Swimming at Mima and Papa's

We went out to CA earlier this summer to visit my (Brandon's) family.  My parents have this awesome pool with slide and waterfall.  When we first got there Elly wouldn't dare to go down the slide.  So I went with her a few times.  Then I convinced her to go by herself from about a foot up the slide, then two, then three etc.  After about 10 minutes she was doing this:

The Show

The kids love putting on shows. This impromptu little number happened on the front porch the other day. Miles appreciates our laughter and praise at about 0:58 when he says, "Thank you".

Autumn Leaves

Here's Elly playing in the leaves with some friends of ours and their kids.  Warning: Lots of high-pitched squeals of joy ahead.  (Sorry for the video choppiness; it was getting pretty dark outside.)

Thanks, LeCheminants, for the good times!

Ridin'

Our neighbors across the street have these fun little "motorcycles" the kids love to ride.

Thanks, Carliles, for the good times and the pictures!

Chase, and Putting the Roomba to Sleep

Here's a fun little video of the kids chasing each other.  Also, of Miles putting the Roomba down for a nap.  Yeah, the Roomba.  And yeah, to sleep...with blankets.

So we got this Roomba last week, and since then the kids have been mesmerized (and a little frightened in Miles' case) by it.  But they love putting it "to sleep", which means they push the button to send it to its dock for charging and then they put blankets on it.  Miles calls it "robot".  So he says, "Night-night, Robot."  It's like part of the family now.

On Campus

This is the new path on BYU campus.  It's beautiful. We took the kids there recently.  They loved it!

Uh Oh

Sometimes Brothee likes dressing up in Elly's clothes and shoes and playing with her dolls.

Chillin' at the Mall

We went to lunch at the mall the other day and ate outside since the weather was so nice.  I love that the kids can have fun anywhere doing anything.  That day, they just played on the rocks while we finished eating.  I don't know if they were sunbathing or just climbing or what.  But it was pretty funny to see.
