Labor Day Weekend

Dave's parents are so great about making the 11 hour drive up to see us all the way from Las Vegas. It was so nice to have a long holiday weekend and be able to spend time with them. Our kids love it so much when they come visit and they are so great with our kids.

Dave couldn't wait to get his dad up here to do a few things to his new truck.


Here are the boys workin' hard in the garage, grease monkeys getting their hands dirty!


This is Dal's pure passion in life....tools and grease!


While the boys were workin'...the girls were inside getting miss Macie ready for school! Grandma and Felicia got to walk her to Kindergarten and it was so nice and fun for Felicia to get her all ready for school!


She wanted to wear "Felicia lipstick!"


And of course she wanted the poof we call "Felicia hair!"


Grandma insisted on spoiling the kids, and she is a BIG fan of Build-a-Bear! Macie was so super excited to build her bear!


Dalan rubbing the heart on his cheek for good luck!


Grandma Kay loves to bring her grandkids to build-a-bear...and we love her for it! Macie picked out her own outfit, and Dal of course turned his bear into a firefighter!


The reward for good behavior at the mall...the alligator (aka the escalator!)


We headed over to the ballon festival downtown Saturday night and it was a lot of fun for the kids to see hot air balloons in real life!


There were 10 hot air balloons all lined up and the entire community said a chant that went a little something like 3....2.....1.....BURN! This is what Dalan was like the entire night...a great big huge smile. He thought it was the coolest!


Felicia and Dal!


Khloe thought it was pretty great too...


We all did!


It was a really fun night and the kids haven't stopped talking about it!


Grandma, Poppy, and Weesha left early on Labor Day so we decided to have a family day and take the kids fishing at a local park. It was such a beautiful day and we are so sad to see these days come to an end....

Dave getting ready to get his fish on!


Macie & Dal checking out the pond!


Macie and Khloe playing in the grass - not a care in the world!


I love Khloe's little pony tail and her hair is growing in so great!


The kids got a little bored of fishing so we headed over to the playground! Khloe loves the swings at the park. She gives the biggest smile!!


This year, Dalan learned to "pump" all by himself. This is great news for mom!!! Way to go buddy.


Macie is working on mastering the monkey bars!



So long Summer. Can't wait for next year!

What fun! I loved reading about it but was sad I couldn't see all of you in person. See you on the 24th though, and hopefully someday I can make another trek to IDAHO HO HO...that makes me think perhaps right after Christmas. Ho Ho Hope so.

I love when In laws come! Looks like you had a great time. We are excited to see your fam in just a few weeks. Is that Dave's new truck or his dads? It kind of surprises me for either to own it.
