So on Quincy's birthday August 20th we left in the afternoon and headed to West Yellowstone with the best company ever, the Bruderers. Hailey and Marc were able to come to and we got to go see Guys and Dolls at the Playmill. Saddie and McKin with the birthday girl.

Happy Birthday McKinley
So only one short month ago (I'm still a little behind with the blogging) my oldest turned 5 years old. The day started with her cheer performance in Aberdeen and then back to Blackfoot for a zoo birthday party with 12 of her closest friends. Then to Idaho Falls for a movie and dinner, it was one jam packed and fun day. McKinley brings so much joy to our family, she is a great help to me with her younger sisters and I love jamming out to Hannah Montana with her in the car. She is going to Kindergarten this week and I will really miss spending that time with her but I can't wait for all the experiences that life has in store for her. We love you Kin!

Summer's almost over
Here are a few of the things we did this summer.....
Whitney came to visit which we always love,
McKin took swimming lessons and passed!
I got to go the American Idol Concert with Joni and Misti, which was great. A little more of Kris and a little less of Adam and it would have been even better!
Whitney came to visit which we always love,
We went to the American Falls Stake Pioneer Day Parade with my mom,

We are in a recession....
So throughout the summer our sweet kids have been thinking of ways to help out the family cause, and in partnership with the neighbor kids they have opened several new business ventures. The first was a nail painting stand, many of our friends and neighbors stopped but this idea quickly died because apparently not a lot of people are willing to pay money to have 5-8 year old kids paint their nails (I even had to suck it up to contribute to that one).
Halle was perhaps the only real willing participant, she got about five coats of polish that day.

Mesa Falls
So one bright sunny afternoon in July we decided to go with the Bruderers to scout out our half-marathon location and have a little picnic and enjoy Mesa Falls while we were there. The day started out great, except on the way to lower falls we start to realize how many LARGE HILLS there were. Misti and I were madly texting each other in disbelief, what had we gotten ourselves into? We decided we'd pay closer attention on the way back, maybe it wasn't so bad.

Soccer
Another one of our many summer activities was soccer. McKinley really loved her Monday night soccer games and scored quite a few goals, some games more than others depending on the mood. Her favorite part was taking up her mom and dad on their goal-scoring bribes at Rupes but just for the record....we do feed our kids even if they don't score goals. We were so proud of our little soccer player!
Halle and Quincy LOVED every minute of watching their big sister play soccer,
Well I guess not every minute.......
