Guests and rain dancing!

 Charlie has a lot of toothbrushes, and sometimes wants two at once!
Cuddling with my sweet boy.
 Matching footie pajamas! I told them they didn't have to smile, since Alice had just hurt her knee.
 Paul's makeshift podcast narration studio to reduce echo.
 Cool shopping cart at Home Depot.
 Fun rain! Paul and I took umbrellas out while the kids danced in the rain, but we soon put the umbrellas down and joined in the fun!
 Pretty wet.
 Soaked!
 Charlie has been grouchy a lot this week.
 Our kids with Kristen Nufer's girls. Her (soon-to-be) 3 are almost the exact same ages as my soon-to-be 3 youngest!
 Cousin power!
 Making pie crusts.
 Auntie Cindy (my old coworker from BYU) helped with the apple pie making party.
 My very first made-from-scratch 2-crust pie.
 It turned out AWESOME!
 Charlie playing with Auntie Cindy's daughter Vanessa. They stayed with us 2 nights and a day leading up to Cindy's son's wedding.
 Success! 3 pies: chocolate pudding, pumpkin, apple.
 Me (in my pajamas!), Auntie Cindy, and Vanessa.
 The kids with the Swensons just before they left.
 Then the kids were tuckered out and needed a rest. Alice and Grace are spooning!
 Excited for the dentist!
 Making dinner together on Friday night. Charlie wasn't into it.
 Weird kids.
 The dignified picture of Paul - he wouldn't let me photograph his earlier silliness.
 Cuties!
 Lazy Saturday afternoon.
 So handsome!
 Cupcake making after the rain party and baths.
 Alice's pepper she grew fell off the plant before it could get any bigger.
 Still proud of it.
Cupcakes!
The rain party.

Just another week in August

 Happy boy one morning before his sisters woke up.
 Mohawk boy.
 With Grace.
 Our under-deck and garden during a crazy rainstorm.
 I set up a tent for the kids to play in on the deck one day.
 Charlie liked it.
 Spaghetti night makes Charlie crazy!



 Play area at the mall.


 Bad mood attitude.


 Grace and Purple Kitty.
 Cute kids.
 Riding the Daddy horse.
 Tent time.
 Photo shoot at the shady stake center parking lot by the temple.




 Cute new matching headbands!
 Trees by the temple.


 New Bear Lake pajamas from the grandparents Gabe.
All ready for church this morning.
