August 15 - New Family Picture for Brian's family!
The bottom picture was the original that we took without Celia, the top is the one that my sister Tricia doctored up to include Celia! She's a magician!
August 17 - Ryder got to come hang out with me. He played a little basketball game of his own while we watched the Jazz on TV. Then we had to vacuum up some crumbs, and he was very brave and did it himself.
August 19 - We had Ryder, then Molly and Hallie came too. Ryder and Molly learned how to shoot the arrows really well.
We made a date with Maden to go to Olive Garden, Ryder got to come along too. They had a good lunch, then we went for ice cream at Reed's Dairy, we saw the animals and Maden got to meet some of Blake's relatives and have a family history lesson.
August 21 - See the smoky sky and the red sun? The kids had a fun day playing in the shed on the 4 wheelers. Even Hallie got to play on them. Then they had a little ride. Hallie was in heaven!
August 22 - I drove with my parents to my sister, Lynne's in Woodruff, Utah. We went to be part of Baby Paul's blessing and to attend Jackie and Mike's Open House. The top left picture is a 4 generation, with Lynne, Michelle, Mom and Dad and baby Paul. It was a good day. We stayed in Randolph in some tiny little cabins. I wish I had taken a picture of the outside. It was tiny, but it was nice and pretty close to Lynne's house.
Aug 25 - Ryder was so excited that he got to go inside Grandpa Chin Chopper's house after almost 6 months. He was even more excited to play air hockey with Grandpa!
August 26 - This big guy gets to go to Kindergarten! How is that even possible?
We had a little backyard pizza dinner with my parents, Michelle and her family and my nephew Adam Taylor so he could introduce us to Kayla Harris. It was a fun little party, and good to see Adam again.
