September is here!

Rilee and I were enjoying the nice shade

while we watched these cuties playing in the water at our park...

This is Alexa's new friend Kendall!

They can play FOREVER at the park,

especially in and out of this water here...

tossing their sandals in and trying to catch them

as they get pulled by the current...

Karli has fun with them too,

but doesn't like to get her clothes wet if she can help it...

As the girls grab their shoes,

Rilee is grabbing her toes

Swimming!

Alexa has mastered the red slide at our pool

ALL BY HERSELF

this summer!

There's Ty and Karli,

Karli would love to go down by herself...

but is happy to go down with her mom or dad for now

Camping!

For Labor Day,

we went up to Logan to camp with Kyle and Kaitlyn!

It was a blast going down memory lane while in Logan.

Wow, that place is growing and changing!

We have such sweet memories up there.

We found a nice spot up Green Canyon.

Kaitlyn helped the girls find this

BUTTERFLY

on a little hike

to the cave

and then to the splash pad to wash off

a little of the grime we acquired while camping!

Alexa's First day of Kindergarten, Soccer, and Daddy Daughter Date

All the anticipation and excitement over the WHOLE SUMMER

has now come to an end...

Alexa <finally> started Kindergarten! :)

She has been SO EXCITED

...and probably would have skipped out on all the fun things we

did throughout the summer if she could have started school early...

She loves every minute of it, of course.

She loves her teacher Mrs. Williams so much!

I couldn't be sad that my oldest was starting school,

she was TOO happy about it!

I am excited for her!

She is a doll.

This morning she told me that she wished there was only

ONE DAY in the weekend, when Daddy doesn't have to go to work,

because then she could be at school more :)

(I hope that she keeps up this enthusiasm and love for school, it is so nice!)

Here are a couple of pictures of Alexa and Tyler's first game

Their team is the GREEN LIZARDS!

There are 6 girls and 2 boys :)

and they all have a blast!

Alexa and Karli had so much fun with Tyler at our wards

Daddy Daughter Date!
It is such a special thing to them.

Tyler is so lucky to have three daughters that think he is

KING OF THE WORLD!

The dad's had to learn ballet there...
