It's been a super busy month!
We had a family reunion of sorts in Arizona. We got to see Josh's grandpa, dad, aunt, siblings, cousins, and any other relatives I'm forgetting at the moment, and it was a lot of fun! The twins did NOT like the drive, so that part was... well, it's over now. But they LOVED staying in a hotel, seeing family so much, swimming, and getting way more interaction and stimulation than they do when we're just at home. And they even did great sleeping in the hotel, which I was pretty nervous about! So, success. We all had a great time. :)
During the drive back to Utah we made a spontaneous decision to make a stop at the Grand Canyon. It was kind of on the way, neither of us had been before, and we had never had such a great opportunity to go. It set us back quite a bit getting home, and that drive sucked, but it was totally worth it. You guys, every picture I took looked so lame compared to the view I took in in person. Seriously, every time I took a picture I'd tell Josh, "these all look so lame compared to real life!" I get it now. I totally do.
Nevertheless, I DO have a few pictures to share, so here we go. ;)

The twins had their very first dentist appointment in June too! The office we went to was pretty great, very kid-friendly, and the hygienists even made balloon animals for them to take home! How awesome is that?
Truthfully though, I think their favorite part was seeing "Dory" in the fish tank in the waiting room. Haha!
On the Fourth of July we went to a community barbecue hosted by the LGBTQ community in Provo, which was pretty fun! We got stickers, flags, played with beach balls, and most importantly, got free food. ;) AND, that night the Stadium of Fire didn't even wake up the twins! All in all, a great Fourth of July.
Besides that, I've been cramming in play dates for the summer to enjoy the outdoors, let the twins play with their favorite friend, and to hang out with my best mom friend - I'm going to be *devastated* when they move next month, so I try not to think about it too much and we're just packing in the play time while we can.
The twins love staying busy, and it's probably good for us too. We can hardly keep up with their energy... and their emotions. Just saying. Good thing they're so cute though. ;)
And now... the heatiest heat of summer. We'll try to stay busy, but it's harder to be outside much unless there's water. I saw this meme the other day, and it's literally how it has felt, haha.
On that note, I'm out.
Love,
Ashley
