a few August tidbits....

30 weeks down... 10 more to go!

Rich started building us a much needed shed!

It is going to be huge when it is finished!

We stayed a night in Park City to go school shopping and a last minute get away. We had fun! The girls all had curly/bumpy hair so they put it up like mom does at night to keep it from getting tangled. They think that is so fun. We had to take a picture of all of us matching :)

All the little girls in the bed

And Cohen :)


I was originally going to make the girls wait until they were 8 to get their ears pierced but caved at 6 with Micailey, so ever since Mackenzie turned 6 we have told her that when ever she was ready she could get her ears pierced. She was scared and didn't want to have it done until now. It was a total spur of the moment thing while we were shopping in Park City. We were headed towards Claire's and I mentioned it to her and she decided to do it finally!

She was so brave the whole time! She didn't even flinch and didn't shed a tear.... until we left the store without the stuffed animal she thought she was going to get for being brave! She is my stuffed animal kid and kept telling us the whole time we waited that she wanted that for getting her ears pierced and we kept saying ..No, you get your ears pierced for your "prize"... but she still thought she was getting it. So, since she did so good, we decided for $4 we could get her the stuffed animal who is now known as Chippy :)

You can't see the earrings very good but they are little pink flowers, just like Micailey had hers pierced with. She sure looks cute in them and hasn't complained once yet about them!
