August 2019

This little girl is trouble. I have to know where she is at all times. She got fingernail polish all over the floor and rug in the bathroom last week (picture below). She seems to know everything she shouldn't be in and that is what she wants to play with.

We went to the Great Salt Lake with Thayne's aunt and uncle. It was super windy but we still had fun. The little girls did NOT like the taste of the water.



Our friends were moving and had a dunk tank. Lexi and Kenzie got in on the dunking action (both doing the dunking and getting dunked.)
School starts again! Tyson 6th grade
Lexi 4th grade
Jojo, Kenzie and I headed to Thanksgiving point one day to play with friends while the other kids were at school. Kenzie started school a day later than the other kids so she was able to join us.
She wasn't so sure about the horse ride at first...
But loved it after a minute. She told people all day long, "I rode horse today."
Kenzie 1st grade
The big event of August was Grandma and Grandpa Gardner's 50th reunion. We were able to all get together and play. It was great. Tyson played chess most of the time with anyone he could recruit to play against him. He's the only boy his age so he had to play with the older boys and adults mostly. The girls had tons of fun with all the girls their age. 














We did the glow stick dance for our talent


Because we live in Utah, we got to see cousins even after the reunion was over. We took some of them to Leatherby's one night.



Lexi and Kenzie went to Aunt Joy's house one night so the rest of us tried out the new Shake Shack that just opened. They had a bunch of games to play while we waited for our food. We all enjoyed the evening.

Don't know what I'm doing...

Gene and Tammy are leaving to the Philipines on their mission. One last swim party for the Van Tassell Family. Aunt Chris made them a money cake. We will all miss Gene and Tammy.
We hiked Donut Falls with Ahna's family one morning.










And we had to get donuts after, right?
Poor Kenzie struggles with all day school and still needs an occasional nap. 


We hiked Timpanogos Cave with grandpa and the Gibbons Family.











Jojo fell aleep on Dad's shoulders.
More Gardner reunions


Tyson was drawing the speaker at church one Sunday.
