Girl's Trip

Some of the young women leaders took a trip up to Burley Idaho to scout out a possibility for Girl's Camp for next year. We went and stayed at Cheyenne's property. It was fun to get away with them but not as relaxing as I had hoped!

Kallie and Sophie (and sometimes Tyler) love to heart attack old ladies in the ward whenever they play together. Well Lincoln and Megan moved into Dallin's townhome in the neighborhood so this time they decided to heart attack them. So cute!

We took advantage of the free front runner day and let the kids go on a train ride. They loved it!

Ava has been asking to get her hair cut into a bob for a while so I finally made it happen. Kallie got her hair cut as well.

Later that day we went swimming at the Provo Rec with cousins and had an absolute blast!

Jackson skipped his nap that day and ended up falling asleep on Mckinley's lap at the end of swimming.

The last day of summer we spent the whole day at Ross and Karen's playing on this bounce house waterslide he rented. 

Half way through the day we left so Mckinley could get her hair chopped. She has been wanting to do this forever but wanted to wait till her dance concert was over so she could still have her high ponytail. She thought it got cut a little too short at first but loves it now.
 

The first day of school finally arrived! I can't tell you how excited I was for this. Like I said, it was a rough summer. 

Kallie and Tyler have Miss Davis again, who got married and is now Mrs. Shulte.

Mckinley is in Mr. DeAdder's class with Kiara. I hope she has a great last year of elementary school! I am absolutely not excited for her to go to Jr. High next year.

After school on the first day we were able to go to the Curiosity Museum for Ross's birthday. The kids had a great time.

Then a yummy dinner at Chubby's after. Ross treated everyone and it was so fun!

Emmy giving Jackson a hug. :)

Now onto a couple of months of craziness with 4 kids in soccer and adjusting to the early morning school routine.

Another School Year Starts!

Kallie and Sophie are the heart attack queens. Lincoln and Megan moved into Dallin's townhome in our neighborhood so they decided they wanted to heart attack them. 

We have been wanting to ride the front runner for a long time so when there was a free day, we hopped on, rode it down to the Provo station, and then rode it back. Sounds pretty lame, but the kids really enjoyed it, and Mckinley wasn't feeling too hot so I was glad we at least got to do that much. I love having these young kids who are so full of life and so happy and easily entertained. They appreciate the small things and I know they won't always be this way, so I am soaking it up while I can.

Ava has been begging for a bob so I finally made an appointment and we let her get one. We lost all the blond tips, but it's adorable!

Super fun swimming day with Grandpa and Marmee to the Provo Rec.

Jackson fell asleep on Mckinley's lap at the end. Dang I am so excited for this kid to be done with naps. He does skip them occasionally, but for the most part he still needs them.

The day before school started Ross rented a big water slide bounce house and we had a fun day over there with cousins. Mckinley started out the day with long hair.

I took her half way through to her hair appointment and she chopped it off. She hated it the first day because it was too short but I think she is used to it now and just letting it grow out. I think next time we will keep it below her shoulders.

School started! Hallelujah! This summer was so rough for me. I was super depressed and just had such a hard time. I couldn't wait for school to start. We were forced to have an 8:00 start time which we hate, but at least they can go!

The first day of school was Ross's birthday and he took us all to the curiosity museum for a $2 Tuesday and the kids had a blast with all their cousins.

After that we went and ate at Chubby's. It was my first time. It was so fun and had the perfect closed off room for the cousins to run around and be crazy in.
