First Day of 2nd Grade

This year Carlie was so excited to go back to school! We had a much smoother transition than last year and Carlie loves her new teacher, Mrs. Oz:)

Every grocery store needs one of these!!

If only every grocery store had one of these I think I could say grocery shopping was "enjoyable"!! It was the best and easiest shopping trip I have ever had in 7 years!!

One last Summer getaway!

We went up to Park City for one last getaway for the summer:) We went shopping, ate at a really good Mexican Restaurant, El Chubasco, went swimming, watched people practice ski jumping into water at the Olympic Park and went down the Alpine Slide (after some convincing)!! It was a fun weekend and we are sad to see the summer fun come to an end!!:)

Getting ready to ride chairlift to top of slide:)

Riding the chairlift to the top of the mountain, Carlie is getting more nervous!!

Cayden can't wait!!

Last chance to turn around!! Too bad there was only 1 way down at this point or Carlie may have taken it:)

We made it!! "That was so much fun, can we go again??"

Tour de Utah

We went up to Snowbird and watched the final leg of the Tour de Utah. The kids thought it was fun to watch the bikers race up the mountain and ring there cow bells!! It is amazing how many days and miles they ride in the end. Just going up the canyon to Snowbird would have been enough for me:)

This was the winner of the Snowbird portion of the race

Jai Crawford, Fly V Australia

The "crazy" people always come out to these events!! This guy would run along the racers as they would come and pour water on them and try to push them up the hill!!

Everyone just lined their cars up the side of the canyon to watch

Dinosaur Park

We took the kids to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. A lot of it is outside so you want to go on a "good" weather day but maybe not on a day when it is 100 degrees:)

The kids favorite part was digging for "real" dinosaur bones:)

It was a fun day and my kids are both happy that dinosaurs are not alive today!!:)

Rachel

This is my new soon-to-be sister-in-law:) We had a bridal shower at my house for her. Family, friends and of course good food made for a fun afternoon!!

I had to steal a picture from her blog (THANKS):) I forgot to take a picture of just Rachel at the shower:)
