August Fun

 This little boy is such mover and a shaker.  He loves, loves to climb and get into mischief.

 We were able to attend the Ogden Temple open house with my family.  It was truly gorgeous, there's nothing better than having nearly all my family in the temple together.  Families are forever.

 My parents with all their grandkids, minus Miss Olivia.

 Tyce is a plasma car maniac.  When we head out to the garage he sprints to get on one.  We've had a few close calls on our steep driveway because he has very little fear or understanding that he's putting his life at risk by trying to go down alone. Oh boy.

 He's also very attracted to the road :) Death wish anyone?  Hope he's cured of this tendency very soon.

 Checking out all Dad's gray hair...who doesn't do this on a perfect summer evening.

 His grossness never surprises me, but always intrigues me.

 On our last day of summer we got together with the Oyler chicas for some swimming in their neighborhood pool.  Fun!  Afterward, they all humored me by going to get shaved ice because I hadn't gotten around to that this summer.

 Claire with her rainbow ice.

 Jaren with his never-ending thumbs-up.

 Mia. Yes, she ate it all.

 Libbie refused to let me take a picture of her with her giant cake batter shaved ice.  They truly are as big as your head. See?

 First day of school. Yay from Mom and Claire.  Boo from everyone else. Claire is stoked to be in Mrs. Fenn's first grade class.

 Mallory is in Ms. Mickelson's 4th grade class.

 Libbie is an eighth-grader.

 Mia is in Ms. Decker's 5th grade.

 Cute sisters.

 Jaren also started preschool this year.  He's in Mrs. Flack's class two days a week.  This means that I only have Tyce at home during the day for 2 hours, 2 times a week.  The first day this happened, it was a little erie and sad, but mostly I'm enjoying a little quiet time to work or shop or do whatever I want.  Ha ha.

 Tyce is quite happy about eating dirt. Oh, and he's learned to do the slide by himself which he also thinks is pretty neat.

So happy these two have each other to play with (and torture).
