Things you cannot do in Floy

This is Carter after learning that Daddy wouldn't be coming home for a couple days.  We didn't bother to mention it to the kids since it's not a terribly unusual occurrence.  But Carter was sad he didn't give Dad a hug goodbye.  I guess we had better keep this kiddo better informed.

Driving from Moab to Springville, we passed Floy, Utah.

Carter:  "Yay for being outside!"
Jayden:  "Can we go home yet?"

Checking in on Grammy and Grumpy's house.
They are a little eager for Christmas.

Whoa.

Wahoo!

Jayden prefers to walk up the slip n' slide.

Jayden decided half of this hairstyle was enough.

Rough on his bike.

Rough on his shoes.
Geez boy.

Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells of SNowtre Dame!
(Bell tower at Snow College)

What a goof.

July in a nutshell

Carter finished his online preschool.
Good job buddy!

Now on to kindergarten.

We finally got rid of all these cherries!
It was a bit ridiculous.

The kids mocking Mommy while she picks cherries out of the grass.
We learned this year why George Washington chopped down the cherry tree: Because it was his job to pick cherries out of the lawn!      --Aunt Roger

Cherry-water anyone?

One finger should do it.

Mind blown.

Carter noticed many other houses in the neighborhood with flags on their lawns, so he put his own out there.

Happy 7-11

These kids are getting more particular about their dress.
Carter has been insisting for weeks to only wear a white dress shirt along with his missionary name tag to church on Sundays.

This little girlie found both the lipstick and the brownies.
