The Time is Nearing...

 This little boy is almost 18 months, which means nursery is just around the corner.  Next week in fact.

 This last Sunday we decided to take him in just to try it out.  He walked right in and started playing with all the toys and didn't even look back at Nic and I.  He stayed the entire time without any problems which sure was a relief to me.  In the last little while he has become a little terror! He hits, he throws everything, and will throw the biggest tantrums! We are getting an early start on the "Terrible Twos".  It's hard for me to believe that he is almost 18 months.  Attitude and all I sure do love this little boy!

Since Everyone is Dying to Know...

 What we did last week here you go.  Wednesday we split our Beehives up and had an Iron Chef night.  I gave them a bunch of ingredients with out a recipe and they had to come up with something to make.  They did pretty good the cookies were edible just with a bread like texture!

 Thursday we hiked up Waterfall Canyon for Relief Society.  It was a fun little adventure and the temperature was beautiful. Though there wasn't much of a waterfall it was still so fun to go for a hike and to get to know more women from the ward.

 Friday Nic had the day off so we packed up the canoe and went up to Causey for the afternoon.  We were shocked with how low the water was, it looked like a completely different place.  We had to hike the canoe in quite a ways and man Nic and I are still feeling it today.  We paddled all the way to where the water forks and that was as far as we could go before we were beached!

 After canoeing we went to the mall because I wanted to get my ears pierced. When we got there Payton was so excited and I caved in and let her get hers pierced too.  She was so excited and didn't show any fear at all.  She didn't want Nic and I to hold her she just wanted to sit in the chair by herself. She was much braver than me.  But I stuck it out and I got mine done too. I still shrug when I have to twist and clean my ear rings but I'm sure I will eventually get over it. Yes I am 24 years old and have never had my ears pierced!

 Saturday I threw a Bridal Shower for Cecelia and I thought it turned out great! We had a lot of people show and everything went smoothly! Only a few more weeks until the big day and we can't wait!!!

 Nic and I were also finally able to go on a date.  This was our first date since Cancun, that's a little over due if you ask me! We went to Goodwood for dinner and bowling afterwards.  It was so nice to enjoy a dinner with just the two of us and a night out.

End of August, Beginning of September...

 I can't believe we are already into September.  August flew by so quickly.  Our summer activities are coming to a close which makes me a little sad, but I am ready for this heat to subside.  It has been a very hot and dry summer. 
On Wednesday we went to the splash pad for the last time and had it all to ourselves.  We got together with Kat and her nieces while Kat is in town.

 On Friday we went to Seven Peaks for the last time as well and spent a total of 5 minutes swimming before the storm came and we had to evacuate the pools.  We hung around for awhile but this storm wasn't going anywhere so we packed up and headed home.

 Saturday was spent hanging out with family for Tawna's Birthday, Emma's baptism, and McKay's baby blessing.  The storm hung around and was off and on all day Saturday which made for some beautiful skies.

 Labor Day was our day for the Brigham City Temple Open House.  Our reservation was for 2:30 which didn't matter because they opened it up to everyone! Needless to say 3.5 hours later we made it inside the Temple.

 Quick group shot before getting back on the bus... Fail.

Gnome Wars...

 We have been having fun with our little gnomes and I figured we ought to add it to our blog so we can remember what we have done. 

You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent.

Aaron and Tawna later found him in their garden in the tomato cages.

 "I hope your gnome can breathe under water wahha ha ha ha"

 "Killer dog under attack"

 "You call my garden the 'weed' garden?"

 "Who has the weed garden now muah ha ha"

 "Hello"

 "Trader"

 "Your dead to me."
