When we came up to go to bed Olivia had snuck into our room and fell asleep in our bed.

Matt went with Kaleb for a couple of the days to his weeklong camp at Camp Steiner. They did some fun hikes even though it rained off and on the whole time they were there.
August 8, 2017
They had an early morning sunrise hike that Matt and Kaleb went on and they loved the views. Matt was even able to call me from the top of the mountain since they had cell service.

This was the group that went on the hike. Kaleb was the only one from our ward that went.
Matt said the fog in the morning was really pretty over the lake.
Olivia is still our crafty girl. She loves painting and she wanted me to paint with her. I attempted to paint some flowers on a canvas with watercolors.

After a quick summer rain storm I walked outside to see this double rainbow.

Olivia really wanted to catch a fish, which is hard to do without a hook on your line. :) But she still likes trying and is pretty good at casting. The boys enjoyed playing in the river.

Kaleb makes pretty elaborate blanket forts. This one had multiple "rooms" and they slept for a couple nights in the fort.

Olivia was showing me her "room" which she even decorated with picture frames and plants.
Olivia had really been wanting to go to a salon to get her hair done since I always have cut it myself. We went to a lady my aunt goes to and she trimmed her hair and gave her an updo. Olivia had requested pink hair and the lady was nice enough get get pink extensions ahead of time to put in her hair.

That evening was our neighborhood party where the fire truck comes and we have a big slip 'n slide on the hill. The kids spend hours sliding down the hill. Olivia loves her friend Zara.

Kaleb started 8th grade! I still can't believe it and yet as I type this he's almost finished with his 8th grade year. He's in 9th grade honors math, honors english and has enjoyed taking wood working classes and a cooking class. He always gets straight A's and works hard.

Ashton started 4th grade and has Ms. Dewyea again as a teacher. He is a hard worker and likes to help the teacher out. They have a pet chinchilla which we took home one weekend. He also always gets straight A's and is a smart kid!
We celebrated the first day of school with ice cream and dole whips from Macey's.

Olivia gets lots of use from her old Halloween costumes since she likes dressing up all the time.

I showed Olivia how to do filters on my phone through instagram and it became her new favorite thing to do.
August 23, 2017
There are random pictures like this one on my phone occasionally and I love seeing what she comes up with.

Olivia wanted to take a "nap" but it didn't last long before she changed her mind.

Ashton is really good at soccer and loves the kids he plays with. They take it pretty serious and really try hard to win.
