Gotta love the Fair!

Taylee's face in this picture says it all. We were not sure if she was scarred or having fun. By the time she got off the ride she wanted to go again

I always said I would never be one of those parents that put a leash on children. Well we have no choice with Taylee. She is at the stage where she wont stay in a stroller because she wants to walk next to Nahkia. She wants to be doing things and touching things and playing with things. She at first thought the Monkey Backpack/leash was cute, but by the end of the night she was pulling on its tale and trying everything she could think of to break free.

Lazy Afternoon

We decided we needed to go have a pic-nic before the summer was over. We like to go down into the Canyon and let our dog swim around and let the girls play.

1st Grade!!!

Is summer over already? I feel this summer flew by. Nahkia started first grade this year and is loving every minute of it. She enjoys school so much and she loves her teacher. We put her in public school this year because we moved into a really good school district. She went to a private Christian School the past two years, which she really enjoyed as well. She has about 22 classmates compared to about 10 she had before. So it is a little bit of a change and a much larger school. We were worried that she might be a little scared and shy but when I picked her up she had so many stories to tell me. So we sat down and had a snack while I listen to her talk about her teacher and classmates. She was so worried that this school wouldn't have recess like the other one and she said, "mom we got to go out 3 times, 3 times mom!" So its looking like a good start to an exciting new school year.

Where's Dan?

While the girls and I were visiting my sister in Kansas, Dan and his friend Dale took a road trip through Montana, Wyoming and Idaho for about 4 days and 3 nights. He had a blast! They put about 1200 miles on those hogs! He is already planning next years trip.

Road trip

Kansas or Bust!

Our second part of our vacation was a trip to visit my sister Amanda and her family. She just had another baby girl. So my girls, my mom and I flew out to see her for a week.

Baby Grace!

The newest addition to the Taylor Family! She was such a sweet and calm baby. She is so cute and she is starting to get my sisters gorgeous red hair.

Having Fun!

Women be Shoppin'

We went shopping to 3 different malls on 3 different days! Some might say we were crazy in the humidity and all to go shopping with 4 small girls, but hey it is what we do best! We got this!

Cabin Fun!
