Recent Random Catchup Pictures

I have a ton of recent random pictures I seem not to have time to post lately....

So here is a quick catch up of some of them:

Everyone had dentist appointments and no one had any cavities! That is always good news!

Hema seems to actually enjoy the dentist now.

Last time Vela wouldn't even open her mouth. This time she did perfect! So proud of her! 

We also took the kids to get haircuts before school started up. We went to Cookie Cutters. The kids thought it was so much fun there and wished they  could have tried out every single fun chair. 

Hema was relieved that a boy was cutting his hair. Here is his before long fluffy hair!

Vela was please she didn't have to have the boy cut her hair. The girl tried to convince me how cute Vela would look with lots of layers in her hair. I said NO WAY! Just a trim please!

AFTER! This picture seriously cracks me up! Vela wanted to look like a princess so the girl did this "crown braid." It was so funny! Hema and I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that she looks like a polygamist child bride! Disclaimer: We may live in Lehi, Utah - but we are in NO WAY associated with any polygamists! That is just a princess crown okay! :)

When Hema's birth grandparents visited for his birthday the brought all the stuff to make a variation of this craft from the Friend magazine. We made them for FHE the following Monday and the kids thought it was so much fun! A lot of the stuff came right out of their garden! She also had us substitute chicken salad instead of the cottage cheese, cute and yummy!  

Hema with one of his bugs. 

He really likes olives more than tomatoes, so he invented this bug.

We recently went bowling as a family. The last time we went (several months ago) the kids thought it was boring and refused to even bowl the second game we had paid for. This time they loved it and begged for a second game!

Hema is really getting the hang of it. 

I love this picture of Vela mid air - cheering herself on! She would roll the ball and it would seriously take 20 seconds to get to the end of the lane. Hema and I would say, "It's not going to make it..." and finally it would slowly hit the pins and knock a surprising number down. It was so funny. They whole time as  we waited for the ball to hit the pins she was jumping and dancing! It was pretty cute! 

Cora just mostly cheered everyone on and looked adorable! 

Had to take a picture of this! Honestly the 1st time ever that I beat Hema! Whoo Hoo!

I think we were the only family left in Utah county that hadn't bought Tragalga/ Seven Peaks passes. They finally dropped the prices really low last weekend and we bought them. The Lehi Trafalga is about 5 minutes from our house so we've already been there lots! 

Hema and Vela love this ride. But right before we left some dorky kid that was about 17 with a mo hawk soaked them mercilessly. Really?!?! They were both in tears on the way tot he car. 

So fun!

Rides, rides, rides!

Vela rode this ride no less than 20 times in a row. She laughed hysterically every single time! 

We also went to Seven Peaks Salt Lake (the old Raging Waters) on Saturday after Hema's football game. I don't have a single picture because I only had my new camera and was too scared that it would get stolen to take it in.  The water parks are closed for the year but we hope to hit them up a lot all summer next year.
