August means a birthday for our little dude! I can't believe he is ONE! He was a very careful eater of his birthday mini-bundt cake but don't worry, he finally dug in and made a good mess in the end.
The best part of his birthday was when we got free rein of the Tupperwear cupboard.
Getting the royal treatment from the Bonner girls
We got away for a little end of summer getaway to Snowbird. We took Jaymi and Bryn up a day earlier and met the Nelson's at the adventure park and dinner Friday night and then went for a hike Saturday morning. Then Wayne went and grabbed Kaelyn and Alek and they joined us for a night.
The girls made sure to bring their dolls on their first hike while we were there.
We told the girls if they brought the dolls we would not be carrying them for any point of the journey. Well Wayne couldn't resist!
When Alek arrived he made himself right at home. The hotel room was the most exciting adventure he had had for a while!
Seeing what the girls would look like with bangs.
First day of school!
Kaelyn 6th grade
Bryn 3rd Grade
Jaymi 7th grade
Alek woke up to a very quiet house with all the girls back at school. He is going to miss his entertainers.
Crafting sisters making fairy houses for the garden.
Bryn got to go to a paint night birthday party with her gymnastics team.
Getting out for walks is still one of our favorite activities these days.
We wanted to show Bryn the awesome sand castle by the lake but a couple days later it was gone. So we did gymnastics on the big hill left behind instead.
Kaelyn being a goofy gal.
Splash pad with our buddy Eddy
Wayne and I were able to play sand volleyball most Thursday evenings with good friends. Such a needed activity for this year.
Its not summer without a trip to the Anderson's Park City Oasis!
Our first trip up here Kaelyn was the only kid. Look at all the friends she has now!
Cute girl in a summer outfit. She has been loving the footsie jammies every day so its a big deal when she gets dressed up.
Trying out new hairstyles for fun
Backyard playdates
Alek getting the swing of his life.
Bryn killing it at gymnastics. Girl got her giant on bars!
Love summer nights out on the neighborhood. Alek and his little gal friend Olive test driving the neighbors ride.
I love when Kaelyn joins her siblings in their shenanigans.
I trusted this lady with my life and let her drive me around like a crazy person on her new go cart! Yes there were lots of screams.
