The Last of our Bucket List

We have had such a fun summer. We have been able to do almost everything on our summer bucket list. This year has been the hottest summer on record, so we have spent a lot of time indoors trying to stay cool. Here's a few random pictures of some of the fun things we have done to end our summer: 

What, doesn't everyone take their stuffed pet bunny for a walk around the block? 


*Anybody want a toddler? Brynn took one bite of every strawberry, then put them back in the container. 

I have never seen kids love butter noodles so much. Seriously they ask for them every night for dinner, and they have at least two helpings every time. 




Makayla and Caden like to go for walks around the block in the morning. This particular day they were taking an extra long time and I started to get worried. I jumped in the car and drove around the block until I saw Makayla pushing Caden in the stroller. I love how cute these two are together.
 And I love Makayla's creativity. She was playing in the dress up tote and came up with this winning outfit.
 We got to go to Kids Club for one last time. It is kind of sad to think that next month it will just be me and Brynn there.
 The kids love to go to Panda Express after Kids Club, and man, can these kids eat! Brynn and Caden love the noodles and Makayla had 5 veggie spring rolls.
 We decided to get Brynnli's hair cut. It has been almost three years and if her hair is not in piggie tails, she looks like she is homeless.

 We took her to Cookie Cutters, and Brynn got to pick her seat and what show to watch.
 Because we are trying to grow her hair longer, she didn't get much cut off. Maybe half an inch, but it does look more even now.

 Tyler and I have celebrated my birthday all month long (as we should!) We have been on three dates this month. We went to see Beauty and the Beast at the Sandy Amphitheater and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at Hale Center Theatre. "Joseph" was amazing, and by far my favorite play I have ever seen there.
 For my birthday date we dropped the kids off at Terry and Craig's for the whole day. We went to lunch at Cheesecake Factory and spent at least two hours just talking, then I got a new watch from Brighton Jewelry. We had to run one more random errand before we ended our night at The Melting Pot where we got cheese fondue and the most delicious chocolate fondue.


 Seriously, I loved my birthday this year. One of my favorites to date!

We went to back-to-school night for Makayla and Caden. They got to meet their teachers and see where they sit in their classroom.

 For our last fun day I took the kids to Wheeler Farm to feed the ducks. It was kind of a quick trip because it started to rain, but we had fun while we were there.




 Caden had to have his Kindergarten assessment, so after we went to Menchies for frozen yogurt.

 Caden started a new soccer season this month. He is playing with Copper Mountain Soccer with my cousin Amanda's little boy and Amanda's husband is coaching.

To say Caden is a little bit excited is an understatement... can't you tell from this picture? Gosh I love this kid!

 So far Caden is loving soccer and is doing great!

 Brynn is starting to get a mind of her own and thinks she can pick her own outfit. She insisted on wearing her rain boots to the store on one of the hottest days of the year with no rain in sight. I have learned to pick my battles with this one.
 She can drive you crazy one minute, and then melt your heart the next. How is she going to be three next month?
Can time please slow down?
