| We went up to the Preston Rodeo in Idaho w/ Todd's family (where the kids had a 4-wheeling accident and Bodie scraped up his chin and knocked a permanent tooth loose....ugh) |
| Waiting for the parade to start |
| Carnival rides before the rodeo starts |
| Rodeo time |
| The next day we went on a fun family hike |
| Kayla and her friend did a lemonade stand one day and made off pretty darn well |
| Kayla did a couple dance workshops |
| We went to Todd's company picnic and Bodie dunked Todd's boss! |
| They had some bounce houses |
| And a face painter |
| Bodie got a bow and arrow balloon |
| And Kayla got a unicorn to match her arm |
| There was also a fun rock climbinng wall and Todd won a great prize in the drawing |
| We've had some tough family news recently and this was a bright spot in my day and a reminder that God is always looking out for us |
| We went on a date to the 311 concert curtisy of Todd's company |
| The police came to our church annual summer BBQ and let the kids play on their bikes, wear the chief's badge and sound the sirens |
| The chief even gave Bodie an official police baseball to keep |
| We tried to get in some lazy mornings |
| And went to the annual end of summer pool party that our orthodontist throws |
| Gigi took Kayla back to school shopping |
| My sweet, funny boy...always making us laugh |
| We took a drive to a new waterpark the weekend before school started...it was so fun |
| These lily pad things were tough...Todd and the kids made it all the way...I did not |
| There was also a fun rock climbing wall |
| And of course we had to get a treat |
| We took the long/scenic way home through the canyons and stopped for an early dinner |
| This little man ran his new record, 2 miles! Then Todd hosed him down :-) |
| A girl, her dog, sidewalk chalk and a popsicle |
| We went to the Farmers market |
| We did a BBQ in the canyons to celebrate my parents birthdays and it was so nice and relaxing |
| Our annual back to school dinner...the kids chose pizza, pasta, salad and ice cream. They also got halloween pjs and plates which is our tradition |
| We started our fall bucket list |
| And went for a family walk |
| The kids requested blue pancakes (yes, they were blue even though they look green here) for their first day of school breakfast (blue is one of their school colors) |
| She was little nervous about meeting her teacher b/c she's new,but she ended up loving her and having a great first day |
| Bodie wasn't nervous at all and loved his first full day of school |
| Not sure how my babies are so grown up, but I love them so much and am very proud |
| Bus stop pics |
| Insert mom tear here |
| I always run up to school and take some pictures before they head in |
| We went to a neighborhood end of summer ice cream party on Sunday and then this one on Monday |
| The beautiful sunset from the party on Monday |
| Back to school bingo |
| Nick sent me this picture of my sissy right before they went out to celebrate their anniversary...so beautiful!! |
