One of her grown-up teeth was growing in behind her baby teeth. (Like mother-like daughter. I had to have my first 4 bottom teeth pulled when I was 6 years old too because of my teeth growing in behind my baby teeth.)
Darrell took her to the dentist and sent me pictures. (It was the first time I wasn't able to be at a doctors appointment since being a "working mom." I had already had to prepare for a sub 2 times earlier in the week.)
She was really nervous about going and getting her 2 bottom teeth pulled out, but she decided it wasn't all that bad when it was all said and done.
Now she talks with a slight lisp--so cute!
One day I was able to go to Scouts with Tyler while he passed off some swimming requirements.
The girls are doing dance and tumbling from the fitness center.
Megan chose to do jazz/ballet. (She's in the middle with the red and blue leotard and black skirt.)
Emily chose to do tumbling.
Darrell had to go to the BYU/Utah game for work, so the kids and I pulled out a table and ate while we watched the game. (Tyler, Emily and Megan)

Tyler is doing fall soccer and is doing really well. He has had some awesome kicks.
The kids received free tickets to the state fair for reading during the summer. We had a lot of fun and wished we could have done more things.
Eating $5 hotdogs (!) and their free can of pop they also got for reading. (Tyler, Emily and Megan)
The kids loved going into an exhibit where they got to learn all about how we get our food. Here Emily and Tyler are planting "seeds."
They loved riding on these tractors.

The kids also loved playing in this "corn box." It's kind of like a sand box, but it was made up of kernels of corn.

We had the opportunity to attend a "circus" at the state fair. (Think "America's Got Talent" type acts.) The clowns were hilarious.
And the tightrope walkers were amazing.
My mom had brain surgery to remove a benign tumor that was growing behind her eye. Thankfully the operation went very well and she is healing amazingly. While she was at the hospital my dad was able to come watch Tyler's soccer game. It was a little chilly.
I love this little football player who dresses up and goes out and plays football in the front yard by himself and comes back in with grass stains every. single. time.
One night for FHE Darrell and Tyler worked on Tyler's pinewood derby car.
While the guys were sawing away the girls and I colored because they recently informed me: "You never do ANYTHING with us like color or play Barbies."
Since Darrell and I know nothing about pinewood derby cars we were grateful when Dad was able to lend his expertise.
Tyler's car for the pinewood derby.
Here it is getting ready for its first race.
And here's Tyler waiting down by the finish line.
Unfortunately Tyler's car came in last in all 4 races it was in. :( He was pretty bummed. Maybe next year...
We were super excited that Kimberly, Sage and Olivia had tickets to go to a session of General Conference and were able to spend Friday night with us. They were able to go to the pinewood derby with us and then to Tyler's soccer game on Saturday.
Megan, Olivia and Emily loved playing dress up.
