Enjoying Summer

Malia is FULL OF IT!!  Lately she dresses up
and primps in front of the mirror a lot.  She is
becoming vain, and it's really cute...for now.

Had a blast at the derby. Derby's really are so fun. We love
watching cars crash into each other, especially since you
are normally supposed to avoid that.  Riley was a big fan!

Malia had fun too.  She like the pink cars.  Believe it or not
there were a couple.  It was fun to get out with just Riley and
Malia.  Gracie was with Kelsey and Ryan.

The best round, by far, was the trucks!

Went up the canyon with all the friends in the neighborhood.
There were a lot of people!  Facebook really is a good way to
get the word out.  Had so much fun.

Our neighbor, who happens to be the bishop, brought up a couple
horses for the kids to ride.  Malia was SO excited.  I don't think
she's ever been on a horse, but she loved it!

Gracie turned 1 month August 15th.  And this looks
like a smile.  She actually is starting to smile.  Love
these two little girls.

Well we don't have a bear rug but a pink blanket will do for the
traditional naked-baby-on-belly shot.  She wouldn't tuck her
knees under..she insisted on having her tush in the air!  Oh
and notice her mullet.  I love that mullet.

After her showers, she has crazy clown hair.

Riley's first day of 3rd grade!  Oh my gosh I love this kid so
much.  And heaven knows I sometimes worry myself sick,
probably for no reason.  I am writing this while he is in school,
and I hope he had a good first day.  I'm sure he did!  And
notice Malia's ears...giant clip-ons.  VAIN!!!

It looks like he's doing the "Talk to the hand" snub, but
actually they are doing a high five.  This is the principal.
Each new school year, the kids walk up a red carpet with
music playing and her standing at the end.  Cool!  

Oh he's so cute.  I was the only mom in there taking
pictures, demanding hugs, and kissing cheeks.  Poor Riley!
