We spent the afternoon up the canyon w/ our GREAT friends the Forsloffs. We are SO GLAD they are home from their Summer sales job. We had a family home evening lesson and played soccer and the kids got REALLY dirty :)
Notice the dirty boys from climbing the dirt hills and sliding down. I said to them "now turn around so I can see how dirty your bums are" and this is the shot I got. BOYS are TOO Silly.



What Sweet Sweet boys we have
Mason and Taylor are bestest friends.

Could Haley be any more precious?

Labor day we had a fun BBQ and day in the yard w/ the Irelands.
Nothing beats some good cousin time and Dads Chicken is UNREAL AMAZING :)

Cousin Mason and Taylor Layla and Alexander

2 Sundays ago James and I sat down and figured out how to put together this castle of Taylors (Gma got it at a yard sale) It was awesome and Taylor LOVES IT, as you can tell. He asks us all to play castle with him all day everyday now from morning until night. :) but..... we are happy to play and glad he loves it. We shoot bombs at the castle w/ the catepolt and the gaurds are always fun to play with. Although I was showing Taylor how to play with them and James said "Dont listen to ANY Of what she just said Taylor" (I think I sounded more like I was playing HOUSE , not warriors and castles :) )
Our most AWESOME Neighbors had a "Tailgate" party for the kickoff BYU game against Washington. Lots of our good friends/neighbors were there. Good Food (like cougar tail donuts that are FLIPPING long), good peeps.... LOTS OF FUN.

I had TWO UCMT friends have their wedding receptions the same night. They are great gals. Congrats to Christina and Kaylee
New Tradition: DIVINE SUNDAY......(Have a diving treat/dessert) that we make as a family.
First Up: this RIDICULOUS AMAZING DELICIOUS Banana, choc. chip, brown sugar, cinnamon goodness cake :) :)

These two kiddos Have SO MUCH fun together. Taylor is the best big brother, he can get Layla gut wrenching laughing...no one can do it like him
*Layla in her new dress (another one) from Gma. She made it in a day. She is soooooo talented. what a lucky girl to have such a cool Gma.

Happy Bright Eyed baby girl
Snuggly Sleepy girl while Dad plays Xbox. Best of both worlds :)

Taylor started PreSchool and really enjoys it. I have already noticed his abc's getting better. He got his first backpack and we made this great poster together ALL ABOUT HIM. Thursdays he has show and tell and we placed our 1st Scholastic Order and we are soooo excited to get the books. :) How fun. The one he can't wait for is "Dinosaurs love underpants" of course.

Neighbor kids came over to see Tay's castle, then they decided they wanted to have a battle in the front yard, so they all got weapons out of the weapon drawer (Yes Tay has one, top right drawer...full of good ol' boy weapons) and they battled it out :)
Gotta Love the Schefer kiddos.

I love that you have a weapons drawer! Too cute! I need to get me one of those! My kids have just resorted to using their bodies as weapons! haha! And that picture of them bending over and showing their bums is PRICELESS! What a cute post!
