Random August Thoughts

 Gabby came and spent the night one night to play with the kids and let me tell you she was a HUGE help! I can't wait till Emry is old enough to help hold the baby so I can get some things done. It was so fun having her here!
 We have a pass to Thanksgiving point and so we have been going often. So fun to ride the ponies! Wesley was scared the first time but ever since then, he loves it and goes on it every time!

 Norah like to tag along too!
 Wesley playing dress up in their store. Cowboy!
 Random story: We had a friend over and the girls were doing a tea party while eating popcorn. I told them not to put their popcorn in their water. Well I walked away into the living room and I hear Emry's friend say, "Let's put the popcorn in the water." in a whisper. Emry says, "No, my mom said not to." Then her friend says, "If she sees us, we'll tell her it was Wesley who did it." And then Emry says, "No, we have to tell the truth. We don't lie and we don't keep any secrets from my mom."
I was sitting in the other room and my heart about burst out of my chest. I was so proud of my little girl for being honest and listening to the things we are trying so hard to teach her! So that night we praised her at dinner and told her she could pick the treat for the night. She picked ice cream so off we went to celebrate our little girl! We love her so much!

 We take lots of trips to our park. We love walking there and swinging on the swings! This is Norah's first time swinging!
 We went on a couple of hikes this summer with our friends. So much fun to be in nature and enjoy the cooler air up in the mountains. These two just love each other so much, it's the best!
 We made it to the (very small) waterfall! The kids loved playing in the rocks and water
 Norah liked the hike too!
 Afternoon snack looking all grown up! This is after my first attempt at cutting girl's hair. She looked pretty cute!
 We have loved that we get to see our Grandma and Grandpas so often. They come visit us a lot which makes us so happy! Here is Emry showing Grandpa how to go across the rope bridge at the aquarium.
