So pleased with herself
I couldn't begin to count the number of times one of the boys has been having a hard time and wren comes over to make it all better
Just a couple six year olds doing algebra 😲
Sideways snowstacks
Why does adding an edge of white make everything so beautiful?

Hot and cold. Wren looked like an evil doll.
Denver museum visit (with uncle Austin!)
Even though it looks like we won the helmet, we were just holding it for the picture. People were staked out here, guessing it was the location for #byu50 so being the fourth or so family was pretty respectable (and we got stickers! ... but no shirts)
A little climbing with my guy
Just a big mess of limbs
Another chalk bites the dust
"Can we please cuddle?" Buddy knows how to delay bedtime.

Quality shot
Eclipse viewing party
We had been looking forward to this solar eclipse for years. Seeing the sun slowly disappear until this glowing corona was revealed was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I found my heart moved and my mind astonished. I'm so grateful the clouds abated to reveal this divine miracle.
Spiderboys
They love to love on her
Watercolor sky
They got to go in a balloon basket!
