SUMMAH TIME!

Alrighty!!! It's been a while...soooo here is our Summer in a nut shell. It's been a good one.

-We went to St. Lucia and had many adventures. Myla experienced sand for the first time, got a diaper change on the back of a speed boat, and slept through us sprinting to catch a flight while strapped to Daddy's chest....I've never seen her limbs flail quite like that...

-Brian's business took off and things got CRAZY BUSY.

-Our little family moved into the most darling daylight basement apartment evahhhh! It suits our needs perfectly. The Callisters are ever so kind to let us rent out their lovely place.

-I got called to be a Scout Leader. WHOO WEEBLOS! Should make for some good stories, right?

-We took a SA-WEEET fishing trip with Grandpa Ostler. Myla had her own little tent and everything. It was a party.

-Myla has successfully grown two teeth and is working full time to grow the other 18....it's a work in progress. Oh and she also walks and stores food in her cheeks like a squirrel....it's disturbing. She also hoards socks...which is hilarious and dances ALL DAY LONG. She has a crippling fear of spiders. It's a total phobia. Proving that even tiny humans know those things are creepy...it's an instinct that is instilled in all of us.

-Myla and I went to California to take a five generation picture. It was amazing. Five generations of oldest daughters, all with blonde hair and blue eyes. We are so blessed to have these amazing women in our lives. We had so much fun!

-Lately Brian and I have been watching hours of goat videos or fail compilations on YouTube before we read scriptures, pray and go to sleep....I must say it's been a beautiful addition to our relationship.

-Our little family went to stay at our cabin in Island Park several times. Myla had her first taste of s'mores and LOVES it up there. Hands down my favorite place to vacation in the world.

-Brian and I had a Harry Potter marathon week in honor of Harry's birthday. We made a big fort (it was just like the tents at the Quidditch World Cup) that stayed up all week and each night we made 'magical food' and watched a Harry Potter movie while arguing about who loved Harry the most and knew those blessed books the best. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to make it a tradition. How else could we show our gratitude to Harry for saving us from Lord Voldemort? Oh, and although Myla was not allowed to watch the movies with us, she thoroughly enjoyed the tent and looked dang cute in her Griffindor onseie.

 

And there you have it, that's our little Summer of family love.
