Okay so I really never know where time goes, if anybody finds it let me know! So much has happened since I last wrote. The weekend of August 25th our house was full. My parents came down to visit, which was great, Boise doesn't seem so far away, but 6 hours with a baby makes it seem so far. Then my mom's sister and husband came down, her mom and her brother and his family of 8. We went swimming and ate food and talked. It was tons of fun. Then all the kids stayed and watched a movie while the adults (minus Creed, John and I of course) stayed at a hotel. Sarah stayed up all night of course and so we didn't make it to church, she isn't very good by the third hour and I didn't want to know what she would be like with only 4 hours of sleep! So we stayed home from church and she slept a little more, but not as much as I would have liked. The following week was great because my sister was here. Even though she goes to school in Logan we don't see her a ton so I really enjoyed the full week of girl! We went to the temple, shopping, out to dinner, and out to dessert. We also had a girls night with the Larsen girls and that was tons of fun. They introduced me to the book Twilight, which is so hard to put down and I should have thought to buy the rest of the series, but I didn't silly me. Which is what I have been doing this week, reading the book, I cannot even tell you how good it is. Anyway, Creed got a lot done on the basement and I really do need to get some pictures so that you can see the progress, through it doesn't look like a ton of progress but it is. Well this next week is going to be busy as well, I an opening a booth up in the Quilted Bear here in Provo selling 12x12 frames, to hold scrapbook pages, that actually will look nice in any room of your house (how does that sound for advertising!) Anyway I have to have the booth ready by the 15th, so I hope my inventory gets here fast! I never thought I would own my own business, but it is kind of fun! The company name is Sweet Yesterday and I sure hope that it works out! I also have tons of pictures to post, so hopefully I will find time in the near future to post them. Hope everybody out there is having as wonderful a time with the stuff going on in their lives as we are!
These pictures are of a family adventure in Idaho Falls. We went to visit over labor day weekend and while there we went mini-golfing with my Aunt and Uncle and their four kids. Yes Kirsten went with us. She is taking the semester off from Utah State to hang out in Boise with my Mom and Dad and Chad.
Here are some pictures of Sarah with her Aunt Val the night before Val headed back to school in Boston. Sarah loves her aunt Val (and the rest of her aunts!) but only gets to see her during the summer and in December when school is out. We miss you Val!
Last, but not least some pictures of our adventure at Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake. This is a great little farm from the 1800s that is being run to help show kids what it was like to live on a farm. There are farm animals (a favorite with Parker, Sarah's cousin on the Larsen side) some huge farm equipment from every era, an old farm house, a barn, cellars, and a tree house (Parker's other favorite part of the day!) I had never been before and I really enjoyed it. Sarah had fun as well, and it was great to spend time with Parker and Grandma!
