We are in denial that summer is already over. It went sooo fast!
All of the kids earned tickets to Lagoon by doing their summer reading. Alexa and Tyler read 5,000 pages; Tad read 2,000; and Liam read 1,000. The three oldest also typed up a book report. Alexa read Way of Kings; Tyler read How to Train Your Dragon and Percy Jackson; and Tad enjoyed Road Dahl, Hardy Boys, and Investigators.
We headed back to school in 8th, 6th, 3rd, 1st, and preschool. Audrey will be home by herself 3 days a week for a few hours while Nathan is in preschool, which will be a big adjustment for her.
Nathan wanted a Mario Kart birthday so we made a Mario cake and took him go karting. He was better at driving than I expected haha. He got the handle of the gas and brake pedals and steering wheel pretty fast. He got more train tracks, magnet trains, Duplos, some Mario toys, and a Mario coloring book for his birthday.

We had fun with the Slagles playing at Spanish Fork Reservoir.
I had a quick work trip to Chicago / Milwaukee and went to a Cubs game with some colleagues. After going to countless little league games this year it was amazing to watch a professional team. I was blown away when the outfielder threw it from the back of centerfield all the way home. The Cubs didn't score a single point but it was still a fun game. And Viggo Mortensen was only a few seats away from me so that was neat. I always enjoy Face Timing the kids when I'm away. And Kyle does an amazing job holding down the fort.

Funny Story:
Liam: Is it in Salt Lake?
Me: No, it's in a city called Farmington.
Liam: That sounds like Marmie. Like it's a city named after her. I'm going to call it Marmington.
