Oh August...I love Summer. The only thing I don't like about August is that it leads to September, which leads to it getting colder and colder. Oh well, life goes on. This summer was really fun because I wasn't pregnant or didn't just barely have a baby. We've gone on lots of family bike rides, playing outside, walks to the park, a family reunion in Park City, and playing in sprinklers. Channing finally earned enough money to qualify him to get a power wheels four-wheeler. He loves that thing. I'm pretty sure he's driven it everyday since we got it for him. I'm super proud of him too because he actually worked hard to earn that four-wheeler. He would ask to do a chore, which in reality means more work for me, and then he'd either sweep, mop, clean windows, vacuum the car, or whatever I needed done that day. We'd go to Walmart to grocery shop and he'd see a cool toy and ask if he could have it. And I would tell him that he could buy the toy but the money would come out of the four-wheeler jar. Then he would slowly put the toy back on the shelf.... That's some self control for a 3 year old!

| In heaven! |

| After the first few rides Channing found this baby squirrel in our front yard. |
 |
| We kept it warm until someone from the Boise Animal Rescue came to pick it up. Apparently people actually bottle feed these babies until they are old enough to be on their own. It was so cute!! |

| Mckenzie's new trick is that she is tall enough to reach our very low light switches and likes to turn everything on and off. |
