Lemonade Stand

 Ty asked Dad, “How much does Alex Barcello make?”

Dad said, “He doesn’t really make money because college students typically don’t make much money.”

Ty replied, “Unless they do a lemonade stand!”

Fall Randoms

One of Mom's goals all summer was to get these lights up. Finally, it happened. There was a lot of trial and error. It was so windy, so weak spots became apparent quickly, but finally, we got them up!


The kids love playing with the Nelsons. Here, Kate and Pearl ride around together.

We went over to the Southams to see their new kittens and we even got to hold their pet snake.

Logan fell asleep like this one night. We joked that he takes his mask wearing VERY seriously.

Ty has found two new friends here and the three get along so well. They are pretty mischievous together, but so darn cute! Here they are as they sneak around together after church.

This was the summer of Walker Edison furniture. Mom bought and sold 12 patio sets along with miscellaneous other furniture. This was one of the patio sets Mom is putting together.

Here, we are at Kate's soccer game. Dad did not want to get his legs sunburnt, so he used chair bags and put them over his legs.

Dad planning out who is going to which BYU game this fall.

Kate and Pearl building rabbit cages.


The Nelsons all came over and we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas.


Mom signed up to bring some bread and honey butter to a stake social. Little did Mom know, this would actually be in a booth and we needed to give out samples. Ty was excited to man this and did a great job!




Ty has been learning how to mow the lawn, here he is mowing the park strip.

Cornbellys and a family party

 For the first time ever, we went to Cornbelly's and met the Birdsalls there. It was SO fun to see them, it had been way too long!



Ty lifting a hay bell

Logan trying to life a VERY heavy haybell

Logan and Mikey playing on the slides

Kate and Haylee had a good time together

We went through the corn maze, the kids were very excited for that part




Soccer-pool

This was a game where there were 2 strings and you had to carefully pull a ball from the bottom up to the red hole at the top without it falling into any of the holes. It was a pretty fun game!

We had a great time at Cornbelly's--going through the hay maze, playing in the gigantic blow up dragon and mostly just being with friends.

After, we headed up to West Jordan to celebrate Grandpa's 75th birthday. It was so great to see family and get to visit. Scott and Chad had a good time playing together.


When it was finally time to go home, Logan was exhausted. He asked for a pillow (he got his coat) and here he is crashed.

It was a very fun day!
