August 2016

On August 1st Christian helped me clean out our front planting bed and put in more soil. Still need to get something planted there!


This doggie loves to be a snuggle.

Took Bud to Sonic for a slush and some evil treats known as "Cinnasnacks." They are like the love child of a Cinnabon and a pizza roll!

And our bed continues to be a jungle gym to this day.

On the 2nd Bud found a bunch of snails including this teeny tiny guy.

I found a picture on Facebook which I had been looking for to include in a blog book from a few years ago. Neighborhood Easter hunt!

On the 5th I went with Dad, Eric, Joy and Jordan to Tucanos and then to an Escape Room. We had given this to dad for Christmas or his birthday and we were finally getting around to it!
There was only the option of the toughest room they had--only one team had ever won it and it was on their second try. This one, if you won you got fee t-shirts, hence the name we chose. We got close, but did not escape! It was fun anyway.

On the 6th we got this crazy hail.


August 13th we had a church party which was a luau. A new family in the ward, the Alofipo's, are from Samoa and Hawaii and they roasted a whole pig in the ground and invited their friends who had performed at the Polynesian Cultural center to put on a show for us!




 
On the 14th we got to meet baby Lex! He's such a cutie and looks so much like his brother.

On the 16th we met up with mom & dad and Sarah's family at Lagoon.



August 18th was any size container day so the kids got ginormous pitchers of Slurpee.

August 19th found us at the condo again. Christian had fun with the baby legos!

The next day, the adults competed in completing a Sudoku puzzle!

We left a bit early so we could stop by the Davis County fair. Our favorite exhibits: the petting zoo, rabbits and chickens, did not disappoint.








August 24th was the first day of school. Faith's health was still not good during the summer, but she started feeling better a few weeks before and had done really well at camp. Very encouraging and we were excited for her to start 9th grade!
Bud's so big he's going into 4th!


My besties and I took advantage of our newfound freedom by going to breakfast at Aunt Annie's Diner. Approximately 20 billion calories were consumed.

Found this on my phone--the reason I love The Royals tv show:

and I love this quote:

On August 28th we celebrated Christian's birthday a little early with the family. Faith made this AMAZING cake:

We started at Petersons'


and then over to Braeggers' where we had a double party with Tina for her 50th birthday.



Christian was there dressed as the Grim Reaper to surprise her and wish her happy birthday!



Inside were lots of Star Wars decorations for Bud. Tammy outdid herself with this party!
