Myah's One! ...3 weeks ago...

I can't believe my baby girl is one already! Her birthday was on July 29th, so we were in San Francisco. When we got back, she opened a present from us and cards from great-grandparents...
 ...and she loved the money in the cards! ...not a good sign for the future.

 Fun times!
Celebrating with my parents later that week:
 She's was great at unwrapping!
Yay for water floater stuff!
Celebrating J and Myah's b days with the Calders on Aug. 10th:
 I made a duo cake for Justin and Myah. Half a one-cake and half a pizza cake. Anyone who knows Justin knows he LOVES pizza!
 She loved the cake and ate everything crumb!
 ...and then she was very sugar-high! She walked like a drunk person over to the presents!
 She got a shopping cart, book, doll, and bottles for the doll.
 Justin opened cards later. He turned 26 on Sunday! Crazy!




Tyler's home!

Justin's brother, Tyler, got home from his two year LDS mission in Uraguay last Thursday. I am so grateful for LDS missions and bringing the gospel to those who don't have it, but we are so happy to finally have him back!
 
Waiting for Tyler to come down the escalator. The anticipation was killing us!


They were like celebrities coming down! 
 Justin is so glad to have his brother back. He missed having him here so much.
 Tyler with the parents. 
 The siblings. I love this picture!
 We then went to eat at Chili's. (Porter was so good to turn around and look at the camera the whole time!)
Gotta love crackers!
 All of the babies were born while Tyler was on his mission, so he's been getting to know them all. He's been so sweet with them! This first day Myah cuddled with him and just loved being with him. It was so darling!
 Julie made the babies onesies with their initial on them to make it a little easier for Ty to remember who each of them was!
 And finally family pictures with everyone!

Bushnell Reunion

We went to our Bushnell family reunion August 3-5th down in Tropic, Ut. The Bushnell side is my maternal Grandma Porter's family (her siblings and everyone on down...so a ton of people!). My Grandma and Grandpa both died when I was young, so it was good to see my grandma's few singlings that are still alive. My parents did so much work along with my mom's siblings. They did a great job and didn't get much sleep because of it. It all paid off though! Good job mom and dad!
There were a bunch of activities throughout the weekend, but our favorite was probably volleyball!
 We stayed in little cabins (nice and cozy) and then would all meet in the big barn for eating, dancing, inside activities.
 Myah loved to drink from the apple juice cap my sister would give her!
 Doesn't this face say it all?! Mmm...bacon...
 Me, my sister, my dad (not pictured), and my family's friend Megan ran the kid Country Store.

This is all of my mom's side of the family that was able to come. So it's not everyone that was at the reunion, just my Aunts, Uncles, cousins, etc.
