i forgot to add in these lil team pics of soccer teams in the last post, but here they are: I'm not into buying them, I think it's a super waste of money, so I just took my own!

 and lil miss posed- mid "cheese"- for me too

Max wasn't in the mood...can you tell?

This wknd, Brent was out of town, and lucky for us, AUNT KYLI came down to play!!! we were excited to go to seven peaks, and get snow cones and have all types of fun!!!

It took a while to get ready, but we finally got down to peaks

so happy to just sit in the wave pool

and this brother is so happy to just play with her. he's the best

then they played hide and seek around mom for a bit...fun...for a minute :)

he asked me to take this one

she loves him.

it got a titch windy for a second. But it was long enough for sawyer to realize what was happening- not happening! She demanded we go straight home, but I talked her out of it.

Ky and Soy after the sun came back out.

Post peaks, we hit up Red Robin- of course- it's our favorite!

That night, Kyli and I had a wonderful time scaring finley, dancing in the kitchen, and laughing our heads off in my bed. It was fun. We never get to hang, and I loved every second of it.

We had a lil photo shoot before church- i mean, of course we did, do you know us at all!?

then she wanted a different picture cuz her braces were showing.

Then I tried to get a good one of her with the kiddos, but Sawyer couldn't tame her chin

and Conli was begging for us to do a "fashion" pose

but i think it was only cuz she wanted to do a fashion pose, and if we did it first she couldn't be left out!

and then they all did it.

Sawyer's first day of kindergarten FINALLY came.  She has waited for this day forEVER and was SOOO excited to wear her new clothies and do some posies for me.

Here she is in her shiny new desk- she was just sure everyone was staring at her when I took this....

Something else fantastical happened on this girls first day of school- she and Conli had their first ever DANCE CLASS!!!!! WAHOO!!!!! She was all for posing still.....

heheheheheh

Uncle JD has been in the play Arsenic and Old Lace for the last while and we got to go see him one night with the rest of the fam. Max and Xander were lucky enough to be included. It was funny. And he did a great job! Then he handcuffed the boys.....shoot!

We had the awesome experience to go feed the homeless in SLC last month. Brent's work has decided they want to do it once a month, and so our family, Matt's family and Summer's family went. It was a great thing. I'm so glad my kids came and got to see and learn so much.  It was heartbreaking to see all the kids that were there, and babies, and they were so sweet. One little sweetie in particular kept trying to get Brent to go play on the playground with her. She was adorable.  We brought 80 pizzas and 250 cups and we ran out of drinks!!!! Max was loving every second. He was so excited to help each and every person and get them the kind of pizza they wanted. He kept grinning and saying it was so fun!  Conli just wanted to eat the pizza and was upset she couldn't. Sawyer was the drink girl and was a little timid, but sweet.  It was so great.

Me & Sum

On Labor Day we joined the masses and took a turn at Bridal Veil. It was ridiculously crowded, but the kids had fun for about 1/2 hour. Then we went to Mana's for a BBQ.

I can't believe the leaves are already changing. I swear summer just started....ugh....but at least fall is wonderful, it's just what comes after it that has me worried.

Heather called to tell us there was a Bee's game with fireworks that night, so after dinner, we left Finley at Mana's and headed over.  It was baseball- not my fave. But it was a nice night and the kids had a blast.

Sawyer played photographer and told us how to pose- and apparently told me to pretend I was 76.....I look freakishly old here

buddy boys

her favorite pose- can you tell!?

her and her red BFF

friends

cute kids

maybe baseball games get boring for all

and fireworks! They were super short- which was weird, but the kids liked them

Sawyer was even the most brave of her life and watched them without hiding in the crevis of someone's lap!

Me and my nonnie.

Watching away

and family portrait- minus the wee babe.  Love these people!!! It's fun that they're getting older and we can just hang out and not worry about a thang!

My Max was going to have a bday soon after, so we decided to celebrate it as a family on the sunday before. Karri granted his birthday cake wish and gave him a packers one! He loved it. She does the cutest stuff.

He was super stoked to get some dollars

and Conli loves that I caught this

Gift cards- his new favorite thing.

He really wanted a green shirt with this number on it, but this had to do.

and his pants face.....

behold the legos

Love the fam for always spoiling our kids. They love their bdays so much. Karri also got him a skateboard on their shopping date and Mana and Papa got him an awesome helmet!!!!
