August

No wonder why I've been postponing this post for ever! There's been so much fun stuff happening in August! It was definitely a perfect summer month for us.

We got to dog sit this little girl for a couple days. Hazel got along so well with our dogs. Which is surprising cause Foxsea is so grumpy in his old age that he gets along with no one...

No wonder why I love these girls; with that kind of selfies left on our phones how could it be any different?;)



Grandpa came to visit too. Josan always loves it. But when he get to PLAY with his favorite he's just in heaven!





And after Dad came to visit we went and visited him! We had a ton of fun! We never get enough time down in Nevada! These 2 think that they're BBQ masters. Don't try to tell them otherwise; they've got this!

We took all the dogs with us so on top of Gus, Bear and the Kitty, there was Max, Peewee and Foxsea! It was so funny to have them around.

One of the best part about going to Dad's is not wearing makeup...at all! We just stayed in Logandale most of the time and just didn't feel like we had to be dolled up!:)




Another favorite would be playing baseball when we go to Dad's. The kids were having a blast too. I swear Josan is already 10 times better than I am. At least I had Dad to teach me how a little...



It's blurry. But I just love that boy!


While we were there Kara sent us a couple of gems. I just love these pictures


Last but not least, we got to watch a chopper land right by Dad's house. The kids LOVED it. And so did we.

This is a picture Adam took. He sure could work in a worse place...I feel so blessed to live where temples are so close by. Just within half an hour of our house we can reach 3 temples. The closest one to my home town is 2 hours away. And then the next one is 4 hours more. We really are blessed here...

There was a fair down in Farmington. We went with the Olsons and the Huffakers and had a blast! How could we not with these guys??






Had to fit in a Bees game too. Love my boys...



Camping trip with Huffakers and Olsons. Did I say how amazingly fun August was??

As soon as we got to our camping site we saw 2 deer eating there minding their own business. They kept us company through the couple days that we were there. It was pretty cool.






No makeup; no problem!


Don't mind us; we're special...




After all the fun we had to get some serious business done too. First day of first grade for our big boy! It was pretty rough on him for a while; he hated how loooooong the days were...but that was nothing compared to how hard it was for me to send him to school every day!
He sure makes us proud though. He did so good on his first day. He is an amazing, smart and handsome boy and we are SO blessed to have him in our lives.


On his first day we ran into 2 of Josan's best friends. He's known Keamon and Eli his whole life. And we plan on keeping it that way for a long time. I had to bring out an old picture of them from when Josan was about 2. We had gone to Mom and Dad's for Valentines and had a great time. They've changed so much. But they're still such great boys!

Such tiny, cute boys!
Josan's class. He's got a lot of good kids in his class. And his teacher is awesome!

Here he is on his second day. He's lining up getting ready to go in.

I had to go see him at lunch; I couldn't stay away from him any longer. For some reason lunch time was the hardest time for me. I hated thinking about him eating with a bunch of other kids, in a big lunch room without me with him. That lasted a few weeks and then I got a little better at being the mom of a big boy...

It helped a lot when I saw Keamon come in the lunchroom half way through Josan's lunch break. Knowing that one of his favorite person ever was around calmed things down a little...

Random. That was the kids idea. Not ours...

At school the kids can earn PAWsitive tickets if they do really good. This is Josan's first one. He was so proud to show us!

When Adam first showed me our house the porch and the swing is what draw me in. But the previous home owners took it with them and in August we finally got another one! (for seriously dirt cheap too; always a bonus)

Playing at the park

We haven't been getting together near as much as I would like with how crazy life had been. But I sure love these girls!

I had to put this picture on here too. My brother finally found an amazing girl to call his girlfriend. The funny thing is that I went to preschool with her! Oh! and her name is also Annie. Then the girl on the left is an old childhood friend that has been Annie's best friend for like 20 years!!! Celine is awesome too. So it's just a really cool situation! I couldn't be happier for them!

Random play time with Keaton, Jack and Alex. They're not fighting, even if it looks like it.

Now this... THIS is an amazing thought from our next door neighbors and friends. They went to Vermont and took a little trip to Quebec. On their way out they got me 3 of my favorite things! I'm still saving it for an emergency...;)

Just checking on our pumpkins

Adam playing softball. We love our Wednesdays and Thursdays getting to cheer Dad on!

Hanging out with friends...sometimes really closely...

And this is yet another trip to the Airforce museum.


This gorgeous girl asked me to do her makeup and hair before her Cheers pictures. I got Taryn to help me with all the hair but other than that Jayce didn't need much work at all...

We went to Derrick and Shawna's swimming party and it was SO FUN!!!!! Everybody had the best time ever and it was super fun to catch up with everyone!
