St. George

Paul was off in Florida on business, so where do the kids and I go...off to St. George of course! And it was HOT down there. So we spent the majority of our time at the splash pad or in the little inflatable pool my parents bought for the back yard.

 I am sure there will be many more St. George visits to see Grandma and Grandpa Stewart that were just like this one!

A Tea Party

We had a tea party for the Heslop girls (so sad that Holland couldn't make it) and we all had so much fun. It is nice to celebrate just being a girl sometimes with some cutsie decor, frilly pom-pons, adorable miniature foods, and of course a no-boys-allowed kind of policy.

Jeff and Jessica will be moving next month to Illinois for FOUR years!! It is so sad and crazy to think that little Genevieve will be Lily's age when they are done with Jeff's work there. To celebrate and help maintain the little cousin relationships that Lily, Annie, and Hazel have, Joan put together the sweetest gift to each of the girls. They all got a "friendship" necklace that will help them think of each other every time they wear it. They also got some cute stationary with the letter of their name so that once Hazel moves, they can write letters to each other to help them remember each other. At this point all of us girls almost broke down right there. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I have ever seen and it really put into perspective how much is going to change in the next four years and how much we will miss Jeff, Jessica, Hazel, and Genevieve!

We all had so much fun and I truly hope it becomes a tradition among the Heslop girls! Joan did an amazingly beautiful job with everything. I know that all the little girls were in Heaven.
