August

 Leah had her last little class in July-it was her tumbling class. She did quite well and decided it was more fun than dance. We will enroll her for a session next year.

We took our annual trip to Nauvoo with Jake's family. It was much of the same as we do each year, but we love going and the kids have a great time.

 The kids and I visited the zoo one beautiful summer day. I promised Isaac we would go one more time before school started and we made it!

 Also before school started, we went to the state fair with my parents. Animals, rides, shows, and WAY too much food! Oh, and Paul Ryan happened to be speaking the day we were there. Remember that guy that should be our next vice president? :(

 JCPenney offered free kids cuts in August. Other than his first haircut at 5 months old, Isaac has always had his hair cut at home so this was a special treat (and a great deal for me!).

 Isaac started Kindergarten the end of August. He was a bit nervous, but very excited and did great!
