Back to School

Taylor going to 8th grade. Abby going to 6th grade.

Slip-n-Slide with Tibbitts

The girls went to Tibbitts' backyard for a giant slip-n-slide. They had a lot of fun sliding down their grassy hills.

Fun with Cousins

Shawn and the kids stayed for a few days after picking Hannah up from EFY. We enjoyed their musical talents, cooking skills, and Nertz card games. It was our last get together before school began.

Trent's Day at St. George Temple

This was an exciting day for the Tibbitts family as Trent went through the temple for the first time. He leaves for the MTC on Sept. 16th and will serve in Raleigh, North Carolina. Whitney got to babysit kids while we attended...happy to hug him later!

Grandma & Grandpa McCrosky, Trent, Lisa & Brent, Talen...Proud Kodak moment!

Simple Pleasures of Summer

Up late and sleeping in...Taylor and Abby look so sweet as they slumber, it's hard to believe they would ever be anything but nice to each other! (That's why I left them sleeping!)

I love it when Whitney is home and sits down to play the piano! Her little fingers make it look so easy as she plays song after song...worth every penny spent on lessons!

Poor Abby...she biffed it riding down a steep and rocky hill (after being warned not to) and did a face plant in the road. She skinned her forehead, chin, both elbows, her belly, and knees and came up laughing! Good thing she's so tough! (She's not smiling cause she hates getting her picture taken, not cause she's sad.)

Here's a happier moment when she and her BFF Chesnee were eating grapes and giggling hysterically. They are practically inseparable during the summer.


One of Abby's weekly rituals is making brownies on Sunday evenings. She is a pro at making them by now. Half of us like nuts and half of us don't, so she made a special batch to please everyone. Brownies always make her happy!
