More August Fun!

We went to a new-to-us pond in AF with the fam to celebrate Dave's graduation from MBA school!  Hooray!  I had my mom take a bunch of pictures from the other side of the lake - but I hadn't switched the settings from studio pictures earlier that week, so they turned out dark.  Boo.  


One of my other Summer bucket list items was going to the SLC cemetery to see some of the places where past prophets and apostles were buried.  It was a little stormy of a day, but it was fun to go walk around this place!  



We saw a small buck and a fox!  The fox had caught a bunny or something - it was carrying it in it's mouth.

We had a bunch of runs - or rollerblade rides.  We rode rollerblades this morning in particular.  We found a rope swing on the other side of the river.  T tried it out, and we decided we had to go home, get our jobs done, and come back in our swim suits to play later that day!  Fun day!!!
We went to Trafalga for a reward one day after a job!

Soph had a couple of friends that couldn't come to her party, but they dropped off a present to her.  Sweet friends!


This day was so fun!  I took half the neighborhood down to the river to play one day.  It started with just a few girls and ended with my kids and a bunch of friends!  There were snakes, mud fights and lots of laughing!

















Grandma came down one day to work on Sophie's baptism dress.  The boys didn't want to be left out of the fun!  We bought some BYU fabric for them to make pillowcases!  I was pretty impressed!




Bells went to an end of summer party with a bunch of neighborhood girls!
The most beautiful double rainbow at YM/YW kickball game.
Hanging out with cousins for Lexi's birthday!
Josh and I went to a BYU game - it was SO hot!  
I love Sophie and Jace's art work in the hall!  My favorite is Soph's description of our Oregon Trip!  


Thomas' class start of school kick ball party!
Jace's scout group hiking the Grotto!



I was pretty thrilled to start going to the temple again regularly!  My Wednesday temple trips are a highlight of my week!  :)
