Hanging on to the Last Bits of Summer

We are hanging on to the last bits of summer around here. 

Makayla made cupcakes. These ones are to celebrate Team USA in the Olympics. 

 See, these two do love each other. 

Makayla is the cutest. She wrote a letter to J.K. Rowling (the author of the Harry Potter series). She is hoping she will write her back. 

Caden's team finished up the season. They only lost 1 game. Tyler even became one of the assistant coaches. We loved this season and can't wait for winter so he can play Jr. Jazz again. 

Tyler and I went on a date night and came home to find our kids all snuggled in our bed. 

As soon as basketball season was over, Caden started baseball. He's on a team called the Bingham Bombers. Caden is doing so well this year and has gotten a lot of hits and runs for his team. 

And this girl loves Caden's baseball team because she can make friends with anyone. There are a few girls at the games and they always bring toys to play with. 

Tyler and I went on a date for my birthday. We went to my favorite, P.F. Changs, then we were going to go shopping, but ended up going to the Puppy Store and got Bella! It was the funnest birthday date. 

Brynnli was looking extra cute one morning before school, so I snapped this cute picture of her. 

Sometimes I wonder what I married. 

For my actual birthday we went to lunch at Tepenyaki. Yum!

My co workers celebrated my birthday at work. They decorated my desk and Shauna made me a chocolate peanut butter bars. 

Here's a good lesson for you, don't look at your phone while you drive. A girl in our neighborhood was looking at her phone and ran into our next door neighbor's tree. She totaled her car. 

Poor Makayla. She gets bloody noses a lot in the summer because it is so dry. She woke up one morning with blood all over her face. 

Who needs to go out to restaurants when you have a Tyler around who can make you amazing food?
