So at the beginning of the month I was able to go up to girls camp for the testimonies. I really enjoy spending time with those girls, I love my calling! We went to our annual Cherry Pit Spitting in Sanaquin. Catherine started tumbling on the 6th. So far she loves it! The 12th was a busy day...we went to the zoo for the day with Christine and her kids and then went straight from the zoo to the kids week long swim lessons. From swim lessons we went straight to Elise's first birthday party. I got to take her pictures for them as my gift to them. Then on the 15th Chris flew to Colorado to help out with Michaels 100 mile race. That weekend we decided to make a quick trip to Bear Lake before school starts. We had to make it back for Sunday because Catherine had to give her first talk in Primary...She did awesome! Caden started 1st grade on the 26th and Catherine got to meet her preschool teacher on 29th.
McKay is still taking a bottle but I am ready to switch him to a sippy cup, just sad because that is the only snuggles we get with him. McKay is getting his tooth to the right of this two front teeth. While Caden lost his first tooth on the bottom with another one coming out soon!
Definitely going to miss this kitty! She was so patient with McKay. No matter how McKay would carry her she kept going back to him. I kept thinking that one of them would learn their lesson.
Kids have been enjoying the bounties of our crop! I am just loving all of the sunflowers!
My crazy little climber!
Up at girls camp! Wish I could have gone the whole time, but I will take what I can get!

Poor McKay bonked his eye when he was bending down to pick up a spatula, he his in on the drawer handle.
First Day of Tumbling!!
Boating trip with the young men and young woman! I love this activity! I stayed out on the boat the whole time!

Caden likes taking selfies haha
Finally fixing the corner flower bed! Looks so much better! Look at that stud!
We went on a hike to Donut Falls with the Claytons and of coarse brought donuts to eat afterwards!
Bedtime book reading time!
At the Zoo with Christine and her kids. The kids had a blast! We saw lots of animals but they loved going on the train and the carousel! McKay was a bit scared of the carousel at first but loved it in the end. They all loved playing at the cool playground in the zoo!
Swim lessons!! Caden hated it, but by the end he was crying when we went to swim lesson and he actually ended up jumping off of the diving board. Catherine did good, but I think she would have done better without Caden, he kind of put off a bad energy. McKay really wanted to go into the water so I had to keep him in his car seat the whole time in order for me to survive the lessons.
Michael's 100 mile race.
Chris had a lot of fun going to help out Michael. He said that he was very impressed and inspired to run more and do better. Made him want to someday do a race that big. WOW!
Selfies we sent to dad while he was gone! haha
Bear Lake Trip
This is always a fun trip! Kids loved it and brought back lots of little shells! We had a really cool place to stay at with a great view of the lake. The lake was fun, but a little stressful with McKay and Caden was a little whiny for some reason, but it was fun having a picnic and making a castle! My favorite part of the trip was probably the bike ride we went on. It might have been a little far for Caden but he did great. Definitely want to do that again the next time we go. It was fun to come back from riding and treat ourselves to some shaved ice. Caden's favorite part of the trip was going on the race cars because he got to drive all by himself this year for his first time! He did So good and loved it! On our way out of Bear Lake we stopped at this new place with a tube slide. I went down with the kids several times. We all loved it!
Sunday wrestles with dad. Then later the Clayton kids came over for a couple hours until Ben and Christine got back from their trip. We went on a walk and they were all super cute with their buddies!
We bought some furniture from Stan and Heather and Bridger was nice enough to help me get it all home. It was quite the big scary load.
Hanging out before school starts!
Yay for loosing his first tooth!!! That one seemed so easy! Hopefully the rest are as easy!
Can't believe he is already in first grade! It will be sad having him gone all day! I won't see him until 4pm! That is a long time! I will miss my big helper.
