Birthday BBQ for Allee, Brian and Dad


We had a Birthday BBQ for Allee, Brian and my dad. They all have bdays in September. Allee turned 8. Brian turned 28 and my dad turned 58. We BBQ'd on Sunday and had hamburgers, chip -n- dip and fruit. We hung out in the backyard, opened presents and ate ice-cream and cake.


We got to have Taylor with us too. She's almost 2 - I can't believe it.

Christa's Baby Shower


I got to throw my friend a baby shower. It was fun! She is due any day now. She got some great stuff. I cannot wait to meet this baby girl - Paisley Jo.



Happy Birthday Hubby


Brian turned 28 on Sept 9th. He's been busy with school - so on his birthday I put a goody sack in his car for him to find in the morning, made him swiss chicken (at his request) for dinner and gave him his gifts. I got him a windshield wiper for inside your car, nice hangers (cuz he wants to get rid of all our wire ones) and a gift certificate to Home Depot.





Then on the weekend we went to dinner and a movie with Weston & Christa to celebrate as well. :)




Labor Day Camping Trip


We went on a camping trip over Labor day with Steve's family and Jeff's family. I was sick most the time, but still had a great time. We have such an awesome family. The above picture is of Bryson - he was a little upset and rubbed his face in the dirt - haha.


Above is Connor all ready for battle and below Megan & Connor are sword fighting.


Below is Megan, me and Copper watching the family play softball.

Happy 1st Birthday Whit-Wher


Whitney had her 1st Birthday on Sept. 4th. Rich & Kim celebrated with pizza and cake at the park. Whit was so cute with the cake... at first she wasn't quite sure what to do, but as you will see below - she started to enjoy the pink frosting quite a bit. :)

Updating

Here's an update on some of the events of the summer.

Brian and I went on our annual Starvation trip in July. It was a blast as always. We did a Luau theme night and played games and ate great food. The picture below is me, my sis and Brian eating a Starvation traditional treat - muddy buddies. We love them.



Every year at Starvation we have a horseshoe tournament. I didn't win this year, but I did get a double ringer - which is amazingly awesome!


Our best friends starred in the Draper Beauty and the Beast play. They did SO good! We went and saw them twice. :)


Brian and I during the bow hunt. Brian didn't get anything, but he was almost attacked by a badger. Yikes!


This is my friend Christa's work baby shower. She is due any day now. I cannot wait to meet baby Paisley! I am so excited about it.


The Annual Gopher Gang Golf Tournament. Weston played this year. It was fun to have friends there hanging out with us. :)


Rachel's Baptism. She is such a beautiful young girl. I am so proud of her.


More to come. I promise to catch up and be better at blogging. :) Life is just too darn busy.
