August Bits



We went to East Canyon Reservoir and hiked down all the rocks to get to the waters edge.  The water is down quite a bit from the drought.  We just threw rocks into the water, but the kids had a lot of fun.


The kids all started soccer this week which is a little crazy!  I went to Parkers game while Kyle dropped Spencer off at another park and then took Carly to another park to watch her play...  yes all three kids had their games at the same time at different parks around town! But don't they all just look so dang cute in their soccer uniforms?  


So here's a picture of Parker at his game.  He's actually one of the better players on his team this year.  Granted, it's because Parker actually focuses a little better on the game of soccer than most of the other kids.  One kid kept flopping on the ground and crying when he didn't get the ball, or if he tripped- which was quite often.  Luckily he was on the other team.  It was sure fun to watch all of these 3 and 4 year olds playing though!
And this is Parker making sure his friend was okay after he fell down. 

And after his game, we rushed over to Spencer's game to see the last 15 minutes of his game.  He was playing goalie and taking it all very seriously.  It was sure fun to watch him and a little stressful!  He did quite good though and I think he's officially the team's goalie (one of two) which we are all excited about! 

And Carly and I went to take pictures of a family this week and while we were waiting for the family to come, we just took some fun pictures of Carly. 

And summer is winding down as the kids all start school next week.  We are all excited.  Me especially.  :)

Just bits.

Took the kids to the aquarium to cross something off our bucket list. 

Celebrated Pioneer Day

Cleaning day is always an adventure at our house.
Celebrated someone's 4th birthday!

He chose a superhero party.
My sad attempt at superhero cupcakes.

And his ice cream cake. Yum. 

In front of his stash.
We went camping at Fishlake last weekend.

Had too much fun roasting marshmallows/playing in the fire.
The boys went biking.
And everyone went fishing (but me)

We went to Lagoon that same weekend.

The kids had so much fun.  They all went on every ride that they could, even the big rollercoasters that they were tall enough for. 
Self portrait on one of the rides.  Carly has to always be making a face.
