Princess Festival 2010

Mara was sooo excited for this years Princess Festival.

she had been talking about going since we lefts the festival last year.

This year we had Jonah and Jackson with us, I think the boys thought it was pretty dumb.

Mara loved it and that is all that matters.

down on the farm

the beginning of June Annie and the girls came to Utah on their way to California ( new home state)

well while they were here, We decided that wse should go to Wheeler Farm. Shanny, Dawson, Logan-his friend, Oliver, Annie, Melia, and Sophie and me and my two little kiddos headed to teh farm for a nice relaxing day. I love spending time with my sisters, I wish I could spend time with ALL of my sisters all of the time.
