August Randoms

August came and went just like the rest of summer and before we knew it school started.

June started 2nd Grade 

 Owen made his big debut at Cox Elementary! It is crazy that we two in elementary school! 

We take them to school in the morning but in the afternoon they ride the bus. It has been super successful and the kids really like riding the bus with their friends but still not have to wake up too crazy early to get to school! 

This year Kate started dance with June. They were so cute wearing their matching leotards. 

Owen started his season of soccer with the Jetts! This will be his fourth season! 

With the kids starting school, Kate and I have a lot more time just us two and I try to make the most of it when we can. Kate didn't start school for another week after the kids started. So we took the time to go visit the zoo. Kate has been wanting to go to the zoo so badly so we went! 

It honestly was such a fun little day with her. It was just me and her and it was great. I went at her pace and we did all the things that she wanted to do. We really had a blast!

It was then officially time for Kate to start her second year of preschool at St. Peters. She is now in the blue room and goes two days a week. 

Of course in August the weather is still crazy hot so after shchool we always head up to the pool with friends. Walker and Kate were so cute together just floating around on this inner-tube 

The end of August my nephew had his mission farewell in Utah, so I left the kiddos with Dan and babysitters and flew to Utah for the weekend. 

Brookie and I went and did a fun hike up Bridal Falls. My sister took me up these crazy steep trails to get up to the top of the waterfalls. It was crazy but so fun! 

We also went golfing with the fam. I don't golf but I do love making fun of them and driving the cart, so it was fun! 

Me and little Parker

Sunday my nephew had his farewell and then we had a luncheon after. It was then time to head to the airport. 

Sweet little Kate wanted to go to school one day but it wasn't't her day to go and she got all sad. So we pretend it was a school day and she wore her backpack all over while we ran errands. 

Reading stories while we waited for the kids to get off the bus. 

August was a good month. At the end of it, it felt good to start getting into some structure and start getting into a better routine with the kids.
