Honey Do Day

Yesterday was a great day...had Matt home all day, and with one car in the shop, and the other not quite working well, we decided to stay at home. :) So we cleaned, mowed the lawn, rode bikes, and...got an unexpected new toy for Scott!



This is the newest version of an old toy my Dad made for us when we were little kids...the original kitchen set. We took the fridge that Matt built for Scott last Christmas and tore it apart and made it into this hutch...a kid's kitchen can always use a face-lift, right? Love my handyman who does the spur-of-the-moment stuff his crazy wife asks! (Although, I think he enjoyed doing this more than what we had originally planned...washing the car).

And yes, I did say that we rode bikes yesterday - Scott has a new bike!! Our totally awesome, cool, nicest friends ever gave us this awesome new bike for Scott, and he can't get enough of it - mealtimes are a waste of time, and naps are only allowed because after them he can ride his bike. Our little speed demon...ahhhh. The best part is when he crashes, he jumps right back up and on the bike while yelling over his shoulder, "I'm OKAY!"

August Recap

Looking back through my pictures today (cleaning up the HD again), I realized that it has been a while since I posted!! Argh. So here you go, August in fast forward...
Coupla trips to visit the Grandparents - on set in St. George and the other set in Mission Viejo: There is this WAY cool park in downtown St. George with a fun waterfall and river through it - still can't get the red rock stains out of Scott's onesie. Trip to MV complete with a stop at Disneyland, the Irvine Regional Park, and the Beach...Scott apparently felt it was due time Luke learned how to Boogie Board. The second trip to CA in August also included a cameo by Matt!! He took me to Disneyland for my birthday and we celebrated the weekend away with Mom and Dad and Sarah, Austin & Luke doing the usual...Disneyland, Beach, and Fashion Island - but a special treat was an Angel's Game! We met the pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles...friend of a friend kinda deal - love that. We love having Matt with us. And of course - Sarah is always good for some fun entertainment. :)

THEN, we were home two days from our trip to CA and turned around and went to Utah...of course, football season has started - why else? We visited family, played with cousins, grandparents, enjoyed the weather and even made it up to Donut Falls on a hike (it's a must-go). So now we're back and enjoying being home after running around for the month - stay tuned for the next update!!
