Yay Visitors!!!

My friend Shea and her family came to visit last week and I couldn't have been more grateful! :) They were our first and only visitors of the summer and our girls are ony 2 weeks apart so they had a blast. Taya doesn't cooperate very well when I pull out the camera so the pictures aren't that great, but they really were adorable together. A few highlights of the trip:

*They took turns pushing each other around in the mini stroller, which had Shea and I dying! Speaking of which, after many sewing attempts on the stroller (let's be honest, that thing has been through a lot!) I've decided it's time to buy her a new one. Good thing her birthday is just around the corner!

*Have you ever seen two 2 year olds communicate with each other?? HILARIOUS! In the car we'd catch London talking to Taya and Taya nodding her head. So cute!

*London taught Taya how to find sticks...

*Went to the aquarium and got to see the Beluga whales, or "boota"s as Taya would say...
Why is she obsessed with the most random animals? Belugas, Camels, rhinos, and now seals!

*Lots of loves

*And kisses

*And of course, the family photos...
Shea, Brendan, and London
Me, Cam and Tay

Taya has been asking me where London is ever since she left. Or, actually where "Tessa" is. She called her Tessa the entire time they were here! Tessa is her cousin that has been here all summer. Apparently every little girl her age is Tessa! :) Haha.

Anyway, we had a blast, thanks again for coming!


And P.S., it's official, I'm coming home next Saturday, August 29th!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited to be home and back in our house with more room for Taya to run wild! Cameron isn't coming back yet, probably the end of September. We haven't figured that part out yet, but will miss him a ton! See ya soon Utah!

Those two girls couldn't be any cuter! They'll get to play lots when you move back home. But more importantly, we will get to play lots when you get home! It's about time!

These two little girls are so cute together. And the two families are so similar. Shea and you are little, Cam and Brendan are big, and you have two darling little girls. How cute is that? I, too, can't wait til you are home safe in Utah.
