Apparently, a late night :) We hardly have any of those in the summer ;)

The spa cover has officially become THE hot pool toy! The play on it for hours! This is Hudson and Zacky

Grandma taught Taylor how to make rice pudding :) One morning, Taylor and Noelle and Zacky went over to Grandmas and made homemade cinnamon rolls and rode horses. They had a blast! The kids love to cook, so I definitely vote for cooking classes!

We've been having gorgeous sunsets! This is off our deck :)


First day of school! I can hardly believe summer is over. It has officially been the fastest summer ever! I'm SO sad!! Daddy came back since it was my birthday too...so he made the kids breakfast and then planned (and I mean itinerary and all...so cute) a fun day for me. We went running on the canal with Corndog, he made me breakfast, then took me for a massage. Then we had lunch together at Roxberry and a new cheesesteak place. Then we went to the temple then out to dinner at Olive Garden with the kids. Fun dinner catching up with the kids on school. Then I got massage part 2 while we watched Australia. Bryan teased me that I had intenionally picked the longest movie ever since he promised a massage during the whole thing :) He got me a merry maids gift card (yeah!), rings, flower cake and banana protein :) funny guy! Fun day. Very relaxing :) It's been crazy around here lately, so it was much appreciated! Love my cute husband!

Taylor's in 6th and Zacky's in 4th. Holy cow! Zacky got Hudson in his class and Taylor got Brittney and Austin. Couldn't be happier for them! Taylor came home so happy and loves her teacher (she was worried because of her 'mean' reputation). My heart is so happy for her! She deserves a fun year and I think this will be it! She even sits right across from Brittney! Zacky's not thrilled about Mrs. Smith (and neither is mommy), but he's so chill that it shouldn't be a problem. He even said, 'don't worry, she'll love me. All my teachers do!' Cocky, yet true :)

He loves his new shoes and customized them with opposite laces and socks??? Funny kid! He was so cute when he came in to get his hair done...he just walked in with the sly smile. I could tell he knew he looked cool :)

Daddy sent Corndog to school too :)


Zacky came down like this on Friday??? Who knows!

Taylor is SO happy, because while we were school shopping in San Fransisco, she found juniors pants that fit..size 0. They are EXTRA long, so she couldn't be happier!! I told her if I heard one peep about her pants being too short, I'd lose it! She also got a bra this week! Journal entry day :) Noelle came with us (she had gotten a crop bra while we were gone and I think Taylor was a little jealous). After choosing some shirts that were showing off her noobies a little too much, I told her the bra was no longer an option. I think she's happy, although she will not admit it! How is she this old!

Sad news, Taylor and Noelle's ice skating teacher is going on a mission, so we'll be having to find a new one. So not happy! We loved Alicia! We got to go to her going away party. Skating and pizza for the whole family. Zacky spent most of the hour sitting next to me watching baseball on T.V.



All summer, Tiff and I have said we needed to have party day, where we played at the pool, then went to Chuck a Rama (ever since Tiff took Zacky, it has been the place to go!?) and then movies and nerf gun wars at Tiffs. Somehow we never found a day before school. We ended up doing it Saturday. The kids had a blast and we are trashed! Summer is over :(
This place makes all the kids happier than Disney Land!
