More Cousin's in Utah

The middle of June Sami's little sister Maisy came for a visit and got to have a sleep over for a couple nights with us. Maisy gave Ella an early birthday present- a matching dress!

That same day the Reed's came into town just for the day.

The children found this little snake. It was quite the thrill for all of them.

Ethan was the bravest and caught the snake in some buckets.

Liam was afraid and tried scaring it off with some of his power ranger/iron man/hulk and spider-man moves!!

What is Ella wearing? Do I seriously let me kids leave the house looking like that? I guess so...

Trying to pose for a picture with the snake in the bucket proved to be harder Ethan thought.

(Matthew and Jack were upstairs playing and missed out on all of the fun with the snake)

Lilly was very interested in all of the excitement and was a little sad she was missing out.

After trying to contain Mr. snake for a while, we decided it was time to release him back into the wild.

But not before Ella and Maisy took a turn touching him.
Brave girls!

Yeah for cousin's! Everything is so much more fun with cousin's to share it with!

(The Reed's hit the road for Las Vegas, but this wouldn't be the last we would see them this trip ;)  )

Later that night hanging out in the HOT sun with some ice cream cones.

The girls loved playing with Lilly and she loved all of the attention she was getting from those big girls!

After a couple of days with Maisy, Aunt Karla (Sami and Maisy's Mom) came to stay for a couple days too!!

One of the nights Karla and Sami were nice enough to let Ryan go out on a date- ALONE- without any kids. Even Lilly this time.

It was glorious! 

I love these pictures of Ryan, he actually looks relaxed and happy.
I think that we need to get out more..............

Thanks ladies!!
