Ashton At Play

Ashton came up with the idea, all by himself, to combine his tractor trucks and play-doh together.

It's fun to watch kids involved in their play and using their imaginations.

Ashton also enjoys playing games on our tablet now. Just one more person to fight over "Tabby" ;-) Sometimes I sure am grateful when I can distract him with the tablet, like when he's wrecking havoc all over the house and tormenting his sisters.

Rooks likes to do whatever Ashton is doing too.

Bailee's Birthday

Bailee's birthday was on July 26th. She turned 6 years old! We had a birthday party for her a couple of weeks after her birthday, with her friends. (We were in Orem during her actual birthday and I came down with pneumonia, so we had a to wait a bit.) None the less, we had a great old time.

The kiddos painted masks.

Back To School

Better late than never with the back to school post!

Here's Madison on her first day of 6th grade. She's growing up so fast, I can't even believe it.

She's doing great in school and has adjusted really well to changing schools and riding the bus. She handles it all like a pro. Madison is a great help for me and fun to spend time with. We have a good time laughing together.

Here's my little cutie on her first day of 1st grade. Bailee also changed schools this year from Ashley Elementary to Naples Elementary, since we moved. She was a little nervous but has done really well. She's made a cute friend named Kiera. She's done well going from a half day of Kindergarten to a full day of school. It doesn't seem to wear her out, which I'm glad about.

Weekend Before School Started

The weekend before school started Rooks stayed with us for 4 days and 3 nights while his parents went on a trip for their anniversary. I'm not gonna lie, it was a lot of work with him staying with us, but all went well and he's a good boy. I'm thankful he slept through the nights!!

We went to the splash park for the last time this summer. I watch Rooks 4 days a week instead of just 2 now that school has started.

I don't remember what Bailee was telling me, but it looks important. She's a cutie pie!

Ashton enjoyed being in the water more this time than he has in the past. He found a cup and thoroughly enjoyed filling it with water over and over again. He splashed me with it on the stomach one time, he was a good shot! I got worried about him though. I noticed he was shaking, but he just kept on playing in the water. I quickly grabbed his warm beach towel and went over and picked him up and wrapped him in it. I had him sit with me on the lounge chair and I wrapped him in all of the beach towels we had. It took him a bit to warm up.

Unbeknownst to the girls and Rooks, Ashton's heading their way with a nice, cold cup of water, haha!

Another Birthday Swim

Looks like someone got a smudge of sunblock or something on the camera lens.

Lots of posing going on!

Since we stayed an extra 6 days in Orem while I was recovering from pneumonia, we were there for Bailee's actual birthday on July 26th, so we went swimming again and this time I was able to go. Unfortunately Jeff wasn't able to go with us, he had to go back to work. We also went to Iggy's again, our favorite restaurant.
