August

We moved into our new house on the first of August.  The boys' favorite part is the jetted tub!

Things were crazy that first week!  Tyson was trying to keep up with his new job, I was trying to unpack and deal with all the mess.  The boys were basically feeding themselves (notice the self-made PB&J with the apple and orange Easton chose out for his dinner.)  The boys were trying to adjust to our new home and were extremely exhausted.  On top of it all, we couldn't get the TV to work and hadn't gotten internet service yet.  For a week we tried everything we could think of.  I finally asked a neighbor who told me we can't get regular antenna TV in our area.  This is Easton taking the news...

Rub-a-dub-dub three boys in the tub!

We took a short break from the chaos to celebrate our seventh anniversary.  My parents watched the kiddos for us.  Since Tyson's truck registration was expired, we started off the date by waiting for 2 hours to have the safety and emissions done on the truck (which failed...) then we finally went to dinner at Olive Garden.  It never disappoints.  I think I ate 10 breadsticks - note my plump face...

We moved in just before South Weber Country Fair days.  I took the boys to watch the parade and we had a great time.

For part of Country Fair Days there was a children's rodeo.  It was so fun to watch the mutton busting and goats!  The kids had to untie a ribbon off the goat's leg.  So funny!  Later in the week there was a carnival and firework show.  Easton took off ahead of us on our way to the fireworks.  Tyson left for work and the other two boys and I got loaded up in the stroller.  I thought Easton would wait for me at the corner but he was nowhere to be found.  I ran around the carnival for a bit, but it was packed with teenagers cuz there was a dance afterward.  I couldn't really get around pushing the double stroller and I thought there's no way he would have gone in there!  So I ran back home frantically searching for him, but he wasn't there.  I ran back to the carnival still pushing the double stroller and went to the police trailer.  They said they had him and were looking for us in the phonebook.  I felt so stupid!  They said, "didn't you hear us calling your name over the speaker?"  Well, no, no I didn't because I went home!  That sounded terrible!  I just thought there's no way Easton would have gone into that huge crowd!  Turns out Easton saw Tyson driving down the road past the park for work and told the police that his parents just drove off without him!  Ugh!!  It was so embarrassing!

Here's our new house!  Photo taken by Aunt Kate.  We've had lots of visitors.  Many stopped by on their way to the Ogden Temple open house.  

We took a day trip back to Lehi to visit the Museum of Natural Curiosity with our friends, the Langstons, during Two Buck Tuesdays.  Fin loved to splash on this water table!  He could have stayed there all day!

August was a month of allergies for Easton!  His eyes were so swollen all month!  No medicine would help.  I still don't know what his problem was.  After a few weeks they magically disappeared.

Fin decided he could stand up like the big boys!

The boys and I visited the Treehouse Museum in Ogden.  They LOVED it.  So there's basically a picture overload...

I told Easton to grab some sushi and put on a kimono for this pictures and he was SO embarrassed that I would even suggest something like that.  Then he threw me this peace sign.

Callan loved my idea.

Painting vegetable gardens

Easton was chosen to be in the play, "9 in 1, yum yum." (or something like that)

He played the bear.

King Callan

Tyson and Hayden worked so hard painting our high ceilings!  It was a major pain!

Easton started kindergarten at South Weber Elementary.  His teacher is Mrs. Spencer and he loves it!

We went to the Ogden Temple open house.  It was beautiful!

Fin had his nine month check up.  So big!  He had 6 teeth, (now one month later he has 11 - ha!  It's been a fun month.)

He weighed 19 lbs 12 oz (51st %ile)

28.25" tall (or short) (30 something %ile)

and head circumference 43.5 cm (11th %ile)  he can thank his dad for his tiny head!

Again with the swollen allergy eyes!

Tyson exploded a pop in the NEW freezer just a few short weeks after exploding one in the OLD freezer.

We went on a walk down the Draper trail.  I can't remember what day this was.  There must have been a reason we were all together...

All these years and I had never actually been to see the legendary Draper zebra.
