We had such a fun, busy summer together and August was a great way to end summer. We did a trip out to West Jordan and celebrated Rylee's birthday as well as spending lots of time with friends and family outside. I also survived morning sickness most of the month (though thankfully I didn't feel as sick with this pregnancy as previous ones).
We have such fun neighbors, the kids adore them!
We love the twins! They are such sweet babies.
Watching a crazy rainstorm together 💗
The boys love four wheeler rides.
We wore Oliver out so much that he fells asleep while I was changing his diaper before bed 💗
Ben picked up disc golf as a hobby and has fun with it, especially at his parents' house.
And Oliver wants to try too 💗
Melissa was in a local production of Oklahoma, so Ashtyn and I went together to see it. We had a lot of fun and Melissa did such a great job!
Ice cream cones!
The kids did this on their own 😂
I love how Oliver lines up his toy cars so often.
Parker's primary talk.
Learning about France.
Ashtyn's favorite part of summer is probably the bugs!
I also spent a large portion of August repainting our table and chairs. I wish I had a before picture, but I'm really happy with how they turned out! They were a much bigger project than I was expecting--we had a lot to learn about sanding and especially putting the finish on it.
I also spent a lot of time working on my bullet journal for next year. It was a great way to spend the time while I was feeling sicker.
First day of school pictures! Oliver wanted to be included like his sisters!
As part of school, Parker has started doing speech therapy. Ben has a cool setup for her in his office that gives her great feedback and also allows her to watch videos teaching her. She loves it.
Oliver went outside one day to play and came in telling me he found a snake. I came and looked and saw a rope, thinking, right a snake. Then I saw he actually had found a real snake! The kids were ecstatic and even Ben was excited.
