August

I'm tired of being so behind so I'm making one post of everything we did in August so I can be all caught up. 

At the beginning of August the girls and I went to Fresno with my mom, Melinda, Matthew & Maggie. 

My grandparents hadn't seen the babies yet and they aren't able to travel right now so my  mom and I decided we would take the babies to them! 

We left in the afternoon and drove to St. George. We had dinner there and did some shopping for a few hours.

Morley found herself some sweet shades! :)

We left St. George as it was getting dark and the babies went right to sleep. 

Wrigley woke up around 10 and decided it was time to play. We stopped at a gas station and let her get out of her car seat for a little bit. And she took a turn driving ;)

Some highlights from our trip:

*Watching the birds eat from the bird feeders in Grandpa & Grandma's backyard.

*Spending time with family.

Amy asked me do Aly's hair this day and it made me so excited for the twins to have hair!
I hope they have cute curly hair like Aly's! :)

*A highlight for Jacob, Aly & Ashtyn was the bumbo. 

If I had known how popular it was going to be, I would have brought both of them! 

*Another highlight for Aly was feeding the babies.

I don't know what the fascination is but all little kids seem to want to feed them :)

The day we left Amy texted me and said Aly and Jacob were pretending they were Wrigley and Morley and that Amy was me! :) 

Then a few days later Aly asked Amy if she could wrap her up like a burrito like "Megan does to her babies."

Then a few days ago Amy messaged me on Facebook and said, 

 "Aly and Jacob were playing with Aly's dolls this morning and guess what the dolls names were? I think they love those babies of yours!!"

I love how much those sweet kids love the twins! I just wish we lived closer to them. They would grow up being such good friends!  

We spent as much time as we could at Seven Peaks in August because our passes were expiring at the end of the month.

Our Pass of all Passes also got us into all the Orem Owlz home games. So we went to a few of those this month also. 

One night we went was the perfect game to go to. It looked like it for sure was going to rain but the dark clouds went the other way and it ended up being a perfect summer night! I think everyone else thought it was going to rain too because there was hardly anyone at the game. 

The babies were so good at the game, even though they stayed up way past bedtime. 

They LOVE to be outside and there was so much to look at that they were happy as could be.

Caitlin asked Jeff to do a little reptile show for Saxon's 5th birthday party!

All the kids loved it! I think their favorite part was feeding Gordon.

Since the lake house was sold in Chicago, Jeff's parents don't have much use for their boat right now so a friend of theirs who was driving out here brought the boat to us to use!

We've taken it out twice and have had so much fun! 

We took my family out on Utah Lake one Saturday.

Everyone got to take a turn behind the boat.

Matthew.

 Melinda.

Even my mom wakeboarded! :)

Maggie gave it a shot, but ran out of time because we had to go pick Marshall up at the marina.  

Marsh.

My dad tried also but didn't quite get up.

The girls were so good on the boat all day even though they didn't get good naps. By the time we got home, though, it was a different story. They were exhausted and not happy.

 We left the twins with my parents and took Melinda and a couple of her friends out the next Saturday and had a blast!

We joined my family one day on a little trip to Park City to do some school shopping. 
The only pictures I took were in the car right before we left!

These next two things aren't specifically August related, but we discovered Yogurtland this summer and have enjoyed going to get Frozen Yogurt occasionally. 

The girls love when we share with them! :)

We also have taken a lot of evening walks this summer which I am going to miss so much when it gets cold.

Lots of times we have walked over to Macey's to get ice cream cones. 

Wrigs & Morley love love love going on walks!

We started feeding the girls solids at the beginning of August.

Wrigley loved it from the very first bite. 

Morley would gag and cry and get so mad that I kept putting that weird stuff in her mouth.  

They both do really well with it now and get really excited when it's time to eat!
