end of September


We had a busy, full week this past week. Lots going on, and I actually took some pictures!
Monday Emily got braces, just on the top. She was nervous and a little scared.  But she did great and will be happy to have beautiful, straight teeth in about 10 years! HAHA.
Both Taylor and Emily are already into orthodontics and it's crazy expensive but so worth it.
Tuesday was a warm day and we decided to take a bike ride after school.  We ended up exploring down by a stream near our house and Emily and Isaac got attacked by hornets!! It was so scary and they were in tons of pain. I made Taylor bike home and get Grandma Shields to come pick us up, because they were sobbing and there was no way they could bike home. It was really a traumatic experience.
 Luckily grandma came and saved us, and they skipped soccer practice while laying on my bed covered in ice, bug spray, toothpaste etc...
Later that night their friends made this cute poster along with some ice cream to help them feel better. 
I am so glad that day is over!

Our SLC library has a pass called the "Community Education Pass"
I checked it out this month and got into all these fun places for free!
So this week we went to:
Red Butte Gardens
Discovery Museum at the Gateway
Natural History Museum
All for free, it was perfect timing because the beginning of the week was warm and gorgeous weather, great to see the gardens. And by the end of the week it was cold and rainy so we went to the museums. Plus the kids had No school on friday so I could bring Emily and a couple of friends. (Taylor was with his friends)
Here's some pictures of our fun week.

Lizzie is obsessed with these tap shoes, they were Emily's and they are 5 sizes too big for her, but she loves them!!!

Monica and her girls came with us to the Gateway museum.
All the kids were in heaven playing and having fun. Isaac and Becca were the cutest mailmen, busy delivering all the mail.


They also loved the Museum of Natural History, it's an amazing museum full of lots of fun to explore.



Saturday morning was Mary's baptism.
We got up early and drove to Lehi and spent the morning at her baptism. She and Emily are already 8, it seems like they were just little babies.
These girls are great friends and we love having cousins live nearby.


After the baptism we met at a park for donuts etc... The kids had fun playing with their cousins and eating donuts.
It was a fun morning, and we are so proud of Mary!
Emily will be getting baptized in November...so exciting!

The weeks just race by- before we know it Christmas will be here!
