August!

August has also seemed to fly by so fast that I can't believe that summer is already over.  Carter is getting really excited to start preschool in September.  He will be going Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9am to noon.  Lunch is also part of the preschool this year.  He is so excited that he will be able to eat lunch with all his friends.  Here is an overview of the month.

This was Macie's new dress that we picked up at a garage sale a few weekends ago.  $1.00!!! and it's reversible.  I love garage sales!!!

We went to visit Grandma Jan and Papa at the Family History Center a few weeks ago on a really nice day.  Then we went to the park and played for a while.

I just thought this was such a cute picture of Macie Moo.

Rigby Lake

I took the four kids to Rigby Lake to have a fun summer day in the water and sand.  They loved it.  We packed a picnic lunch and spent the entire day there.  We built sand castles, played in the water, collected rocks, and played with the beach balls.

Happy kids in the sun!

Busy kids!

Family Day at Reed's Dairy

Every year Reed's Dairy has a family day were you can go and have a $0.50 Hot Dogs.  The kids love to go because they get to see all the animals and they also have free horse rides. 

Daddy's Little Girl!!!

I don't even think Carter was nervous about getting on the horse.  He was so excited he even let this guy help him get onto the horse.

And he was off.

Macie on the other hand was a little more nervous about getting on the horse.  Daddy had to get on the horse with her.  Once she was on she loved it.

He looks like a natural!

Carter and Macie competed in a cow milking contest.  I think Macie and I won.

A Visit to Utah!

Carter had been bugging me about taking him to see his cousins again and he wanted to go back to the Dinosaur Park.  I thought it was a good idea to go before school started and every ones schedule got really crazy.  Also it would be fun to go to the Dinosaur Park in the summer.  It is usually cold when we go and we can't do the extra stuff that is outside.  Carter was really excited to go and so was Macie.  We left Sunday morning and headed down to go to church with the cousins.  Carter thought that would be really fun.  We were only able to stay for that night and then we had to come home Monday night.  Even though it was a short visit it was really fun.

They started out wanting to sleep in the same room but it didn't last long due to lighting.  Funny kids, they all have different sleeping habits.

They all had a lot of fun at the Dinosaur Park.  Even though we have been there a million times, it was all new to them. 

The kids all took turns picking a Dinosaur to take their picture in front of.

They are so cute together.

Carter and Saylee

Macie could barely see out the hole.

I love this picture.  I think it is so cute when they all get up on these rocks and pose.

Carter discovered a new thing this year at the Dinosaur Park.  He dug for Dinosaur bones.  He could have spent hours there if I had let him.  I can see him being a Paleontologist when he grows up.

Cute kids!

Macie fell asleep standing by the couch.  She was so tired.  I don't even know what we had done that day. 

Happy 28th Birthday Daddy!!!

August 21st was David's 28th birthday.  It was a Saturday this year which really worked out good because he didn't have to work at any jobs.  We spent the day hanging out at home until lunch and then we went to Craigo's.  (Dave's favorite Pizza Buffet)  After lunch we went back home and let the kids have a nap.  That night we went to Ole Toro for dinner.  We met Dave's mom and dad and my mom and dad there.  We all had dinner and then went back to our house for presents and cake and ice cream.

David was recently made Manager at Ole Toro, we are so proud of him.  This desert was made by his boss.  It is about 10 times the size that is normally is for a regular customer.   

Carter and Macie were waiting all day for this part.  They could hardly stand not opening Dave's presents all day long.  In fact Macie did open a couple of them. 

This turned out to be a pretty good family photo.

This was Dave's main present.  He really wanted an IPod touch this year so that is what he got.  He was really excited. 

Carter and Macie helped me make the cake and then they helped to blow the candles out.  I think they started blowing before Dave got a chance.  It is so fun having kids.
