We love when best friends come to visit….

Shortly after returning home, we were lucky enough to have Amy and her cute kiddos come for a visit from NC. It was such a blast to be together and have so much time to just talk and catch up. (So glad we only live a few hours apart!) Ruby and Emmett picked up right where they had left off just a few months before…as best friends and the cutest toddlers imaginable! And while the pictures don't necessarily show it, Amy, Caroline, and I were also on all these adventures having a great time as well!

Back to Life...

It's always sad to leave our families in Utah, but it makes it easier when you have a wonderful life to come back to. We jumped right back into life - work, friends, church, music class, the beach etc. and have had a great time!

Cutest girl at church!

Andrew's birthday swim party. 

Feeding the turtles and strolling campus is a family favorite.

Where's Ruby? Hiding from the rain! 

Huntington State Park. Beauty.

Lots of playing in the pool!

Music class with Miss Jane. One of Ruby's favorite parts of her week!

Dance parties with friends whenever she has the chance!

Mama's little helper. 

Helping wears you out!

LOTS of rain! This storm sneaked up on us, but didn't ruin our food thanks to the dedicated grill master!

We had so much fun at the Myrtle Beach Pelicans game. 

This has only happened a time or two in Ruby's cute little life. Precious baby!

Summer 3….

Summer in the mountains is the only way to go. We are so blessed. From start to finish, we had such a great (and busy!) summer vacation (with some work mixed in there for C) with our families.

We lucked into a little Ingoldsby reunion! Wish we could have had more time with these peeps!

Seeing our buddies, the "I", is always a mega highlight. 

Noni!

Time at the cabin is just so dreamy….

The fam! Pretty soon we won't fit in between these two posts!

These cousins are so much fun. 

We know how to party. 

First time with painted toenails. It pretty much changed her life. 

One of the cutest pictures of ALL TIME.

"Oh, hey bro…."

Uma is such a fun grandma!

One of the most magical nights of the summer - watching the 24th of July fireworks and then having a dance party in the front yard!

Ruby loves her Uma and Grandpa!

Love our siblings!
