The boys have been pretending to go to school for awhile now---they both put on their backpacks and go somewhere in the house and wait for their teacher (me) to come and teach them something. (hopefully this will last for many years to come:))
I love this picture with them sticking their tongues out---totally captures how Keston looks up to his big brother and copies EVERTTHING he does. We have so many first day of school pictures since there is preschool orientation, the actual first day of preschool for Mace, and then Keston's first day of joy school that a few of us moms are rotating in the neighborhood. They both love going to school --- but the best part is when it is time to pick them up---they get so excited to see each other again. Definitely one of those happy Motherhood Moments!
It is a good thing they are cute! Mace attempted to make his sandbox into a swimming pool---they had so much fun and were so proud of how dirty they could get:) Boys will be BOYS...
We enjoyed a quick trip to Burley the middle of August to enjoy the Fair and Rodeo, my high school class reunion, and the open house of the Twin Falls Temple. It was a busy and fun filled trip! Thank you for having us Grandma Susie and Papa Dave!
Keston helping his cousin Hewstyn get ready for the Stock Sale...
Mace just hanging out at Storybook Park...
Twin Falls Temple Open House...
A Big Night at the RODEO!...
John Deere Green Snowcones---just to top off the bull riding and cotton candy!...
The boys thought John was so amazing to make it all the way to the top! Mace said, "I'll do that when I am nine mom." So, I guess we will be back to conquer in 5 years:)
...ROOOAAAR...
Keston thought the Salt Lake Temple was cool, the flowers were beautiful, but he just couldn't get over ALL those SCARY LIONS!
I CAN WRITE ALL MY NAMES!
Mace was so excited to discover he has 3 'M's and 3 'E's---and he is 3!
YUMMY BREAD!
We have finally started making homemade bread...Mace loves to grind the wheat and SOAK the tops of the loaves in butter! What an awesome little helper. He is always asking me for a job and this has become a fun activity for both of us while brother naps. He is so proud of each batch he helps with and loves sharing with neighbors:)
Daddy's Little Buddy!
I don't know who was more excited to go to Disneyland---Mace or John? A first for both of them!
