August Happenings

August flew by in the blink of an eye. 

 Aunt Chelsea came to town for a few days, so we pool partied a few times.

Roo's favorite "cool trick"

skinny dipping permitted if you are a toddler

We throughly enjoyed our backyard.

We had the best play date ever at the Thanksgiving Point Children's Garden with our little friend Tyce.

Mommy got to check out the Salt Lake Parade of Homes with Brooke and Daddy, which inspired her to tackle the office make-over (more on that to come in a future post).  

I love this wallpaper so much I could marry it- lol! Seriously, though, I'm going to put it in the downstairs powder room in the near future.

Grandma Dona and Great Grandma Mimi taught the kiddos the fine art of garage saling (sic).

We sent summer on it's way with ice cream, chalk, crayons, and a tea party.

Rainbow sherbet looked better than it tasted to Roo.  She kept asking to sample Wyatt's cookies and cream.

It's always fun until Wyatt starts throwing the crayons on the floor and Scout starts carting them off to the dining room to chew in peace under the table.

Ruby helped me prime our new chalkboard wall-- it was actually lots of fun (even for a super clean freak Mama).

Not a shabby way to end a really fun summer, if I do say so myself!
