August Pictures

Here is a picture round-up of our August activities!

One Saturday we went swimming and had a picnic with my family. The girls all love swimming but had just recently been swimming in Todd's sister's heated pool so they thought this pool was a little too cold.

We visited one of Todd's mission companions down in Fairview and got to ride around on his horses.  Emma and Katelyn loved them.  Miley was too nervous to try and go on the horse but she was obsessed with their goats and just wanted to sit and watch them all night.

This is what the girls in the family like to do while Todd does yard work.

For some reason I just thought it was so great that they were sitting in age order during movie night.

 Miley wants so badly to be a big girl like her sisters so she likes to put her backpack on in the mornings so she can get ready for school at the same time as Emma and Katelyn.

One Saturday morning, Todd was out for a long training run and the girls wanted to wait for him to come home so they could cheer him on. It also should be noted that after this picture was taken Emma learned how to ride her bike with no training wheels although we still haven't taken a picture of it.

Since school is back in, the girls were excited to be able to go to the Children's Museum again since it is much, much less crowded when people are in school.  They also came up with this picture on their own.

We went to the county fair with Chad and Melissa's family.  We enjoyed the petting zoo, looking at all of the animals, and going on a few rides.

This first ride that the girls went on was my favorite to watch.  Emma is our cautious little girl and you can see in the first picture how she felt about the beginning of the ride.  She eventually warmed up to the idea and enjoyed it, it just took a few times around.

Katelyn and Hadley are good little friends and love to do things with each other!

We attended half of our ward's 2nd annual campout.  We decided not to sleep over this time but had a good time playing games with everyone in the evening before heading home.

Our team was a little low on primary kids so Katelyn and Miley got to participate in the donut eating contest.  They were pretty stoked about it.

 It was a fun month but we are enjoying the routine of school and the cooler weather that September has brought us.
