August 2013

Hyrum and Lydia had a cooking contest to see who's meal I'd like better.  One of Lydia's favorite things is to cook.

Grandpa's the best haircutter EVER!  Zerin says "Baba cut my hair."

He is one big eater!

Fun with Gma Shauna's glasses

Lydia took ballet once a week all through the summer.  She didn't love it.  Hip hop is much more her thing :)

Recital night with Grace




With August comes the start of school.  Hyrum decided that after three years of homeschooling that he was ready to go back to public school.  It's strange and sad to have them both gone all day but they're enjoying it.  I wish school hours could be about 1/2 of what they are.  I don't think it's right for children to be out of the home from 7:40-3:00 for Lydia and 7:40-3:45 for Hyrum.  Then after school there's homework and sports practice.  The time we have with our children is so short and goes by way too fast! 

This was Jon's birthday "cake."  It's a coconut pie of sorts.


Happy 36th Birthday, Daddeo!  You are the BEST!  Truly, Jon is amazing.  I have so much to learn from him and I'm grateful for the example he sets for me.  Our children are blessed to have such a good man for a father.

Lydia went to a bridal shower with me and one of the games was making a wedding dress out of TP.  When Gma Shauna came the next day Lydia couldn't wait to dress her up!  What a good sport Grandma is!

My Greastest Blessings!
