Moustache Madness

Brandon is the king of weird hair. The odder more out of date the better in his book. He has a new favorite movie "Hot Rod" kind of funny in a "Dumb and Dumber" type way. The stunt man in this movie has a fake moustache and says "all great men have moustaches" When I heard this I knew what was to come. I complained everyday about it and how is made him look like a child predator but he insisted on keeping it. Then one day I come home and start talking to him and he just says "I hate you" I look up kind of shocked and finally notice that he shaved of the horrible thing (turns out he did it two days ago and I didn't even notice) Now if he grows another I have no room to complain.

Farming

Addison came and got Luke at 6:30 AM to ride in the tractor while he cut hay. I thought Luke would just fall back asleep but he stayed awake all morning just loving it and talking with his uncle. Later that night Addison came and asked Mia if she would drive while they loaded the trailer. I thought he was crazy and reminded him that Mia is only 8 and not the best choice. He said at eight she is already behind and needs to catch up. Turns out farm driving skills should be learned around 5 or 6 yikes!

Guess she did a good job! She earned 10 dollars and wants to do it again sometime. Hopefully she will get her driving ability from Brandon and not me.

First Day

Thought I was ready to send them back. Turns out I really miss having them around. Each day was an adventure this summer and now we have to settle into a routine, not really my style.

Mia was ready to go back she came home and said "I forgot how much I love the smell of school."
Jada had a good first day she wishes 1st grade was three instead of six hours or that the days would get longer so she had more play time after school.

Last Days of Summer

We jammed plenty of fun into the last days of summer break. First we spent the day at Deer Creek with perfect water until five when a giant rain storm blew through. Luke had just as much fun playing in the puddles as in the lake.


Next we spent some quality white trash time at the Monster Truck races. Hate to admit it but I'm starting to get a kick out of this type of thing (plan an intervention if I start growing a mullet.)
Last we spent the weekend playing hard in Bear Lake. We didn't get glass water but the kids spent plenty of time on the tube. They deserved it after patiently watching us wake board all summer. We went to the cave and had a crazy tour guide who thought turning out the lights and having us hike out in pitch black would be a good idea. I thought she was joking and didn't grab my kids turns out she wasn't. Jada was rightly scared and started crying I couldn't find her until a guy behind me turned on his key chain light. Don't know if I'm going to get her in another cave anytime soon.
