We went last Saturday to the Parker Country Festival. We had no idea it was such a big deal--way more stuff than we anticipated. It was SUPER hot and so we spent some time on the rides and then headed home for drinks and air conditioning! Anna was so proud to be able to go on the rides by herself. Just look at her smile!
I took this picture (above) to mark that Rachel had turned 2 months old. Obviously I am at least a month behind in photos. Anna couldn't stay away, so here is a cute one of the two cutest sisters we know! Since then, Rachel has started smiling, laughing and chewing on her hands all the time. We love watching her grow.
Nana and Papa were so good to us, they took Jacob and Anna to the school fair for a night. Bart, Rachel, and I got to go out for the evening, which was a great break for us all. Among all the food, they got to ride a pony, get their faces painted (anna decided against it), ride a train, and dunk a few of the teachers. At the end of the night, they were all exhausted, but Jacob's Tiger face was too cute to pass up the photo op. They slept so well that night! Thanks Nana and Papa!
Here is a "pre-blessing" picture. I got Rachel all dressed and put a bib on her so she wouldn't spit up on the dress. It was such a great day and Bart did a wonderful job with the blessing. We were so glad to have Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Papa, Sissy, and our friends, the Larsens there for our special day. And to our surprise, we were EARLY for church and got to sit in the nice seats! Wow!
Nana and Papa with Rachel. Look at her cute eyes!
Thanks to Stephanie, we have some great family pictures before the nice clothes were exchanged for play clothes! We have a great family! I love them all!
I think Rachel is the most blonde and has the most hair of any of the kids. What a special day and I love our pictures on our new front porch. Look at my model, Anna, too. Oh, how they crack me up! So, there is a short update on us, hope to try and be more regular now. We'll see how that goes!

You guys are all so cute! Where did you get Rachel's cute blessing dress?! I need to find one!
Yea! I am so happy to see cute little Rachel. We would love to hang out with you guys! This time we are flying into Colorado Springs, but we want to come up and hang out for a day or whatever...I will give you a call as it gets closer. We'll be there from July 22-Aug 14. Cute family! I think Anna looks so cute in that last pic!
Hey there! So fun to see your updates and check in on how you're doing! Little Rachel is just beautiful! I didn't know you had her yet...guess that is what happens when you move from Baltimore and all my Williams' updates from the Cherrys are no more. Thank goodness for blogs huh? :) You look great though! Let us know when you're in SLC during the next year - we'd love to get together! We're literally just right up the street from your parents!! :)
