Summer activities

Summer is just flying by here! We don;t do to much, but we have done a few things.
Mckinley loves to crawl under the desk when I'm sitting at it working on the computer. She thinks she's pretty funny!
The kids enjoying playing on the iPad and watching shows on the iPad. I just loved that they were sitting on stools at the counter watching a show on the iPad. Doesn't seem comfortable to me. 
Playing princess and more iPad
Mckinley about ready to fall asleep
A few weeks back we had a few really hot days. We headed to the
park with some friends for a bit, then we headed over to the library. It was a lot cooler in the library.
The kids had fun playing in the kids area.
Then we got slurpee's then headed to the Toutai's to play in the sprinklers. 
I am constantly seeing pictures of the 3 new babies in our family I love it! The first picture is Olivia and Stockton interlocking their arms cause they are already BF cousins. (hehe) The second picture is Hinckley just being cute as ever.
Sad that she got left with her cousins to play will mom and dad went to the temple with Aunt Kelsey
We got to take a quick trip to Oroville for a couple of days and spend time with family. Tracie, John and Cedar came into town from Alaska. Cedar and Mckinley are about 4 months apart. They don't quite play good together yet, but they will when they are a little older. 
Just a cute picture of Mckinley in her swimming suit.

Mckinley Photo Shoot

Our big 1 year old! My good friend Melanie Toutai took a few shoots of Mckinley for me so that I could at least document her 1 year birthday! She wasn't thrilled so we didn't get a ton of shots, but she did capture lots of Mckinley's cute little faces that she makes. I just love these and appreciate Melanie for taking these pictures and editing them for me.

Mckinley's 1st Birthday Celebration

We didn't do anything huge for Mckinley's birthday, but we celebrated as a family. We had dinner, open presents, and ate cake. I made chocolate zucchini brownies/cake for her. She loved it! 
Crazy kids! Mckinley definitely got spoiled for her birthday!

My girlies! I feel like they both have their own look and Mckinley looks more like Payton. They are both definitely gorgeous to Josh and I. 
Mckinley got to open 2 gifts first thing in the morning. Scarlett gave her a baby doll that has a pacifier and plays music, and Payton gave her a princess baby that crawls. 
Our big 1 year old. 
Durring the day we headed to the park by our house and let the kids play. The toutai's gave also and the kids had a blast. 
Mckinley liked watching the kids play and she walked around but she didn't love if she actually got wet.
Birthday girl!
She got two birthday cards in the mail from her great grandma's. 
This little girl and all her silly faces she makes!
Once Josh got home from work Mckinley open the rest of her presents!
She was very cute to watch open her gifts. She would rip a little off then hand that piece of paper off to someone. Payton and Scarlett had a hard time resisting the urge to help her. I think she was just too slow for them and they were so excited for her to see her gifts!
She got a few little toys and then we got her this bike. Its perfect for her. She can sit and ride for now and as she gets bigger parts come off and it will end up being just a tricycle that she can ride on her own. My baby girl is just growing crazy! I doesn't seem like it was a year ago. She is a joy in our family and we each love and adore her so much!!!
