Football season, already?

I was so surprised when Dave announced it was time to mow the Y in the backyard. It can't be football season already!

While he was mowing, the girls gave the tree a haircut. They love doing this! But are only allowed in the fall, when the leaves are about to die anyway.

On Saturday, Dave and I went on a date to the opening BYU football game. It was really hot for the first half or so, but we had a great time.

We got to see 8 of BYU's legendary, All-American, quarterbacks honored at half time.

 Dave got tickets with his friends from work, but this time we were able to bring our friends from the neighborhood, Lisy and Tyler. Lisy and I had a lot of fun visiting, but we did cheer on the Cougars when they needed our help to get the win.

miscellaneous summer photos

I have a bunch of miscellaneous photos left from this summer. I am just putting them all together into one random post. So here goes...

We had a couple of barbeques at our house the last week in July. The first one was with all of Dave's work friends just before his best friend from work, Jon, moved to Texas. Dave was so sad to have him leave. Hopefully they will be able to stay good friends with all the many convenient ways we have to keep in touch. We will really miss Jon's amazing cooking, especially on the grill.

Kimee and Camille (not wanting her picture taken :)

A few of the guys (Jonathan, McKay, Jon and Dave) at the grill.

The next barbeque was when my sister Lora and her daughter Sage were in town from Arizona. We had so much fun spending time with them.

Sage got to sleepover and go to church with us.

Kimee and Audrey had lots of fun in the blow up pool, especially with the big alligator (from their birthday party).

We had a little bit of weird weather the first week of August. Some bright sunsets, weird clouds, and sun showers. This was the tail end of a really bright orange sunset on August 1st.

Rain on Aug. 4.

to be famous

Audrey is sitting in the chair and Kimee is using her "new" camera to take Audrey's picture.

Kimee: Audrey, do you want to be really famous?
Audrey: Yes.
Kimee: Then do what I tell you.

haircuts

Kimee, Audrey, and I had a fun date getting our back-to-school hair cut at Wendy's.

Here are a few pictures of our new do's.

Audrey is being silly, as always. Kimee decides to join in...

Zoo & Wolf Creek

We decided to plan a fun weekend just before I had to go back to work. Dave took the day off and we went to the zoo. Then we went up to Wolf Creek for a fun weekend of swimming, relaxing, games, movies, and good food.

 Kimee wanted the big elephant, so she was mad she was on the small one.

Our favorite, the train!

There was a lifeguard break when we got to the pool, so we had a few minutes before we could get in the water. I took a few pictures while we waited.

Despite really wanting to go before we got there, neither of the girls could get their courage up to go down the slide. (And parents can't go with them). It sure looks like fun, but it's a little scary when you get to the top!

Maddi finally warmed up in the pool and had fun kicking her legs and playing (not just holding on tight for dear life, like she's done in the past).

I didn't take many pictures at the pool, because I was swimming too. Also, I didn't get pictures in the condo, but Grandma and Grandpa K came up to swim and have a yummy BBQ dinner with us Friday night. Jill, Jeremy, and Jackson came up on Saturday to hang out with us. We had a great time!

Maddilyn: 15 months

Maddilyn went to the doctor for a checkup and some shots just after turning 15 months. She weighed 27 pounds and was 32 1/2 inches tall. She is a big girl (95-96 percentile). Her top two molars have been coming through, and the bottom two are getting close, so she has been a little more cranky than her normal self.

She now does cheesy grins for the camera, it is so funny :)

 You can see she is still missing the bottom tooth on her left.

She's 16 months old today and is as cute as ever.
On the down side, she is getting into so much stuff and making messes everywhere!
We all love Maddi and wouldn't trade her for the world!
