August 2015

August 1 was Chelsea's bridal shower at the union Grill in Ogden. Faith didn't make it because of not feeling well, but it was very nice.

Luckily she started feeling better and we went to the new mission impossible movie that night.

On the 2nd, Christian decided to bake and frost a cake and sing happy birthday to "anyone" 😂

The next day he funneled his crazy into dressing up.

I saw this online and it reminded me of how Tony feels:

Figured I would add a "real life" pic, so here are the kids on August 8th playing on their electronic devices.

The 10th was Bud's first day of school-3rd grade for this guy.

Taking the arts down off the art crawl, here is the card Christian made Tony for Father's Day.

This character is from the movie Big Hero 6. Christian did such a great job on him!

Faith drew this Donald. Amazing!

Faith made the gorgeous sunset picture as a school assignment,

 and Christian wanted to duplicate the technique :)

Some watercolors of dogs: the top when his buddies and the bottom one, Faith's.

For our anniversary on August15th, I posted some wedding album photos on Facebook.

On the 19th but wanted to make sure I got a picture of this giant bubble.

Here are some funny memes that I have enjoyed lately.

August 21st we took the family to Texas roadhouse. Christian sure loves throwing peanut shells on the floor!

The 24th was Faith's first day of school-8th grade.

On the 28th the kids drug the cotton candy machine up from the basement.

The next day, Christian had a soccer game

and for some reason, the kids celebrated by eating popcorn chicken from Walmart

Because it was his birthday week soon, Christian got to be the happy camper in his school class. I thought his answers the questions were so cute!

That afternoon was Havenwood days – – a neighborhood party mostly sponsored by people who live on Havenwood Street. Christian was not happy about me suggesting that he ride in the bike parade,

but loved all the other activities there!

August 30th was Brendan's missionary farewell. Sarah was not super thrilled that the bishop asked the stake president for special consideration to have her speak that day as well, but she did a great job. We sure loved Brendands talk and especially all he expressed about being socially awkward and therefore reading his talk from the paper without looking up :)

Sarah had sent out a lot of his artwork in her from the living room and I can't believe how talented he is!

He's been called to the Marshall Islands mission, which was a bit surprising seeing as he put on his mission papers under medical problems "I'm a ginger and sunburn easily." 😂

Sarah had a brunch at her house afterward. I brought lots of crepes and toppings including powdered sugar, strawberries, Nutella, bananas & cream cheese filling.

When we got home, Christian finish decorating his birthday cake.

He'd made the fondant dinosaurs the day before. It turned out so cool!

We had a few minutes to pick the garden, then headed to Braegger's.

On the way, the weight of the dinosaurs caved in part of the bottom cake! We just pretended it was like the dinosaurs were escaping from Jurassic Park.

Tammy outdid herself on this balloon! She also had bracelets, gift bags (with trail mix, Jurassic World fruit snacks and candy in them), and little bags of milk duds which were labeled "fossilized dinosaur poop"!

He asked for money and that's what he received! He also got a Jurassic Park t-shirt and one which was too small for Tammy exchanged for the DVD of the movie.

It was an awesome birthday party!
