Audrey's First day of Kindergarten

 This picture was just too cute!  My little man on Audrey's bed checking out a book.  I love when my kids are reading books and especially when it's all on their own! Aug 27

                           Audrey could hardly wait all summer for kindergarten to come! Aug 28, 2014

                                         Again Beck couldn't be left out of the picture!

 All three of my smarty cute kids!  All too soon I know they will all be off to school together. Sad day!

 She found her owl that had her name on it and showed her what hook was hers! #3

                      She found her table with her name on it. Table purple

                            Some cute girls ready to be friends at her table!

 This was the cutest ever!!! Beck giving Audrey a hug and a kiss before we left!

First Day of School for Cambria

 So excited for 4th grade! I know so many people say this but really how on earth did I get old enough for a 4th grader!?  I totally remember the 1st day of Kindergarten! Oh well it's not like time is going to turn back so enjoy the moments as they come! I have a gorgeous 9 year old who is doing awesome in school and is so perceptive on so many things of life! Love her tons! Aug 21, 2014

 Little brother couldn't resist being in the picture too!

 Cute hair do, new shoes, new book back, fabulous smile, totally ready to go!

 While Cambria was at school Audrey still had a week to go until kindergarten started so we rode our bikes to the Draper park and flew kites and played! Aug 22, 2014

 It was Beck's first time flying a kite.  He liked it for a little bit then freaked out for some reason and wouldn't stop until we made our way to the swings.

 Audrey had a fun time and was a great sister pushing him on the swings!

                                                     He really is one handsome boy!

 On our way we met up with Zuri the Zebra that is in someone's pasture with some horses.

                            It is awesome how close we are able to see a zebra not at the zoo!

                       I have some awesome bike riders! It is 4 miles to the park and 4 back.

Ogden Temple Open House and the Hogle Zoo

 I am so happy that we were able to make it to the Ogden Temple Open House!  Aug 18, 2014 We took our neighbor Addie Williams with us!  The girls immediatley noticed how clean the temple was when we first walked in. They also oohed and aahed over each room and loved the celestial room.  Another bonus was our next door neighbor Cherry Vanover and her kids came with us.  Cherry and her son Hreinson were just baptized a year ago and the family is working towards a temple sealing in May 2015!

                                             

 A friend of Cambria's mom asked if I could watch her daughter for a few days until school started (she works for the school) and so we took her with us to the zoo and had a really fun time!  We were trying to get a few last minute fun things in before school started the next day! The friends name is Kathryn Solum.

 The Hogle Zoo has really come a long way in the last few years and has made the zoo soo nice!!  The new addition we hadn't seen yet was the lion.  Beck liked it while it was napping but kind of freaked out when it woke up! It really did look like there wasn't a sheet of glass between us!

 The polar bear is fun to watch!  He has a routine of walking into his den, out, taking a quick swim and repeating! Aug 20, 2014

Cowabunga Bay

 Me and the girls made it to Cowabunga Bay.  Beck stayed home with Tim while Tim shoveled 5 yrds of dirt to our back yard to cover up our sand.  We had a fun time and tried all of the slides!  The girls had a great time in the lazy river too, probably because the water was warm! All in all we spent 5 hours and enjoyed ourselves!  I will say this, it is a place I could go to every other year! Maybe next time Beck will get to come!

 The girls tried dip and dots for the first time and are hooked!!

                                                                      Cowabunga!!!

Backyard Camping

 Another thing we didn't get in during Fair Week was camping out.  It was too wet so we didn't go at the canyon.  Since we have a fence in the back yard now we pitched the tent on the yard!  Me and the girls camped out on our air mattress with blankets and popcorn and a movie!  We had just finished reading Ramona and Bezus and so we watched the movie! It was a really fun night!

50 Mile Mark!!!!

 We are totally on our way to meeting our 100 miles this summer!  We just made it to 50 and boy are these kids awesome bike riders!!

 We had to get our picture taken by the metal dinosaur holding a lantern!! 

On our way back home the kids like to play at what we call the Balance Park! It has helped that the last few days and the days ahead have been cool so that we can get some miles in!
