3rd Week of August

Nyles and Carter started school this past week!  Nyles started 4th grade on Monday, August 15th.  Carter started Kindergarten on Thursday, August 18th.  They are both at Altara Elementary.  The school was given a grant to do full day Kindergarten, so we can pick them up and drop them off at the same time.  Carter was so sad he had to wait 3 days before he could go to school like Nyles.  He was counting down the days, and it finally came!

Cute boys ready for school!

Cute Hudson putting Piper as she eats her food.  Great quote.  Nyles lost another tooth at school!

Hudson loves water and bath time.  It's been so hot so he loves getting in the bath to play in the water.  He likes "riding" the tugboat and cleaning his digger.  He's so cute when he sleeps also!

Hudson's 2nd birthday was on Saturday, August 20th.  We were headed up to Idaho on Friday afternoon to go pick corn though, so we gave him one of his presents before we left.  It was a little vacuum since he LOVES to vacuum.  He had a lot of fun all day playing w/ it.  

Well after the screw we found in the Honda's tire last weekend, we then found out they couldn't repair it since it was too close to the edge.  We were hoping to just repair that tire, but come to find out ALL 4 tires were pretty much shot/worn out.  After digging in to the reason why (since we just bought them exactly 1 year ago), we realized we hadn't rotated the tires at all, but even more so our alignment was REALLY BAD.  After getting 4 brand new tires at Costco, we then went over to Big O Tires to have them aligned.  Well after doing it 5 TIMES, they finally got it corrected!  The mechanic told Steve it was the worse he's ever seen.  We're guessing when we bought the car in 2019 it was off and just kept getting worse.  So after spending a little more than just replacing a tire, we are back in business!

Hudson also like to take the tablet and sneak off w/ it when he can.

Carter all pumped up for his 1st day of Kindergarten!  Standing in line and going into the school.

We left Friday afternoon up to Idaho after I got done w/ work.  Steve dropped Piper off at Dave/Joann's.  She was of course interested in their dinner.  It was also raining on Saturday so she was in and out the door, checking out the neighbor's dogs behind the fence.

Saturday morning we went out to pick corn.  

Where is Grandpa?  Beautiful corn.

Hudson helping sweep the floor.  Then Carter helping pick corn.

After getting the corn ready, we picked up my mom, then came back over to Marla/Mark's place to cook, cut and bag the corn.   We joined in the fun.  Aunt Elaine was also there helping Grandma and her get some corn.  Katie, Becky and her 3 kids (Sophie, Oliver and Henry) were there as well.

Becky did most of the cooking of the corn, Elaine rinsed it, and the rest of us cut and bagged it.  Nyles, Marla, Katie and Nyles helping cut and bag the corn.  Steve ended up taking Hudson back to my parent's place to take a nap and missed out on the fun :)

We gave my mom some more Hummingbird feeder juice.  They were very active most of the day; it was awesome.  We gave Hudson his birthday gifts: a Baby Shark to use in the bathtub and my parents gave him a bubble lawn mower.  He loved trying to blow up the balloon.

Cool Hummingbirds around the new juice.

We finished up around lunchtime at Marla/Mark's place.  After getting lunch we decided we'd go pick some more and bag more since we had time to do so.  Nyles, Steve and I went out and picked the corn.  It was SOOO HOT!!!

Cute Hudson wanted to "draw" while we were bagging the 2nd batch.  He's so cute!  Carter joined in on the fun of drawing also.

After dinner we sang Happy Birthday to Hudson.  He actually blow out the candles!  Pretty sunset!

Sunday morning Steve and my dad went out to the other patch closer to the house and picked a few more fresh ears of corn to take home.  We drove up to Boise to attend Barbara's church to hear Mikey give his homecoming talk.  It was great to see him again.  He did an awesome job on his talk as well.

After Sacrament meeting Steve took Hudson to the car and let him take a nap.  After church we went back to Barbara's house for lunch, then sang Happy Birthday to Barbara and Hudson, who share the same birthday on the 20th.

Pretty sunset.  Hudson taking a nap during Sunday School.

We left shortly after to head back home.  Thankfully Hudson took another nap.

Great quotes.
