Last days of Summer!

So sad summer is over. We loved going on long family walks this summer. We explored all of Rexburg on foot and strollers. This can give you an idea of how small Rexburg is. But that is partly why we like it here so much. It is a small city with lot's of life because of BYU-I. One funny thing that happened was that all summer I thought the Elementary School started on the 7th of September! Boy was I wrong! I learned a couple of days before school started that it was starting so we hurried and got ready for school. I feel like the girls were ready to start but I was not ready. Mateo will be sarting preschool at BYU-I on Sep 22. what a big boy!

Yellowstone

We are lucky to live just an hour away from Yellowstone National Park. What an amazing place. I have been once before but taking our kids was special. Old faithful was, as usual, the highlight of the trip but the buffalo were almost as exciting. (at least the first fifty of them)! It was a very pleasant day. On the way back we stopped at the town right outside of the south entrance to the Park to eat dinner. We did not want to spend a lot of money so we (actually ZEB) went into about 5 restaurant to ask for prices... to make a long story short we ended up going to the grocery store. It's cheaper of course! Well... we ended up spending more at the grocery store than we would have at the restaurants. We learned our lesson. Or shall I say Zeb learned it. HA HA Also, I feel like I must mention that Zeb is wearing Titus' pajama bottoms on his head because his head was fried from walking around without his hat. Poor Zeb. He was a great sport ... well he always is!

Zoo

We went to the Zoo. It was a great experience. The Zoo around here is very small which is ideal for small children. We had lot's of fun with dad this summer. It is nice to have Zeb home for a while. I think these pictures of the kids on this tiger are a great representation of our outings with all the kids. In the beginning we are "somewhat" in control but pretty soon.... Titus takes control!!!

Laura's first race! Provo's Freedom Run 5K

We are so proud of Laura! She did her firs 5K on July 4th. She ran it with her cousins Nikki, Alex and Sophia. Her uncle Jose ran the 10K and did it in the time he had hoped for ( I forgot what that was). Her uncle David and aunt Emily were doing the 10k as well but accidentally slept in through the whole race!! Funny. She had such a great time. I'm sure this will not be her last race! YOU GO GIRL!
