August 2017

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!!
