Friends

Caitlyn has had a hard time making good friends since we moved to Provo.  She has a lot of people that she is friendly with but has never had good friends that she spends a lot of time with.  Near the end of this past school year she had a pretty good group of friends that she ate lunch with and they started spending time together outside of school.  She has really hit it off with Alexa.  They have been spending a lot of time together.  Alexa is a really nice girl and her and Caitlyn are pretty similar.  I'm so glad to see Caitlyn so happy.  Alexa's mom took the girls to the temple a couple of weeks ago.  

Alexa came to the pool with us and then Caitlyn went to the Orem parade with their family.  Alexa's mom told us she just loves Caitlyn and we feel the same about Alexa.

We have been so busy this summer. If we aren't out doing things the kids are all playing with their friends and we usually end up with a lot of friends at our house.  I told the kids that the Saturday before girls camp was family day and we were all going swimming.  

Somehow I caved and we ended up taking four extra kids with us.  All of the kids had a friend except for Hallee.  It actually worked out pretty good because Hallee got mom all to herself while Keith played with Wyatt and Kellen. 

The next day we did get some family time after church.  Pepper was staying at our house so we took both dogs for a walk on the parkway.  

Caitlyn was in heaven with two dogs!

We love the parkway, there is always fun things to play with and explore. 

All of the kids loved having Pepper stay with us.
