Some more photo's of the past month...

We ran aronds & got a million comments from people saying how cute they were in their cowboy clothes & boots!

Western day at Pre-School...

Alex had Western day at preschool and asked Grandma Debbie to take him to pick out some cowboy stuff...Ash went along too. All they have wanted to do lately is to wear their cowboy boots! At school they got to sit around a pretend camp fire and sing songs...when I picked him up he had a big marshmellow in his mouth- I'm guessing they pretended to roast marshmellows too...

Kids at the Utah State Fair...

The kids had the chance to go to the fair this year for Grandpa Damon's Birthday. They had a blast! Uncle Cody took Alex on some rides, while Aunt Becca took Ashlee w/Hazen to see & kiss the farm animals...We all had a great time together & the kids talk about going to the fair again next year!

Pictures of what we've been up to over the past month...

August has flown by, as has the summer months also (since we've had Livi). We finally got our yard in- thanks to our hard-working daddy and family that helped out so much (we very much appriciate you all!). The kids have a great time running and playing and it's great to watch them get out. Alex is such a great big brother- he plays with Ashlee so well, they have a great time together. He also loves to sit and talk to Alivia and she smiles big at him. He will start pre-school next week and cannot wait! Ashlee is our little firecracker- she is talking up a storm and is discovering her new love- climbing! She climbs up and onto everything and anything! Yikes! She loves her brother and misses him when he's gone working at Grandpa's with his dad- the whole time that he is gone she asks- "Where's brothe?" "I miss him", then when he gets home she goes running to give him a hug and he hugs her back...it's cute. Livi is our sweet, even-tempered baby. She is such a happy baby too. She smiles and talks and talks- it's funny I'll be talking on the phone while holding her and I will look down at her talking and smiling away at me. I don't remember the other two talking this young and so much (baby cooo's etc.) I think she'll turn out to be like her aunt Becca :) We love you all!

Grandma's Trip to the Pet Store...

Grandma Debbie thought she'd take the kids to the pet store one day to "just look at the pets", oh no- she had to bring one home for each child. Alex got an iwana (as Ashlee calls it and Ash got a bunny)- The kids enjoy them, but mom and dad get to take care of them in all our free time :)
