Sorry this entry is over a week late, we have been busy around here!



August 28, 29 & 30 Tony took off work to finish the sprinkler system and finish grade the yard. He worked very hard on it, but still had to have Tyler and his friend rake most of the day on the 31st.



On Thursday, August 30th, I packed my things, well I tried to pack around the baby in my suitcase! Christian and I headed off to Park City to stay the night and Faith got to sleep over with Jordan & Sierra.



Friday morning we drove into Midway early for Swiss Days, which is a giant outdoor craft fair. It would have been more fun if Christian had gotten more sleep and didn't scream for the first few hours of it. Still, I got a few things and had fun with my mom, Joy, Sarah and her kids Alaura & Noah.



On Saturday, September 1st we layed the sod for our front and side yards! We had lots of help: dad, mom, Eric, Brad, Jordan and even pregnant little Joy. Oh, and I have to mention that Faith was also a cute little helper, dragging the heavy rolls of sod and tucking the edges like a pro.

It was hard work, but only took about three hours!

Since we were busy with the lawn on the 1st, we had Christian's birthday party on Monday. We had a barbeque with chicken breasts on the grill and lots of salads brought by the family.


Christian got tons of cute toys, books and clothes and thoroughly covered himself with chocolate cake!

Tuesday the 4th Christian had to go to the doctor for his one year checkup and shots. Here he is enjoying the fish tank in the lobby.

Thursday was an exciting day, Faith's first day of Kindergarten! She absolutely loves school and also riding the bus. I can't believe how grown up she is!

Saturday evening Faith went bowling with her aunt Tammy and her cousin Zach. She slept over at Grandma & Grandpa Braegger's and had lots of fun. Tony, Christian & I went out to eat at Lucky Buffet. They have two cement Chinese statues that resemble lions at the front door and when we walked past them Christian pointed and said "Dog!" and then panted like a dog. He's hilarious, he won't say "dada" and says "mom" all the time, like it means almost everything, but he can say "dog," pant like a dog, and meow like a cat.

I've been busy a couple of days last week and every day this week babysitting for a lady in my ward. She has two boys, 8 & 5, and I watch them from 6:10 am (youch, way early for me!) until they leave for school at 8:25 and then the younger one after kindergarten until 4:00. They are cute kids and Christian loves having a playmate while Faith's gone to afternoon Kindergarten.

Hopefully it won't be more than two weeks until my next update!
