No Lack Of Color: Welcome Home Elder Bramhall! and lots of other pictures

Ryan returned with honor this month from his mission in San Antonio, Texas. We missed him a lot and are so excited to have him home! He'll be moving to Provo in just a few weeks and I couldn't be more thrilled to have him around. Among other things, I think we're going to have a nice home cooked meals/babysitting trade off happening.

He says "ya'll" now. It's cute.

And also, if any of you have cute little sisters approximately the age of 21, let me know. This kid is a total stud.

Gotta love the look she's giving Ryan

Los Padres

Here she is thrilled to be witnessing Provo's 4th of July parade

Celebrating our independence with Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos. Yum.

Camryn hangs out in this swing a lot. Like for an hour every evening she is content as can be to swing and watch other little kids at the park.

Baby's first fireworks!

And now--introducing the 4 newest members of the Staples household: Margaret, Robert, Neptune and. . . oops, can't remember the name of the 4th one. Tanner has been dying for a pet for a while, and since a dog is pretty out of the picture for right now, we went down to petsmart and got him a fish. I was thinking like a little glass bowl with a goldfish in it, but apparently Tanner had bigger dreams. Like 10-20 gallons/multiple exotic fish bigger. We compromised. The pictures are obviously terrible, and I don't even know what kind of fish they are, but they are about 1 1/2 inches long, brightly colored 2 yellow, 1 blue, and 1 red, and really fast and zippy fish. Tanner loves them.

When Alison was visiting, we took Camryn on a long hot walk and she started getting really fussy, but as soon as we took her shirt off she was as happy as can be. This girls loves being naked.

First pool day! I'll be honest she was really grumpy this day and wasn't liking anything. We have a couple pool involved vacations coming up though and we'll change her opinion. Thanks for the adorable swimsuit Steph!
