls especially loved decorating with the leaves and flowers.
Lilly actually pretty good at it too.


It was neat to see my Dad.. he really took everything very seriously and helped all of the other men carry and set up the May pole!








 Then it was time for dancing!
Again, I loved seeing my Dad really get into it.
Dad, Neinah and Jack had a blast dancing to all of the songs.
They might not have known all of the words.. but they figured out all of the actions.
My favorite is the song about the pigs and the frogs!











 Someone was hot and cranky.. Isla was too.


 Love my pretty girls!








 Face paint and the fish game are always a favorite!
Jack loves his new hat.. and that he matches Grandpa.

Glad Midsommar!!

Instead of paying a ton of money to eat the authentic Swedish meal at the park, we opted for the air conditioned, cost effective Ikea dinner! Which was wonderful!
Glad Midsommar!
