August...

Where has August gone? Seriously. I havent been that great at posting lately so I'll do a little recap of our month...

First, we had Kole's 10 month checkup. Good news! He's a healthy little guy.



Then we had Grace's birthday party at the park. We had so much fun. Settlers Park is the neatest park and best of all it is walking distance from our house. This park has a HUGE playground, big musical instruments, a pirate ship water park, rock climbing wall and they play movies in the park every Friday night. I've heard that they will also be adding an ampitheator soon too.






We also did a lot of this...





and when we were lucky, daddy would do this...



We went to a Hawks game. This was Kole's first and he did pretty well. We cheat the system. We buy the cheap 1st base bleacher tickets but we get there early enough to get a good seat in the Hawks nest. Its first come first serve for seat there. Way better sitting there than trying to keep the kids contained in seats the whole time. We went with the Zimmer's. Allie absolutly loves the Zimmer kids. They are our saving grace because the Zimmer kids absolutly love our kids too and they do a lot of babysitting for us. Allie & Kole both got balls from the Hawks players. Cool! The Zimmer kids also took Allie to run the bases at the end of the game.






and of course we did this a few times...



And my squash were infested by squash bugs... dirty little bastards. My poor pumpkin plant is taking the brunt of it. Although I do still have 8 healthy pumpkins.



Allie's little friend Chloe came to play.



And I even took a couple of these...




And then sadly we said good-bye to Gracie. She started kindergarden on Monday so she wont be here anymore. She was such a good little helper but I know is is having tons of fun at school!




I've also been pretty busy with my Scentsy. I did a booth at the Western Idaho Fair about a week ago and got lots of leads out of that. I've been prepping for our busy season too. The Fall/Winter catalog comes out in September and that by far is the busiest season for me. I cant wait!



We put Allie in a toddler bed last night. She was so excited! It took her quite awhile to actually fall asleep but she finally did. We never had a problem with her getting out of bed or falling out. She did so good! Hopefully tonight she'll do just as well. I also started painting little critters on her wall. I'll have to do some pictures when its all done. Here are a few photos of her pretending to sleep in her bed and then one picture of a butterfly that I finished last night.




OH! And how could I forget?! Kole is now army crawling. He is literally scooten around the whole house and that little sucker is FAST! He goes straight for the cords, he's tipped our end table over on himself TWICE and he is constantly in the cupboards and drawers. He is all boy!





Of course we also did a lot of softball. Whats new with that though- right?! Tim and I traveled to Twin Falls without the kids last weekend for a tournament and we had a lot of fun. Although we didnt get much sleep in. We had late nights and early mornings. We also made it down to the horse races a few times. Thats always fun! And last but not least, I got to help photograph a wedding this month. What an experience that was! It was a lot of fun and we got to use our creative juices a little bit PLUS it was a day away from my kids. I loved it! Whoooo... I am exhausted just thinking about all of that. This weekend is Labor Day weekend. We're gearing up for a BSU Football game on Saturday, a girls craft day for Sunday morning and a Luau party on Sunday evening. Here's to another busy one!!!
