School Starting!

The last weeks of summer are always so bittersweet! It's so super hot and we are kind of tired of being at home, but at the same time, does school always have to be the solution? :) The taco of the month at our favorite, Torchy's, was called the Scalding Pig, and it featured ghost peppers and Neal ordered it and Parker tried it and immediately regretted it. For hours.

We signed up to help an interfaith organization here in town called 6 Stones. They did an outreach to hand out backpacks to needy kids. We had a lot of fun and Neal got to use his Spanish!
Miles was being his usual weird self on the way there. He found these funny glasses and was preparing for his school picture pose.

Audrey looked so pretty in this white summer dress the day before school started. I had to snap a pic! That night, Neal gave the kids blessings as they prepared to start the next morning.


Trooper sometimes insinuates himself into the morning drive to school. He was looking all majestic this day, perched up on the seat.


I don't really know where these people come from.

We hit up the fun Ninja Warrior park one day, a perfect solution for those steamy August days!


Parker, in all of his manly braun, helping bring in the groceries for me one day. All of the groceries.

Here they are the morning of the first day!

Miles' Ninth Birthday

We celebrated this wonderful boy for a few days. He had a couple of friends join us at NRH20, a fun water park nearby, then a couple of other friends come over for pizza and a Rangers game. He has so many great buddies, we are so grateful for that!


Buds from church: Simon, Brigham and Matthew

The old pizza on towels on the floor trick we used to do as kids.


Fun times! We love you, Miles!

Parker's Trip to the Temple

We had a lovely day in the temple for Parker's first visit. It took us longer to get there than I anticipated (a little more than three months!), but it was a beautiful day. He and Audrey were able to be baptized for some family members and it was lovely!


This is us after we were done, when our hair is all crazy! Martha and Mark joined us, which was so nice!
