GOODBYE SUMMER.....YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!

We are never ready for summer to be over at our house.  The only thing to make us feel better about the end of summer is the beginning of football season.  Here are a few highlights of the last month of blessed summer. 

My cute babies!

This is the playground we go to every Monday night for family night while Colt is at class.  One day we will be able to have FHE.....probably not.

We rigged the MADSEN so CJ could ride too.

Our friends the Malie's took us on one last boating trip.  Loved the boat, loved the water, love them!

Colter is getting good on those skis!

Once again, outside all summer long, and once again, white legs.  I swear they have their own built in sun repellent.

Skye loves the tube, and this is CJ's first ride!

Loves watermelon!

Me and my pal Michelle (she got dumped twice, while I stayed on, HA! Still the queen of the tube!)

Colt, Kate, and CJ

Grandpa AKA Coach

CJ, Sharlie, Ryker, and Lincoln

My parent's friends came for the BYU/Washington game and they are huge Huskies fans so we decided to let CJ decide which college was the best between Utah, Washington, and BYU.  He scooted all the way on his back to the Utah hat, needless to say I can't think of a prouder moment.

Then we wanted to see who he picked to win between Washington and BYU....I would upload the video, but it takes too long.  He picked Washington and it was great.  Too bad they lost.



Pioneers, a Wedding, an Anniversary, and a Birthday!

We are not a family that likes to sit around, and that was in full effect this month.  We went to the 24th of July breakfast with our ward, then went over to Main Street for the parade.  Skye loved it!  We went home with a whole bag of candy and we even got to dance a little.  We also got to go to California for Matt and Allie's wedding.  Matt and Colt played football together and they asked Skye to be a flower girl.  We were honored!  They have treated Skye like she was their own.  Skye did such a great job and the wedding was beautiful!  We only got to hit the beach one day, but we made the most out of it.  Matt and Allie's wedding happend to be our anniversary so it was kind of fun to remember that we still love each other. HA!  It has been a wonderful 6 years and many more to come.  Last but not least Skye turned 3!  Our little beach babe is so fun.  She makes us laugh everyday with her funny sense of humor.  She is the sweetest, most kindhearted little girl I've ever seen.  She loves everyone!  She is a ray of sunshine in our lives with an occasional storm and we wouldn't have her any other way.

Our wonderful friends the Wilkinsons were nice enough to let us crash for a night, and take us to the airport.  Skye got to see her old pal Emery.  They picked up right where they left off.

Happy Anniversary! 6 years...........infinity to go!

The Birthday Girl! 3 years old!

Birthday party with the brothers!

Nice legs Mini, and awesome trick Payton!

He loves swimming!

Yes, that is a water balloon, and yes I'm a horrible mother.

Birthday cake!

I just had to put this on here because it is hilarious.  CJ is 7 months now and has 2 bottom teeth, sits up, says mama, and claps his hands.  Just for a quick update!
