Lovin' Life!

Life is good isn't it?  These are just some fun moments from August-

McKay pulled these boots on and yelled, "Mommy, I going to work!"

Logan is a forager!  He loves food and finds it everywhere he goes.  I open the fridge and he is always right behind me trying to climb in to get food out.  We go outside and he will eat raspberries and strawberries straight from the plant- no picking required, green or red.  He'll go into the orchard and pick up apples off the ground and try to eat them...he loves food!

Margaret made these fuzzy hats for the boys and they LOVE LOVE LOVE them.  Almost every night they run around playing "Giants" in their hats (it is a game where they run up and down the hall  Roaring at each other and laughing...very entertaining especially now that Logan joins in!)

 I canned tomatoes all by myself and they worked!  It worked so well I have done several batches since this first initial batch!!

 What a happy boy!  He thinks he is so big sitting in McKay's booster chair.  Logan is so easy going and happy- I love this little guy.  He can't help but make you smile!

Happy Birthday Katelyn!  "Cool Runnings" and Zesty- what more could you ask for?

Craft Night

Katelyn planned a girls night for some fun canvas painting and modge podge.  McKay tagged along and we all had a blast!

McKay loved it and really did a pretty good job on his painting

And then he enjoyed Curious George while we all kept crafting

 Adrian and I modge-podged scrapbook paper on our canvases and Katelyn free-hand painted hers.  They all turned out really fun.

The finished products- it was a lot of fun and I definately want to do it again!

August Adventures

Matt covered extra shifts throughout the summer as everyone took summer vacations and as it turned out, he ended up with a week off in August.  We decided to have a mini-vacation ourselves.  We didn't go anywhere but we had fun doing things together around home.  We went to an Orem Owlz game which was fun but I think there should only be 5 innings...baseball games get a little slow for me!

Next up we hit Two-Buck Tuesday at the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum (along with the rest of Utah County...)  It was crazy busy, but the boys still had fun.  After the museum we went to Cabelas and I think the boys had just as much fun there!

Last stop- Hogle Zoo.  I think this was our favorite of the week.  The zoo was a blast!  The boys loved all the animals especially the Polar Bear.  The bear was quite the show-off and came right up to the glass performing for the audience.  McKay was a little anxious but he liked it afterward!

 My gorillas!
