summer fun!

Well it has been forever since I updated, so this is just going to be a ton of pictures from the past 2 months. It has been such a whirlwind with having Lucy, then going to Utah and coming back for a bit then off to Hawaii. It has all been super fun, but crazy!!! I had to do this now because in 2 days we are off again to California for another wedding, so if I waited any longer I think I would have way too much to catch up on and it would never get done.

My brother Jake decided to get married in Hawaii! So what better excuse to make a little vacation of it. It was obviously way too much $ to bring the girls, so Aaron's mom made this all possible for us by coming out here to take care of the girls. They had so much fun having Grandma all to themselves. Of course we had Lucy with us, but other than her there were no grandkids on this trip, so we could just go go go. We packed as much as we possibly could into that week. No time for sleep, there was way too much to do. It was soooo fun!

For being in Hawaii, there were a lot of people in the wedding party!

Grandma and Grandpa with the little wahine!!

love this picture!

Seriously Summer was so perfect for a Hawaiian wedding. She looked like a Hawaiian princess with her gorgeous long black hair. They got some awesome and crazy pictures, these were 2 of my favorites that we had, but I know others got some underwater ones and other fun shots. It was an incredibly fun and beautiful wedding.

A bunch of us jumped in before them to make sure Summer didn't drowned with that huge dress on.

Last day as a single man.

Our house was right off of our favorite beach....POUNDERS!! It was all just too perfect.

Da bruddahs

We had to do some shopping at the swap meet even though it can be so hot and draining, the girls never want to take their Hawaiian dresses off, so it was all worth it.

YUMMM

I felt like I was constantly laughing on this trip, it was so much fun with my brothers, sisters and in laws there. We sure missed Jodi, Justin, and Josh though.

We celebrated our 7th anniversary out there! Couldn't have chosen a more perfect place.

INBETWEEN VACATIONS

Auntie Julz came down for a visit, the girls love her!

More swimming days

Lucy is already over 2 months old, crazy how fast time goes once they are out.

We had a phenominal garden this year thanks to Aaron's hard work in getting a sprinkling system and drip system in, everything stayed alive while we were gone for once.

BEAR LAKE

Everyone got to meet Lucy. I felt like I hardly had a chance to hold her cause she was passed around so much

Where to begin....

So I realize this was like 3 weeks ago, but I already had put these pictures on here just didn't have time to write anything before we left for Utah, so I figured I would share the hospital pictures anyway and then start on our vacation.

I know most of you heard the story, but here's a quick recap. I went past my due date like always so I was scheduled for an induction on July 1st (10 days past my due date) at 6 a.m. The thoughts of another induction kept me up so many nights those last couple days, so I got desperate and tried a million different self induction ideas. I finally had just accepted the fact that I was going to have to be induced. Aaron gave me a blessing that night and I prayed really hard before going to bed and about half hour later I started some intense contractions and they just kept coming so we headed for the hospital and an hour later we were holding Lucy!!! It was so fast and smooth. It was so fun being surprised, well I guess Aaron always said he thought it would be a girl and so did I until the last month or so when people were telling me it looked like I was carrying a boy and I got boy clothes and picked out a boy name, I just started feeling like that was what we would have, but surprise! Another girl, I should have figured. We were so thrilled, as much as I do eventually want some boys I love having 4 girls in a row - it will be so fun!!! Just more tea parties and makeovers!

At the time I didn't even realize how purple and discolored she was, I thought she was beautiful and couldn't even believe I was actually holding her and it was all over, but now looking at pictures she does look pretty scarey! The doctor said she was so discolored because her head got bruised from such a fast delivery and the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice.

Grandma Jill with little Lucy

We told my mom not to tell the girls if it was a boy or girl, so when they got to the hospital and saw the baby we asked them if they thought it was a boy or girl. They all agreed it was a boy. Ha ha they were wrong! As much as they said they wanted a brother, they were so excited about another girl.

This was the one I was most worried about. Livy has been so attached and difficult for the past couple months, so I was thinking this would be a really difficult transition for the both of us. Luckily she has been so great with Lucy, it is so cute to watch how concerned she is about her. I know they are going to be best little buddies.

Looking much better and ready to go home

Lucy and her 4 mommies

Aaron gets so many comments from everyone about his 4 girls, but he sure does love em.
