and let the kids play.  we love

lyla, jax, and brittney!!!

iphone lens

i can put on my iphone to have a little

more fun taking pics with my phone.  

cailin and i played with the macro lens

the other day and here's what we came up with.

this spider was on our slide and was about

the size of my pinky nail just to give

you an idea of how detailed this little lens is.

preschool open house

a couple weeks ago c had a fun

time exploring her new preschool that 

she'll be attending in the fall.  she loved it.

and now asks everyday when she can go 

to school.  its gonna be a long summer.

they had a few classrooms set up so the kids 

could come in and play at several different

stations and do some hands on things.

 then we got to go outside on the playground.

of course this little train is the first thing she went to.

whitlock cousins

while we were in utah we got to get together with 

some of my family too.  my brother who lives in colo

drove over with his family, my dad flew in from cali,

and my youngest brother lives there in provo.  

it was the first time cailin was able to meet and play

with her whitlock cousins.  it was so fun to watch them all play.

she immediately took to carlie (9).  

they loved each other.

this is maddie (5), the girliest most fancy 

little girl i know.  her and cailin had fun

posing and being fancy together.

this is me with david's oldest (carlie) and youngest (bristol).

boy how i miss her.

all the kids at the hogle zoo.

monkey man parker (7).

this poor boy is sandwiched in between

a bunch of girls.  hes a super cool kid.

cailin was obsessed with push bristol in the stroller.

it was pretty obnoxious.  

papi cailin story time.

see them more often.  i miss them a whole lot.

and here's the whole gang right before we

left for the airport.
