July 2013

Happy birthday America!!! My most favorite holiday-- Independence day. There is something so special about that holiday for me. I love being patriotic! We live in the most amazing country in the world. 
Also, more summer fun. Lots more outdoor activities. We went camping in the Uintas with the Peterson's. It was very fun, but would have been slightly more enjoyable had the babies all slept through the night and if Scarlett hadn't tried running off in every which direction (streams, woods, dirt etc...)! Maybe if I didn't have this huge bump on my belly, chasing her around would have been easier;). 
We enjoyed another trip to Moab. Hotter than heck, but some good family time. We ate yummy food, did a fun hike and spent some good time in the pool. 
We are thoroughly enjoying the heat. Minus the fact that I'm getting huge as this boy grows inside of me and I'm constantly sweating like a pig... Happy summer though!

Rained out. Eating in a jam packed motor home!

We decided camping with babies is not the easiest...

This girl loved rubbing dirt all over the place!

Happy girl at my doctors appointment. All the staff at the clinic adore Scarlett. They get excited every time I bring her. She entertains them all! My little performer.

Just being a good mom and cleaning baby's ears.   


Beautiful Summer and beautiful Rhea

Welcome Baby Rhea Lihe Raspopi!

On June 21st, we received another sweet little angel in our family. Summer and Eldis had their first, precious baby girl on a Friday evening. She was (and is) perfect in every way. She even made sure it was a quick and east delivery for her mama;). This little peanut radiates a special and serene spirit. She has brought so much joy to our family and we love her to pieces!

June 2013

We love summer time!! This was an especially special month. We welcomed a new cousin which I will devote a separate post to.

We got to overnight babysit cousins Beck and "Paiseee", Nonna and Papa Rock came for a nice long visit which resulted in lots of good family time. We did lots of trips to parks and pools along with other great summer activities this month. Lastly, Scott and I had a little overnight get away to the Zermatt Resort in Midway to celebrate our 4th anniversary. We had so much fun with some R&R and alone time.

Over nighter with some of the Bugs best friends

Glued to Beck, as always.

Check out our new pool!

Loves from her buddy Lily


Water colors. Go to town on my face baby girl!

How could you possibly have a better summer? Swimming, painting ourselves in water colors and a Popsicle.

Kissy face for daddy

We were meant for each other

Light reading in the car

Daddy likes to scare us both...

Off in the distance is my independent little bug. Just checking out the splash pad.

She's the kind of kid that will steal your lunch...

Always has to have her "Ellie's" with her
