More August and September Fun!

I told myself I wouldn't back track but I couldn't help sharing some pictures from the last couple of months. They were busy months! The pictures are not any in order so sorry for that~ 

The end of August we headed down to Utah and went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. We also visited our good friends the Newman's while we were in Utah. 

Also in August I attended a Mother Daughter activity with my mom and sisters. 

We also went to Grand Teton National park and hiked into a lake. The kids loved splashing and the area was just beautiful! 

Clark turned 10 months old in August! 

Also in August...Collecting eggs from our chickens! 

Chase at work!

In September we headed to Boise to attend Gr. Nye's 80th birthday! It was great and we had lots of fun! 

One day we had a picnic lunch with daddy at the park. 

Getting ready for Halloween! 

More zoo attending with friends. 

Best friends! (I hope!)

Some more of July and some of August...

The summer is going by too fast! We have had so much going on but it has been great. I love to take advantage of the summer months. 

Back in July my brother came up from Utah for a week. So we did some fun stuff. We went swimming and to a Chuckars game. 

Me and my boys!

Here are some more camping pictures from Meadow Lake which I mentioned in my last post. It was just beautiful there! 

Can you get cuter than this??

SO awesome! 

Campfire popcorn...

Kayaking...

Picnicing...

Then exploring the nearby ghost town. 

Later we also went to the splash pad in Rexburg with some friends. 

At the end of July, Chase went backpacking with his brothers and Dad to Alice Lake. 

It looked way pretty there and they had a good time. 

Alvin and Clark! Good brothers. 

Clark learning an effective way to drink from his sippy cup. 

The beginning of August, Chase's two brothers came to visit and we went on a group date. They all live in Idaho, so not far, but it is fun to get together and have them come visit. 

Look who learned to climb up the stairs...

This last weekend we went camping again at Granite Creek. It was a bit rainy while we were there but it was really beautiful and nice. It was fun because my sister was in town from Texas and so we had a week of fun with her and her daughter, Cami. I will have to post more pictures or our activities. 

We went swimming in the natural hot springs there. It was just a lovely spot. 

Throwing rocks! This boys top ten activities! 

Eating rocks...(maybe a top ten activity! Ha ha)

Crawling all over the place! 

Of course knocking down stuff as well! 

We got a zoo pass this summer so we have been a few times. Alvin loves the zoo and all the animals. 

Some garden produce....I can't wait until we get bunches and bunches of raspberries. It is still getting to that point. 

Also in July, we had some friends from Indiana come through to pick up their daughter from BYU-I and they stayed with us a night. It was so fun to see them and catch up! 

Alvin sporting some glasses. 

Riding on the fun land ride! We have been doing the summer reading program and he has got lots of cool prizes!
