September Happenings 2017

Molly and Ryder love hot tub time with Grandpa.  Molly is a fish and Ryder is getting braver.

We went to the Eastern Idaho Fair Parade.  Molly needed to watch some Minnie Mouse while we got ready, Grandpa wrapped her up in a nice blanket.  Randy and Jared went early and saved us a nice spot, but then a bunch of people came and stood in the road in front of us, so we couldn't see much of the parade and left early.

At the fair, the marines had a pull up bar, so Annie, Brian and Maden had to test it out.

The tractors, animals, petting zoo are the fun part of the fair. Clark loved the petting zoo and the horse ride.  The horse was trying to eat Annie's shoe. It was hot for the fair this year, getting up to almost 90!  Ryder went to the fair several times, he got so he could tell where everything was.

I love it when we get cute pictures in the group texts! Ryder and Molly got to ride in the side by side at Uncle Bart's house.  Molly is such a little poser for pictures, just like her mommy.  This is Annie's first day of preschool.  She was so excited to go, and she seems to love it still.

Brian and Celia had a little family tennis match, it's so fun for the kids to get big enough to play with them.  Annie loves her huge sunflowers that grew in front of their house. Molly loved watching some Disney on my bed with Maden and Annie.

Blake, Jared, Randy and Ryder took the boat to Blacktail for one last little outing.  Jared wake-boarded, and Randy skied.  They said it was the perfect last boat trip.

Molly loves to go see Brody and play with the special dump truck.  Brian's family took some of their amazing sunflowers to Brody.  Blake, Jared, Molly, Courtney, Ryder and I (I know, funny combination of people, but that's how it worked out) went to see some of the homes on the Parade of homes. It was rainy and wet and muddy, so Jared had to carry the two kiddos, they are getting heavy! When we were at Texas Roadhouse, we tied Ryder's napkin around his neck for a bib, and whatever you do for Ryder, you have to do for Molly too.

We had Blake's birthday dinner on Sunday, Sept. 17th.  The kids love singing and blowing out the candles.  

After dinner, Annie, Ryder, Clark and Molly got corralled in the horse trailer for some unknown reason, they didn't seem to mind. Then Grandpa went swinging with the triplets.

On the 20th, I took Ryder to story time at the library.  He had a good time and I think he'll grow to like it, if I can remember to take him! He loved doing the candles in the pie for Grandpa on his birthday on the 21st.

September 23 - Princess Party in Rupert.  Nikelle, Molly, Celia, Annie, Maden, Nichole and Evie and Addie Pasley and I went to Rupert for the annual Princess Party.  Annie and Clark had to get their nails all ready the day before, Maden had to model his Prince Eric costume before hand too.  Cute Prince and Princesses!

Arial was so glad that her Prince Eric came to the party.  One Cinderella crowning another cute little Molly Cinderella.  Annie was Ahna, and Evie was Elsa, they were both pretty shy about getting the pictures taken with the bigger Ahna and Elsa.

There was a fun tea party, where they served us lunch, then the princes and princesses came into the room and sang beautiful songs.  The kids all knew the words from "Frozen" and "Moana".  Ahna chose Maden to be "The One".  They learned how to bow and curtsy, and how to hula dance.  It was a fun day.

We'll wrap up September with some random pictures.  Brian and Celia harvested their garden, everyone was impressed with the watermelon and pumpkins.  Molly had to take her shirt off, so she didn't get her white shirt dirty when she ate pizza, so of course Ryder had to take his shirt off too.  Molly ran up to this lion at the zoo and sat down and said "cheese".  She knows that you take pictures at the zoo.  Ryder loved going to the Draper Temple with Coourtney.  Maden is getting pretty good at eating with chopsticks.
