August 2015

Tyson continued pickling throughout the season.  He made lots of jalapeño pickles and beans.  The boys enjoyed the plain ones better but they would still eat the "picey" ones as Fin would say.

We celebrated our 8th anniversary going to the South Weber days rodeo.

   

Easton and Callan tried mutton bustin for the first time and did great!!  It had been a rainy week and the ground was pure mud.  They were so brave!

Easton and I went on a back-to-school date.  He got to pick wherever he wanted for lunch.  I thought I had a pretty good chance of Cafe Rio or Zupas but he chose McDonalds!  After exhausting all my efforts to try to pick somewhere else he yelled, "stop trying to convince me to go somewhere with less calories!"

Callan enjoyed an MVP hair cut at Sports Cuts complete with a shampoo and hot towel treatment!

We went to the Davis county fair with our friends the Behles.  It was SO unbelievably hot!!  We were melting!  The kids enjoyed the farm animals and the tiger, elephant, and snake shows.

We went swimming at Classic Waterpark for FHE one night.  We had a really rough August!  The kids fought like crazy and I was so ready for them to go back to school!  We tried to get out of the house as often as possible so we didn't end up angry and crazy.

Callan is the kid that always falls asleep in the car!

Fin took one of the legs off an Ikea stool and did some elk bugling.

More veggie pics from our garden!  

Always wrestling

We took an awesome trip to a cabin in Kamas with the Cook family!  Tyson and Trace taught us all how to fly fish.

Guess who caught the only fish!

The boys set up a chipmunk trap outside with some boxes and a rope and they sat by the door and waited to pull the string.  I don't think they ever caught one, but they were sure entertained.

Saturday morning Zumba

Another round of Scotland Yard

The boys went down to a cougar club event and had a lot of fun.

Family picture on our last day.  Tyson made me look pregnant by his poor hand placement.

Finally Easton started first grade with Mrs. Toomey!  He loves it!  And I love it also.  He thrives on structure and does so well.

He likes pears, orange, playing with friends, catching creatures.  He is a good friend with brown hair and brown eyes.  

Callan and Drew really enjoyed having the big kids at school again.  They started to really use their creative minds without being bossed around by the big kids.

We went swimming with the Byers for Billy's work party.  We had so much fun!

These kids are the best of friends!

Everyone LOVED the slide!  

Fin climbed up on a stool and grabbed a knife while Tyson was making guacamole one night.  It was so sad!  He wanted to watch movies on the computer all night to make him happy.
