August 8th-14th!

(12th) I cleaned out the left side of our garage so that we could park a car there. After working in the garage for and hour or so, Peyton and Bentley came out with me. Soon after that, we finally had the room to pull in the car. There were quite a few earwigs that started scurrying away from where the tires were sitting so I started stepping on them and saw something right next to the garage move towards the yard. I yelled "snake" and Ben came running. He hit it a couple times with the shovel and it struck a couple times, but Ben get it. As we pulled it out to further examine our intruder, we realize it's a rattlesnake! I was freaked because Peyton and I had both been walking right around where he was for 10 minutes or so. I still struggle to walk out past there without looking very closely to make sure there isn't another one.


(9th) My friend Katie, from Cosmotology school, invited me to lunch at the CSI park with her, her daughter, Paige, and another one of the girls from our cosmo class, Lana, and her little girl Kinley. We had such a good time letting our kids play and catching up with what the others were up to.
Paige and Kinley swinging!

Peyton and Bentley taking their turns on the swings.


Kinley and Peyton taking turns on the slide.


To make up for there only being 2 kids swings, and the fact that Peyton and Paige are both so skinny, we put the two together to let them both swing:)



(10th) Peyton decided she wanted to wear tutu's this day. She has a sweater on, then a leatard tutu, then another tutu on under that. She thought she was so funny.


(12th) Bentley still isn't crawling, but he is rolling all over the place. He doesn't let not being that mobile get in the way of him getting to where he wants to go.




Ben and Kenny both volunteered to work at the soup kitchen this night so Kristie and I decided we'd go in and let the kids play at the park just down the street. It was so funny to watch Bentley and Isabelle have the same reactions to swinging. Holding their breathes to grinning because they actually do like it. Baby's are so fun!


Here are the big girls playing on the playground! It's so hard to get them to sit still, but this one turned out so good. They had so much fun....until they got hungry. At that point, we moved the playing to Arctic Circle where they ate, then played on the play place there. The two guys came and met us when they were done at the soup kitchen.


(13th) Ben mowes our lawn every week.....and Peyton HATES the noise. But she loves the 4-wheeler so I finally convinced her to go ride with him. She had no problem at all being on it if she could use daddy's ipod to listen too! She's so funny!


That afternoon we were invited to Kierstley's birthday party. It was a pool party and there we so many fun kids there for everyone to play with.


Kierstley had such a good birthday and we had so much fun celebrating with her.
