Our Summer

summer got the best of me and i never got around to updating the blog..

we had a great, busy summer that went by too quickly.

so i will update mostly in pictures!


































we stayed at the cabin, we played at bear lake, we ate a lot of ice cream, we went to st george, we went paddle boarding, we spent time with family, we played with friends, we got a new car, we survived apart for almost a month, we planted a garden, we played at the pool, we played a little pokemon go :), and we went to lagoon.
aria is nearly 3 and is such a smart, spunky, sweet little girl. she loves princesses and batman and super why and pj masks and surprise eggs on youtube. when i ask her what she wants for her birthday, she tells me a scooter and a taco. when i ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she says a ghost. she loves to take care of her baby dolls more than anything.
skylar can cruise on furniture like a pro and has started trying to stand on her own. she claps and has the most adorable wave and likes to dance and try to follow aria everywhere. she is the sweetest, happiest little thing.
unfortunately, we found out that skylar has the hht gene that i do. hht is a blood vessel disorder where some of your blood vessels are missing capillaries. in a nutshell, this makes it easier for blood vessels to burst, and puts you at risk for a bleed.  this can be anything from a minor annoyance to life threatening. our next step is to get an mri on her in a couple weeks to make sure she doesnt have any of these malformations in her brain. she has a good chance of not having any there so we are hopeful. i was really hoping the hht gene would end with me, but life wasnt meant to be easy i suppose!
anyway, on to my favorite season of all, autumn!
