August and End of Summer Time

With all the August heat and wind brought a huge fire near Panguitch Lake called the Bryan Head fire. My Dad was called out with his wildland truck to help fight this fire. 

We spent a Saturday playing with my family at Deer Creek... swimming, snacks and sun!

Powder donuts are the best!

All the girls had so much fun playing in the water together

We made sure to enjoy a Monster Truck show for Bluffdale Days and Aubrie and Papa Matt even got to have a ride in one!

Part of Bluffdale Days activities included a Giant Foam area to play in. Aubrie was in heaven diving into the foam and Brynnley enjoyed watching all the craziness. Grandpa Matt had fun hosing off all the kids with the Fire Truck afterwards.

I absolutely love this month because all my beautiful yellow flowers are blooming in the back yard. When ever I am feeling down I just look out my bedroom window to see the happy yellow flowers.

The girls love picking all the raspberries and eating them all before we even get inside.

The kids visited the Hogle Zoo with Grandma Bath and cousins.

Aubrie started her new and last year at Pre-School at Lotsa Tots this month. It's hard to see what is written on her board.....she wants to be a teacher when she grows up, she loves playing with shopkins and princesses, her favorite food is mac and cheese and spaghetti.

Enjoying Florida Georgia Line Concert at Usana. Nelly opened up for them...it was kinda fun to hear all the old songs from high school days.

Another Jeff moment happened this month: I was coming home and heard a big cracking sound in our bathroom. I ran in to see what happened and Jeff had let Brynnley out of the shower on the wet floor and she slipped and hit her head. I was very nervous since her goose-egg was the largest I had ever seen. We spent most of the middle of the night at the ER making sure she was ok.

Swim lessons for Aubrie this month

July Heat

July was a fun filled month and started off by celebrating the 4th of July swimming and playing at Blackridge Reservoir in Herriman. We ended the night watching as well as lighting off fireworks in our circle. The girls loved playing with the pop pops and Brynnley was not even afraid of the fireworks this year.

We also made sure to attend West Jordan's Western Stampede Rodeo.

                 

             

It was a very hot hot summer with temperatures being in the 100 degree range almost every day!

We also made sure to enjoy the Riverton 4th of July Parade....the girls love love love parades and especially getting the candy!

               

                  
 At Lotsa Tots Daycare the girls had fun during Hawaiian Day!

In July we also attended Sunnie Pearson's wedding at the new Provo Temple.

The 24th of July weekend was spent at Ledge Fork Campground which was a new place for us to visit. It is one of my new favorite spots to camp with a lake for fishing and lots of streams to play in as well as deer that would come in our campsite. Of course we can't forget about all the cute little critters that the girls enjoyed feeding.
