Cousin reunion.

 There happened to be a lot of my Quinn cousins in-town this weekend so Tiffany hosted a little family cousin get together.

 My uncle Vaughn and Aaron.

 Heather Hayes, Jacob Quinn.

Wedding.

I was feeling a little under the weather today so Gregg go Norah ready for our trip to the temple to see my cousin Bailee get married ... at the temple I grabbed Norah from the back seat to nurser her to find that Gregg had put her dress on backwards ... first of many times I am sure.  So cute. Had to document it.

My dad with his mom.

My grandma checking out Norah.

I was so happy to see my grandma Quinn at the temple.  She hasn't been doing well since my grandpa passed almost a year ago.  I didn't think she would make the trip to Utah.

Four generations.

My dad, his mom, me and Norah.

Smitten.

Here comes the happy couple.

Beautiful flowers.

I had to take this picture of my cousin Jacob holding his wife's diaper bag ... I immediately texted it to my family.  We have this "Quinn Boy" philosophy on our men holding our bags for us.

I seriously love this couple

Bailee is quiet a bit younger than me {so we didn't really "play" together as kids} but she lived with our family last summer and we grew close during that time.  She left our house at the end of the summer all geared up to serve a mission - she even received a mission call!  Last fall she brought this darling boy Tharen to another cousins wedding and I knew then that she was a goner.  They are the most darling couple to be around and I wish them ALL the love and success and happiness in the world, they deserve it.

This family was known as our "Rigby Quinn" cousins growing up.

I love them all and was SO happy to be with them all today.

Leaving the reception tonight I 'stole' my nephew Enoch to come spend a few days at our house ... I had to take this picture and text his mom ... he is caring my bag for me.  It's a Quinn boy things I tell you - its a real thing.

Love and Logic.

I just finished a month long Love and Logic class that was SO GOOD.  As silly as this may sound it was totally an answer to some prayers I have had lately regarding my parenting {our parenting}.  Tuesday nights right during bed time was an awful time to have to leave my family for class .. but we managed and it was worth it.  Gregg put the kids to bed while I took the class and then I would come home and we would talk about what I learned and what ONE thing we were going to work on that week.  It ended up being a really successful way of doing things.

Gregg and I took a Love and Logic class several years ago so it was time for a refresher.  I was surprised how many Love and Logic strategies we were still using.  And I can honestly say things changed around 100% in our house over the last month :) SO HAPPY.

24th of July.

 I started off the 24th of July holiday with the annual Charleston 10K with my friend Tami.

 It was a beautiful morning and a great run - it felt really good.

Tami got first place for her age group :)  Benefits of being in the 40 club!

 I was so proud of her.

 I made her pose for a picture!

We discovered the cutest home-town parade just down the road from where we live.

Our friends kids' were recruited by the mayor to be in the parade.

I think the parade was made-up entirely of 4-wheelers, tractors and bikers.

One of my best friends from you Rick's collage days came to town with her family and WE got to spend the afternoon with them :)

Katie and Rendall Hendrickson and family.

It's always fun to catch up with friends.

Pete was darling watching the parade.

"ya" and clapping.

Katie has 4 girls who my boys all adore.

I LOVE this friend of mine.

After our own little sparklers show we went back to Charleston to watch their fireworks and they did not disappoint for such a small town.

I love this holiday! And I love this quilt my mom made!

We had a big beautiful day.

Thank you Pioneers.
