Island Park

 Chris sent me this picture of Rhett standing up to pee at a urinal for the first time ever when Chris took him to the bathroom on our drive to the cabin in Island Park

 Rhett's first time surfing with Daddy

Rhett being really brave and cliff jumping

Rhett:

After clogging the toilet, "When I was trying to reach my hand back and flush, it just went boom and blasted! I went so many poop! It was way too many poop!"

After tasting BBQ chips for the first time, "They taste like meat. My BBQ chips taste better than any-hing. They tasted like pig."

Mia:

"Our house stinks! Ugh! So many toots!"

Rhett: "Why can't we go far away?"

Mia: "There's tons of far away places we can't go... like England, and Peru, and Franch."

Bitter Family Reunion

Cutest little yoga session EVER

All the kids falling asleep one night in front of our outdoor movie projected onto the shop garage.

 At our fun summer cousin party that Ryan and Lynnae threw :)

 Rhett and Levi thinking that it was the most hilarious thing ever that they dressed up like "Grrrss!" (Rhett's way of saying girls.)

Chris took Rhett to a summer league Jazz game. Rhett's first time, and he really had fun, he just wasn't having this picture.

Rhett:

This sweet boy has had some diarrhea issues lately. The first time it happened was pretty sweet and sad at the same time. I heard Rhett yelling from the bathroom "Help mom! I'm so sorry mom!", because he didn't know what was going on and he thought he was making a big mess (which he really wasn't). He's just so sweet though.

After Chris had asked him a bunch of times to change out of his church clothes after we'd gotten home from church, Rhett said, "This is my problem dad. Don't worry about it, it's my problem."

"Can we go to Grandpa Murphy's?" (talking about Papa Murphy's)

Mia:

This year I went to Girls Camp and had to leave my whole family for the first time since I've been married to Chris. It was kind of heart-breaking, but I had fun with the girls too. While I was getting ready to leave, I was explaining to the kids what was going to happen, and then I put them to bed. After a while, Mia came out with some clothes to show me and asked, "Mom, does this match?" When I told her it did, she said, "Ok, I'm just asking because I want to be ready for tomorrow. Cause daddy doesn't know if things matches." 

When Mia was holding her baby cousin Dashel, she told me "Whenever he gets sad I will rock him. When I grow up I just want to be a mom always."
