August and Labor Day Happenings

We road our bikes 23 miles from our home in Provo up to Bridal Viel Falls and back. Luke(7) and my Mom (56) road with us. Very impressive! and good memories

Here we are at Bridal Viel falls

Another happy baby picture

After Church one Sunday Royce fell asleep at the table during lunch! So funny!

Royce's new favorite thing to do is read stories, he brings stories to James, Luke and me, and says "read to me" if one of us is busy he just rotates through us over and over again till he find someone to read to him. So cute!

This is where I had my bridal pictures taken

(its accross the street from the Dinosuar Museum)

Lukes first day at his once a week charter. We are still homeschooling but once Week he goes to school all day for options day. He does all electives so the classes he is taking are piano, tumbling, lego robotic, art, cooking and one more but I cant remember what it is.

Luke's 7th birthday!

We had a little birthday party for Luke at the park. He was so pleased and he got a new mountain bike (with gears) He totally earned it after doing a 11 mile bike ride in California.

He is such a good big brother and a wonderful oldest son. He is very aware of his siblings and is willing and able to to help.

Funny quote of the year:

We were driving in the car and Luke was irritated at James and I and he say in a sassy tone

"You know I can't trust you guys with time"?

James and I looked at each other confused and I asked

"What do you mean"?

His response was

"Well sometimes I ask you what time it is? and you say 1:30 and its really 1:32! I just can't trust you"!

James and I looked at each other and tried really hard not to laugh.

Love you Luke.

July Happenings
