August Stuff

It's not really like me but I didn't take a bajillion pictures this month! We went on 2 trips - one to the Shakespeare Festival (which I already blogged about) and one to Idaho for Christian & Jess' wedding (which I didn't take pictures at sadly!)  Other than that we did the same old summer stuff - lots of playing outside, swimming, walks, parks, etc. We also had a ward campout (but we just went up for the evening), a couple bridal showers, birthday parties, and family activities.  And then school started on the 22nd and it's back to real life!  But here are a few random pictures:

Graham and his car.  He LOVES this car. He wants to be outside all the time - so we do a lot of it :)

I love this little cheeser! He really is the happiest little guy and he brings so much joy into our home!

 We got to go to the MTC open house and the first missionary we ran into was Jon!  How fun to see him!

 The kids loved the bus ride over :) We went with my parents, Becca, and Aaron and his three oldest kids. The new MTC is amazing and it was so amazing to show the kids inside.

 Callie got a hair cut and it looked adorable!

 We love video calls with dad...especially when he makes awesome faces and I screen shot them and send them back to him :)

 Now that Graham's getting older, the kids are having more and more fun with him.  Rides in the baby stroller are among the favorite.

We went to Christian & Jess' wedding and it was beautiful!  There was a beautiful wedding dinner at Jared & Trina's house and then we went to the sealing and then the reception at night.  It was fun to be with family.  Becca came with us as our babysitter and it was so fun to have her there with us!  We rented a little basement apartment in Nampa and it was a little interesting part of town but it was perfect for us and fit us great...even though it kinda felt like we were in a dungeon :)  One night Becca and I stayed up and watched "The Zookeeper's Wife" and that was a beautiful movie.  On the way home ate some yummy Costa Vida and played at a park...and that's the only picture I took.

 We've been enjoying our Thanksgiving Point passes.  With Graham's animal obsession, he especially loved Farm Country.  A lot of our friends have passes too and it's fun to meet up with them there.

And that sums up all my pictures from August!
