Kyle took both kids on our Ward father sons campout and they loved it. They got to roast s'mores and sleep in a tent and have the time of their lives.
The kids also finished up their swim lessons this month. Alexa did really well and Tyler has somewhat of a love-hate relationship with swimming. He gets excited to go and then cries every lesson, but is doing well at floating on his own.
It's been fun to have the kids play together all day and run around with Roxy and the chickens in the backyard.
We were excited to welcome more family to Utah in August when Emily and Jered moved out! It is so wonderful to have more siblings and cousins close by.
Tyler started potty training and he's a natural. He caught on by the end of the first day. When I asked if he was done going to the bathroom yet he said, "No. Be patient!" And then "I did it!" after pooping in the toilet while flexing his arms and smiling excitedly. We are still working on making it through the night, so both kids have been sleeping on bare mattresses with beach towels for weeks.
We sold our scooter and Alexa cried. They look like little bobbleheads with those big helmets riding around the neighborhood with Daddy.
Granny called and said she missed us and was lonely, so we immediately planned a sleepover party for the next day. She is so cute to read books with the kids and they like to give her a foot massage and paint her toes in return. Her smile while the kids are in front of her with their toes on display is my favorite.

Lastly, the kids are on a Super Why kick and love to run around with capes and pretend to be superheroes who spell words all day. It's pretty great.
