Kyle and Tyler started the month with a trip to Indiana for #GenCon. They loved being able to see the Sweeny family. Tyler had a blast fusing glass, exploring outside, using a typewriter, and making crepes with Roan. They have a lot in common and got along so well. And he had a blast playing Magic the Gathering, doing Legos, and all things fun with Caleb.
While they were gone Alexa was a big help with the younger kiddos so I could work. We tried to hit up the park in the evenings as much as possible. We also used our Get Out Pass to try a fun trampoline park with Dean and Lily.
On Nathan's birthday we went swimming at the Lindon Pool. Alexa baked and decorated his cake and is now the official party master of the house. Nathan loved his new train track set, bubble machine, and toy trucks he got for his birthday.
Our kids are growing up fast. Alexa is in 7th grade, Tyler 5th, Tad 2nd, Liam kindergarten, and Nathan his first year of preschool. Alexa chose drama, debate, ceramics, choir, agriculture, and psychology for her electives. Alexa and Griffin (our across-the-street neighbor) ride bikes to the middle school together. Tyler and Tristan rollerblade to elementary school along with Tad the bike rider. Liam bikes home with them after kindergarten.
I went to Vegas for a pet show for work and saw some crazy dogs while I was there. I also had some fun FaceTime calls with these cute kids.
We had a fun family date night. We missed Dad who stayed home to put Audrey to bed, but the rest of us got Macey's ice cream cones and went bowling. Nathan jumped in the air cheering every time his ball knocked down a pin. The excitement was contagious.
We closed out August with a beautiful hike to Rocky Mouth Falls.
Other shenanigans in August: Tad and Liam share a towel coming out of the shower, Liam wears his cool new sunglasses any chance he gets, Tyler makes fun stuff with his 3D pen, the kids wave goodbye to me outside almost every morning when I leave for work, we love family lunch at the park, and Audrey is an adorable eating machine -- especially with fruit!

Funny Stories
We have some ants around the kitchen this time of year that get in through the crawl space and Nathan lovvvvves them. He is always talking to them and picking them up to walk around on his hand. He calls them his pet ants.
Marmie and Grandpa flew to UT for Charlotte's baptism and stayed with us. They walked into the house from the airport and Liam immediately ran up to them saying, "Marmie and Grandpa, look what I can do!!" and proceeded to do armpit farts with the biggest grin on his face. He was so proud of his new talent.
