Sisters

 Macy 17 months

Lily 22 months

You can definatly tell they are sisters... but they have different eyes!

They are so cute I could eat them up!!!!

Poor Macy and all her hand me downs!!

Preschool and the girlies!

 Here is Lily on her first day of preschool! She is getting so big and LOVES that she gets to go to school!

 I am doing a neighborhood co-op preschool this year it is only once a week.

She still has another year of preschool next year!!

 My kids can't handle the sun! I guess next time I will take the pictures inside! Cute little Macy had to join in with her big sister!

 Cute Macy Bug!

 I try to run errands with just Macy while Lily is at school, but I do for sure while Tyson is at school! The less kids at the store the better!

But this day at Smith's Lily was my little shopper!

She did everything all by herself!!

 These are just random pictures! Lily wants me to take her picture all the time!!

 Little rag-a-muffins in the backyard!

 Lily loves to take pictures too! Nice flower shot!

 Me fixing Macy's hair!

 Me and Macy behind a plant!

 And the girls relaxing!

Tyson is gone from 8:10am till 3:45pm so it is me and the girls almost all day long!

We miss our Tyson though!

 The other night the sunset was so pretty just lighting the mountains and the valley was dark!

I love the view from our back deck!

Stuff!

 Yummy! Creamies!!

 Stella, Bryly and Lily enjoying Creamies!

(Stella hates having her picture taken!! :))

These are two of Lily's friends that live on our street!

We love where we live!!

 

 Macy LOVES spaghetti!!

She licks it out of her bowl!

 The camera was out so Lily wanted a picture in Tyson's shoes!

 and a picture with the Utes football schedule!

 Last Saturday we packed a picnic dinner and headed to Snowbird to eat it, but it was Oktoberfest, so we ended up at Alta!

It was so beautiful and cool!

 The crew (minus me!)

(Lily loves the camera!!)

 Oh, there I am!

 Lily took this picture with her finger!!

 Tyson's turn to be photographer!

Macy is behind Lily!

 Lily's turn again!

 Tyson's again!

 Beautiful!

 Tyson's first day of 1st grade!

(He had allergies. His eyes were itchy and the sun hurt them!)

but he sure looks handsome!

 Walking to the bus stop!

 The girls get a nice wagon ride up hill to the bus stop!

Then after Tyson gets on the bus, we go for a walk around the neighborhood!

 This is Lily and Macy's new favorite way to relax and watch TV! I love it!!

That is what we have been doing lately! (at least what has been documented on camera!!)

Rain, Boondocks, Dance Parties, Macy's 15 months, and more fire!!

 Cute Lily watching TV with all her "friends"!!

Too Cute!

So we have had a couple good summer rain storms and we have found out that Macy LOVES to play and dance in the rain!

We already knew the others loved it, but Macy refuses to come in when we are done!

(there is a video if it works at the end of this post!)

For Brandon's company party we got to go to Boondocks!

Tyson rode in his own bumper boat and Brandon and Lily were in another!

Tyson LOVED getting others soaked and Brandon and Lily were good at getting soaked!!

Tyson and I, then Lily and I rode the slick track and they loved it!

It was a fun day with the family!!

 So this was the Pinyon fire from my front door!

Brandon has been out of town, so I was praying that we wouldn't have to evacuate!

The winds started heading it East and it started to sprinkle so we were OK!

My Sister called to check on me because her husband is a firefighter in Roy and they had some trucks that were being sent to Herriman and that usually means they need extra help saving stuctures! Luckily it wasn't for us!!

 This was when the fire started heading East!

We had an ashy rainstorm and it sure smelled like smoke, but we got to stay home!!

 Macy had her 15month Well Baby visit yesterday!

Her stats are:

Height: 30.9 inches....50%

Weight: 23.3lbs....75%

Head: 19.3 inches....92%

She had to get 3 shots and we also had her get her flu shot, so 4 total.

She was miserable when we got home. She refused to walk or bend her legs her pour muscles were so sore!

This was her last night. I went to the kitchen to get her some Tylenol and she fell asleep standing up on the ottoman! Poor little thing!

If the other video works, the kids and I have been having dance parties!

They LOVE to dance to the song "Call Me Maybe"

It is too cute!

Bear Lake!

 We went to Bear Lake for our last summer trip last weekend!

It was my first time to Bear Lake and Brandon's second and we LOVED it!

We think we will try to go every year we loved it so much!!

The kids while we were setting up!

 I cannot get enough of this little face!

 Macy has decided that soda is her favorite!!

This black cherry soda ended up more on her shirt than in her mouth!

We ended up throwing the shirt away! I figured after 4 days of camping it probably wouldn't come out in the wash!

We had a friend that was at Bear Lake just before we got there and she said the South side wasn't all that good, so we headed to the North side and we were so glad we did!

It was about 15-20minutes from the KOA and in St. Charles, Idaho and perfect!

The beach was about 2miles wide and it was shallow forever out into the water which was perfect for us!

Macy could have stayed at the beach all day!! She loved that she could be so independent!!

Cute bathing beauty!!

 She wanted to try on Lily's goggles!

 Brandon, Tyson and Lily heading far out to the waist deep to float and play!

 We bought this dinosaur floaty for Macy, but Lily loved it and Macy didn't want anything to do with it so it worked out great!

 Brandon got his bum stuck on a sandbar!!

 Macy and I hung out in the super shallow parts!

 Macy ate soooo much dirt, sand, sticks, rocks... anything she could she ate!

 It was a busy weekend, but we still had plenty of room with the beach being so big and shallow!

 Another view!

 Brandon and I took turns floating with the kids!

 Cute Lily with her floaties and tube...she wasn't going to drown!

 Tyson chillin'

 In the "Hot Tub" another family made!

The water was really quite warm!

The sand castle we made!

We spent about 4 hours the first day at the beach!

 We got back to the KOA, showered and took a family bike ride on this beauty!!

 Tyson was so embarrassed to be on this bike riding thru town!

He is only 6 and we already embarrass him! I love it!!

 Macy and Lily in the bike basket!! 

Ahh cute!!

 The KOA had a jumping pillow that the kids did each night!

Tyson wanted this picture to show him laying on the biggest pillow he has ever laid on!!

 They did "train" rides each night and the kids LOVED it!

 The second day we again went to the North Beach, but we went to the end which was a "private beach" that we could drive onto. It cost the same as the public beach and it was attached to the public beach, but we went there so we could rent a sea doo!

We got there at 10:30 and people were already there, but not many...yet!

 Tyson and Brandon were renting the sea doo while the girls and I played in the water!

 Brandon and I took turns taking the kids out on the sea doo. Lily liked it, but not for that long. Tyson LOVED it especially when Brandon let him drive it himself!

We had the sea doo for 2 hours and stayed at the beach for about 5 hours that day!

 Macy playing in the water while we were packing up!

 We tried to get souvenirs at this cute little shop by the North beach, but they were closing the first time we tried and they were closed the next time we tried! So we took pictures instead!!

One night we ate dinner at the local Mexican restaurant, we tried their "famous" raspberry shakes, and had an awesome time! We were all sad to go home!
