How could you not love a face like that? :)
Here is one picture to show that Joseph does have a cute smile every once in awhile.

End of Summer Fun
Like every year, summer ended much to soon. We had to get in as much fun as we could before the weather started getting cooler and school started. Here are a few things we were able to squeeze in:
A trip with the Emery Family up to Heber Valley Campground. We played, hiked, and even kayaked. It was a fun, relaxing end of summer get-away. Here Carlie is with her cousin. They love getting together.
All the kids playing with water balloons.
The "big" boys helping make a fire.
Of course, summer is not complete with out lots of trips to the swimming pool. We had season passes this summer to Cherry Hill. A few friends and family were able to make the trip up to spend a day with us at the water park. Here Carlie is with Brynlee.
Davis going down one of the Double Dragon slides. By the end of the summer, Davis and Carlie could go down the slides by themselves. They have no fear!
The annual Bear Lake trip is a favorite that the kids look forward to every year. Unfortunately this year was quite cool, so the time spent at the lake was limited. The kids just have fun getting together to play anyway.
Making S'mores
The kids modeling the t-shirts they made to remember their Bear Lake trip. Notice Joseph peeking through the back. I think this was the only picture I have of him from the trip.
Playing at the park.
We rented Jet Ski's one morning. It was quite cool and the kids only liked being on them for a few minutes.
Playing in the sand!

1st Day of School!
Here is the big kindergartner on her first day of school. This is a day Carlie has looked forward to for a long time and I have dreaded for a long time. It was hard letting my little girl get on the bus that first day and see her ride off to school. It's a good thing she LOVES school and has a great teacher to make it easier to see her go everyday. She is learning lots and her reading improves each day. She is now helping me read the Magic Treehouse books.
Davis has also started preschool one day each week and loves going to all of his new friends' houses. We have set up the same neighborhood preschool we did with Carlie. So now Davis has 4 little boys he can play with while Carlie is gone to school. He wouldn't let me take his picture on his first day of school so this one with Carlie will have to do.
Carlie with her cute friends she rides the bus with each morning.

Here is Carlie in front of her classroom. Her teacher set up a treasure hunt for her class a few days before school started to get the children familiar with their new school and new classroom. The treasure hunt ended with each child making a school bus with graham crackers, Oreos and Chex cereal. It made Carlie excited for the first day of school.
