We're Back!

Well, I didn't open my facebook page or my blog for the month of September. I really didn't miss facebook - except when I wanted to print a coupon that could only be found there. I did, however, miss my blog. I didn't write in my journal much during the month, which goes to show that I need this blog in order to keep up with our family history. My blog didn't get many hits, which goes to show that I'm pretty much the only one that reads it - so I'm not going to make it private. I don't think it's necessary.

And here's a recap of what we did this month.

Bought this awesome bouncing toy at Goodwill: $99 at Target, $8.50 at Goodwill.

Made our weekly trek to the zoo (two times one week).

Went to an apple orchard that also had a corn maze, hay ride, playground and more. Super fun!

Jalen handled quality checks.

David turned 31. In lieu of birthday cake he requested chocolate chip cookies and caramel apples. (Love you, Honey!)


Jalen sported his first bow tie. (Thanks Aunt Tiffy.)

Baylie sported some Rapunzel hair.

We went to the Greek festival - it was awesome.

A Greek guitarist jumped on our table to serenade a lady. Baylie still talks about it.

And the biggest news of all....we adopted again.

Meet Simba.


He was a rescue, so we got him when he was only three weeks old. It's been a lot of work to dropper feed him, help him go potty and keep him warm. But he's doing great. Baylie informs me that I'm not the mommy, she's the mommy.

And now for my next computer goal...I'm not going to read any entertainment/gossip news for the month of October. I'm pretty sure this will be harder than the facebook fast.

Glad you're back. I love seeing what you've been up to. Oh, and the Dinosaur Park is in Ogden. It is amazing. Next time you come to visit your parents come up and see us and we'll go visit it together. We have a season pass and go all the time. Well, except for this summer because I've been prego and barfy. The girls have missed it.
