There was nowhere I would rather be tonite than at a baseball game with D.  

I cannot think of a better way to spend a summer nite.

Way fun driving to K's XC meet in this little thing.  

This car makes me want to road trip.  I'm thinking:

• Moab
• Great Basin National Park
• Yellowstone
• Redwoods
• Oregon
• Yosemite

The possibilities are endless...

Sadie doing "homework".  

She was so excited that she had homework (a paper that she could finish at home.  :)  If only that attitude could last for many more years.  Needless to say the teenagers do not get excited for homework.  I think Rylie's still OK with it though so perhaps there's still some years to enjoy it.

August 28, 2012

Sadie LOVES kindergarten.  This may have been her best day ever - starting school.

August 27, 2012

Week 2 of school.  

I love that these girls have each other.  I'm also glad Sadie has both of them.  And I'm glad they have a big brother to look after them.  And a great older sister that likes being with her siblings.

August 26, 2012

That Rylie is so smart.

I concur with the cool part.

August 25, 2012

First soccer Saturday of the season.  

All 3 girls are blue and #4.  2 of them are Dolphins.  Fun, I know.

August 24, 2012

 Zoo day.  Fun, I know.

Sade and I had a great day at the zoo with Blake and the animals.  

We loved the polar bear and bird show.  Mostly I loved being with the 2 kiddos.

August 23, 2012

Ry is such a cutie just home from soccer practice. 

She has red cheeks from working hard and awesome socks.

Mr. Quesadilla.

Mason makes the best quesadillas this side of Mexico.  Yessirree.  And he's good enough to make them for us often.

August 21, 2012

7 long months took a back seat as Kenz put on her spandex and raced in a meet. 

It was her first race back and she rocked, proving she's still got it, crazy IT band and all.

So fun watching her run.  I'm sure it was even more fun actually competing.

August 20, 2012

Thanks for watching this movie with me last nite Kenz.  It's one of my favorites.  

Other watch over and over movies are:

National Treasure

Sky High

The Incredibles

Holes

Cheaper by the Dozen

Ice Princess

Enchanted

I'm a sucker for a feel good, funny kid movie.

Cutie Patutie.

Sometimes Sunday mornings go smooth and sometimes they don't.  

Today was a smooth one.  Fun, I know.

August 18, 2012

D and I took the 3 girls camping.

Fun, I know.

This picture is taken at Twin Lakes up BCC.

August 17, 2012

Mason started out the soccer season with a tournament this week.  

Am I ready for juggling the practice/game schedules?

I do know Mason is ready for the header.  :)

August 16, 2012

Evidence my dad was here.  

I love it!  "We're washing the dishes..."

August 15, 2012

 We started the summer with shaved ice and are ending the summer with shaved ice. 

After trying numerous flavors I think my favorite is wedding cake.  Mmm.

(Yep, Sade is in PJs.  It's never too late for shaved ice.  :)

August 14, 2012

Creative juices flowing here.

August 13, 2012

Kenz and friends played my favorite game today -

PIGHOGSOW

Fun, I know.

August 12, 2012

Croquet in the backyard.  Fun, I know.

August 11, 2012

24 hours in the Uintas is a good get away.

My camping kids.  (Kenz was at girls camp.)

August 10, 2012

Camping in the Uintas with a bit of fishing.  Cause can you really fish very much when the kids are around throwing rocks in the lake? 

August 9, 2012

We don't use our Pass of all Passes as much as we probably should, but we did use them today.  I took Mase, Ry, Cam, and Sade to 7Peaks Salt Lake. 

I'm pretty sure I get some mom points for this as I don't like water parks.  Although I probably get some points taken away as we only stayed about 3 hours.

(We didn't use all these towels but I came home and washed all that needed washing.)

August 8, 2012

Does summer really need to end?  

I really like not knowing what day it is and watching the kids enjoy their lazy afternoons.

August 7, 2012

Such a fabulous hike - Sunset Peak.  I mean fabulous.

D put it on the "must do" list.  I thought it was a fabulous way to celebrate 18 years of marital bliss.

August 6, 2012

Jumping on the tramp in PJs is just so summer.

August 5, 2012

LOVE

18 years of it.

August 4, 2012

Playing with cousins at Gma's house rocks!

August 3, 2012

I do like taking pictures.

Trying to figure out how things work - aperture, shutter speed, ISO - why do I want to not shoot in auto?  :)

August 2, 2012

While I would definitely not want to go swimming in a cold lake, Rylie definitely would.

(Tibble Fork lake - we helped with lunch for Kenz's XC team up AF Canyon.)

August 1, 2012

Summer nights.  Love them.
