Just two of the sweetest kids I know.

On the left side we have our first attempt at Kai's haircut. It was a failure because I refused to cut off his curls and he screamed the entire time. All wasn't lost though because the kids got Slurpees at the end. On the other side we have Ava and her lizard (she's been trying to catch one all summer and we finally found a half-dead one that couldn't move fast enough), Kai and his fascination with water, daddy's softball games, and Ava's friend "Whaley Whale".

A "Late Night" with good friends. Ice cream, a movie, and a bunch of little girls. What more could Ava ask for?

Children's Museum. We had so much fun! Both kids were fascinated by the miniature grocery story. Ava loved running the cash register and Kai was thrilled to fill his basket with food. When he tried to pick it up though, he was truly annoyed. It's a good thing he doesn't handle the grocery shopping in this house. Kai dressed up as Superman and Ava, of course, dressed up as a princess and they both showed us their moves on stage!

One night we had some friends over and the kids were playing so well upstairs! Little did I know they had emptied the ENTIRE playroom into our gigantic tub. I'm not even going to talk about how long it took to clean up. Some other fun things that Ava has done lately is to have us all wear pig masks. She loved it, but Kai refused to join in on the fun. She is also going to dance every week with her friend Taylor and she really likes it. The last picture is just the cutest thing. During conference my kids actually sat down for a couple of minutes and watched President Monson. It totally made up for them running around and screaming the rest of the time.
