Utah State Fair

The decision to attend the Utah State Fair was very last minute. I saw in a brochure for the fair that one of the main events was a circus act and one of the performers was someone we saw from the TV show America's Got Talent. His name is Bello Nock and he was so fun to watch on the show that I was excited to see that he was here in Utah. I then saw on Facebook that tickets were discounted on opening day. I told Scott and asked if we should go and he said let's do it. We had fun walking around and the kids wanted to touch everything at all the booths. We saw some animals, but the best part was the "working farm" they had for the kids. They went through and did farm chores and then got a treat at the end for working so hard. It was so cute the way it was set up and the kids had fun. We got a funnel cake and then it was time to go pick a seat for the circus show. It didn't start until 8pm, so the kids were a little tired, but they did good during the show. Bello Nock did his biggest act at the end and I'm glad we stayed the whole time. It was a fun family date night.

August Activities

Scott and I had a fun anniversary. We ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, which was really yummy. Then we went to Boondocks and went mini-golfing and played some arcade games. We were almost going to go home after dinner, but I decided that we needed to have an actual date that included some sort of activity. We ended up having a lot of fun and glad that we spent more time together away from the kids.

Saw this on our drive.

Instead of playing at the splash pad, he wanted to play in the puddle.

Kylie was able to attend a BYU football game with Grandma Becky. She had a lot of fun.

She was able to see her cousins there.

Kylie started her second year of preschool! She loves her new teacher Ms. Kaarina.

They kids loved coloring all over this box.

They absolutely love the swing-set.

We played in the rain and saw a pretty rainbow.

Playing with shaving cream.

This was one of their favorite things to do during the summer.

I made two apple pies with apples from our apple tree. It was quite delicious!

Finally got a picture during one of our girls nights! It's nice having these monthly. These girls are so great.

We celebrated national chocolate chip cookie day!

Our beautiful sunflowers!
