Adventures before school starts!

 Sunny & Elle love this youtube kids baker called Nerdy Nummies so we made one of her recipes one day...geode candy cupcakes! A lot of work, but the girls had so much fun! These girls LOVE to bake!
 We took the kids to the Ohio State Fair and had a fun time! The animals were so cool to see!
 We could not believe how BIG the cows were!
 This cow was made out of butter!
 The kids got to milk a cow!

 Sunnys favorite animal...a PIG!
 Everyone got to pick one fair treat...Elle chose a caramel apple!
 Sunny chose a funnel cake!
 Riley chose bacon on a stick and Emery chose a refillable cup of root beer!
 These kids are fearless...they rode on this ride that made me sick just looking at it!
 You have to ride a twirly ride at the State Fair!
 Cute Church kids!
 The girls have treated Winnie as if she were a doll. They LOVE to dress her up!!!




 The kids have LOVED getting back into playing with their friends now that we are back in Ohio!
 Riley's new obsession: Pokemon hunting! I convinced him to bring Sunny with him on his adventure. He loves riding from our house, to the store to get a treat, to the library where there is a poke stop. There is a trail the whole way and they love feeling independent.
 Elle and her friend Alyssa went to Art camp for a week and brought back SO many cute pieces of ocean art!

Riley went to Scout Sailing Camp for 3 days and earned his Sailing merit badge!


 We have loved going to the children's museum, Cosi! They have had some awesome exhibits!


 We have also loved going to the Botanical Gardens in Columbus! The new exhibit is all about origami which is a lot harder than it looks! I tried folding a crane forever with no luck!

 I have worked So hard with Emery to get ready for Kindergarten this summer. He finally wrote his first and last name by himself!!!
 We had a boys day before school started! We went shopping to get an outfit, and out to lunch! It was fun just spending time with my guys!

 Then We had a girls day! Of course we had pedicures, then went out to lunch! These girls are so cute! It was fun talking to them about what they are excited about for school!

Our Back to School Family Night was a big hit! Since the Rio Summer Olympics are on, I decided to make our school theme revolve around Go for the GOLD! 

 We had 5 themes we are going to focus on this year. We had everyone commit that they will do their best and go for the gold this school year! Regan gave each of the kids a Fathers Blessing to help them this school year!

 I have been on an organizing kick lately! Sorting, organizing and labeling toys has been my mission!
 This little girl goes on all of our date nights! She is such a wonderful little baby!
 We went to Back to School night and found Sunny's locker! It only took 20 times to open it, but she eventually did it!!!

The Back to school carnival was fun for the kids to see their friends again!
We went to Sky Zone with our friends, the Woodruffs! We were friends with them in Utah before any of us even had kids! Now we have 9 kids between the 2 families!

It was such a fun summer, but by the end, we were all ready for school to get back in!
