Payton's New Do

A couple weeks ago I took Payton to get her haircut. She looks very cute and I often catch her shaking her head back and forth letting her hair hit her in the face. I think she likes it! People keep asking why I only cut Payton's hair. Since finding out we were having twins, I've always worried about them having their own identities inside and out. And for some reason I just always imagined Payton with short hair and Ellie with long!

Farewell Boyles...

In June we said goodbye to our good friends the Boyles.

We are definitely sad they're so far away now, but wish them well over the next few years in Buffalo!

And at least we got this last picture of

Jake and Max holding hands!

Neil and Craig may have held hands a few times, but I don't have that documented. They did though, drive together from Las Vegas to Buffalo, NY in two days. They stopped in Kirthland and went to Palmyra to see some of our church's historic sites.

The Kirtland Temple

The Sacred Grove, Palmyra NY.

The Smith cabin, where Joseph Smith grew up.

The Palmyra Temple in the background.

Where the first copy of the Book of Mormon was printed.

Neil really enjoyed going to these places and took some pretty good pictures, considering he only had his phone! They also went to Niagara Falls, but only the US side as he also forgot his passport!

At least he made it there, and back.

Max's Baseball Highlights

This video is over two minutes long,

so we won't feel bad if you don't actually watch it.

But for those of you who love baseball

or just love Max enough...here you go!

Baseball!

From April to June Max played his first season of baseball. It was coach pitch and Max did great! We had a really fun time going to all of his games and Max loved playing, of course. Here are my favorite pictures:

If you can see in this picture, the kids are all doing their "pooping in the woods" stance. This may have been my favorite thing, when the first batter came up, the coach would tell the kids to get ready and they'd all do this!

Stay tuned for the upcoming video montage (hopefully soon!).
