august 2k19: part whatever, aka the end.

Last week of August = adventure time with Grandpa Braden at the Western Idaho Fair! Clyde had to skip for football practice, but the other kiddos loved the petting zoo, always our first stop:

Bumped into these three lovely ladies as we walked around, had to take a quick picture! We love the Orton family.

Poking around in the ambulance, also a favorite year to year:

Rides!

Pictures with Grandpa :).

Virtual reality tent:

Cutest flowers around ;). We love this tradition with Grandpa!

Was oddly tempted to get this for Carma at D.I. while she's still in the stage of wanting to be a "policewoman" someday:

Cute Sunday after church pictures.

My step counts the first couple days of school, yiiikes:

Insta caption: Yoshi... 2.0? the Second? of Clan Izatt? has gotten a couple new features lately, adding to its general attractiveness and efficiency. First off, bumper sticker courtesy of Chuck’s amazon addiction. I feel like when cars pass me on the King’s overpass... or the 16th street overpass... or the overpass to Target... they should wave and at least thank me for giving them a heads up 🤗🙌🏼. Next up, also courtesy of the aforementioned online shopping problem 😭💸😂, a convenient basket for my cell phone, water bottle, and anything else that my heart so desires 📚📱🎺🏈🍪🥐💁🏻‍♀️. Long story short, my scooter is cooler than Chuck’s and I feel confident that if it could handle a passenger, Clyde would not have greeted me as sassily as he did when I rolled up the last two days on Chuck’s scooter to pick him up after practice 😎😏

Insta caption: DON’T let Chuck’s closed eyes/clenched jaw fool you: visiting Carma June’s hair shop is relaxing as can be💆🏻‍♂️. She’s been a “hair worker” for five years, and also twelve years, per her conversation with Chuck today - who at one point dared to complain about her intense combing and was met with a response of “EVERY boy and man who comes to my hair shop LOVES this hairstyle” soooo yeah 😎. Book quickly! *if you prefer a male hairstylist, these two roles do reverse M-F circa 745am when Chuck does Carma’s hair for kindergarten👧🏻👱🏻‍♀️👩🏼‍🎤👩🏻‍🦱. Full disclosure that those hairstyles are not bike helmet compatible and Miss Overcast will need to take out your ponytail/pigtails before you bike home after school 😅🚴🏻‍♀️😂

Some more after church pictures, this time featuring A DRESS I WORE WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!!:

But seriously, all I do at work is walk... and walk... and walk some more.

Braces on....

Braces off! 

New pink shoes (for all the walking ya know).

Insta caption: Pretty thrilling Friday night 🛵🚦🛣. But I must be doing something right because we are getting out early and I have time to stop at DI 😏✌🏼

Insta caption: Scooter class right above the hot air balloon launch this morning = getting to watch like five of them land right around us 🤩🔥🌬🎈. I spent most of the day killin’ it on my scooter 🛵😎 and trying not to get busted for altering my ‘riding gear’ 😅 - my very patient instructors generally ignored me rolling my pants up a bit and flipping up my visor on the regular but were very insistent I keep my gloves on and my sleeves rolled down 😭😂. Overall it was way fun and def helped me further develop and practice some excellent safety skills and I passed the course which means I’m a mere five hour stretch at the DMV away from having my motorcycle endorsement 🙌🏼 and my classmates were the best 🤙🏼 and it was mostly worth the money and hours in the heat and getting up early on my day off 🤨🧐🤪
