Kyle was on-call most of Labor Day weekend, so we didn't go anywhere, but we did end up doing some fun things on Monday. This is a picture of us at Kennecott. We went with the Waymans. It was really fun. Then we went to the UP house and went out to eat.

Just a cute picture of the kids after bathtime.

I have wanted a canvas picture, but they are just too expensive for the size that I wanted. So I found a tutorial on Pinterest and tried making my own. It turned out great! It's like 18x24 and cost me less than 20 bucks for everything.

Kyle and I went on a bike ride with Parker today while the other kids were in school. Well, somehow when Kyle was pulling Parker in the trailer, the trailer flipped and crashed. I was riding behind them and watched the whole thing. It was so scary! Luckily Parker was seatbelted in, but he had a nice bump on his head and a big welt from the seat belt. Poor kid. You can't see it very good, but there is a hole in the netting and on the top of the sides... I was just so glad that Parker was okay!

And today we went to the kids' school carnival where we had a ton of fun. The kids rode ponies, played on bouncers, got snowcones, hamburgers, played games, and obviously got their faces and hair painted. They had such a great time.

Yes, I will catch up eventually...



Carly started Kindergarten today! She was SOOOO excited. That backpack is almost as big as she is.

Today is the day before Parkers surgery. We had to capture his "trigger" thumb. That's as straight as his little thumb goes.

Surgery day. This kid is the toughest kid I know. He was so happy the whole time before surgery. He had a ton of visitors (nurses, drs, and other staff who didn't have anything to do with him as a patient) come in just to talk to him and see this cute kid. He made everyone laugh and he was just so dang cute. Now after surgery was a completely different story, but we won't go into that... :)

Day after his surgery and he's doing great. He's using his thumb like nothing is wrong with it. Every once in a while he complains of pain or something, but most of the time he's taking it like a champ. And look, it's already straighter.

My mom came up to help us with Parker's surgery. While she was here, I conned her into helping me bottle some carrots. She's such a great sport! So these are some of the things I bottled this week.

I'm still trying to catch up. :) So these are from a few weeks ago.


For YW, we went to a neighbors pool and had a pool party. The girls really had fun with my underwater camera.

We are all about bubble baths around here.

Today Carly attempted to ride her bike without training wheels. She went to get her shoes on and came out like this.

We went to the local "beach" today. It's actually at the park by the river. But they have put all of the sandbagging sand there and it really is quite a nice little beach. The kids loved it and we all had a fun afternoon.

As I was sitting on our deck tonight and watching the kids play, there was a nice sunset and look what it did to our mountain view! So amazing!

Self portrait

Was able to go to a friends' daughters' baptism. They are from Albuquerque, but came up to Utah to do the baptism so we were able to go. It was so fun to see them again! Plus our kids had so much fun and picked up right where they left off!

Sunday night games.

First day of school for Spencer. Carly had a Kindergarten assessment, so she got all ready to go and Parker just wanted to be in on the fun.

Someone got into Carly's makeup...
