What we have been up to





The circus was in town a couple of weeks ago. We went to the elephant parade at The Gateway. The girls loved seeing the elephants, the dancers and the rest of the circus people. They got their arms painted, coloring books, popcorn and cotton candy. Not a bad way to spend an hour!







Brooke's dog had another litter of puppies. The girls loved going over to play with them. They would have loved to take one home. I think 3 dogs would have been a crowd! Izzie and Sarge will do for now!





Adam's favorite country singer David Allen Coe came to SLC. We went to his concert with our friends Brooke and Trevor. We went and ate at Squatters and then headed to the concert. It was at this tiny bar in SLC. What a fun night we had!







Over Labor Day, our friends Monica and Jim and their daughter Jessie came to visit from Denver. We took them to the Uintas for the weekend. We had a blast 4-wheeling, fishing, hiking, and hanging out. We miss them so much. They are like our second family. The girls especially had fun with Jessie.





Soccer came and went very quickly! The girls had fun running and playing with their friends. It was cute to see all these 3 and 4 year olds running around the ball like a swarm of bees!











The girls both started preschool in September. They are both loving school. I am loving that I have 1 1/2 hours to myself twice a week! It is hard to belive Avery is already old enough to go to school. She and Madison both look forward to school everyday!

What the.....Snow??

We woke up to 6 inches of snow yesterday! You would have thought it was Christmas. The girls were so excited and could not wait to play outside. They spent a good part of the day playing in the snow. Isn't it just the first part of October? Im not sure im ready for winter yet. But the girls sure are!
