August 2010

Ok... I realized I skipped a few months here... but until I catch up with myself, we're just gonna have to resume blogging as of now. :)

So. August.


This month is going good! We went to see Metal Mulisha, which as a really cool freestyle motocross (I think thats what it's called) group that does shows. We went to the Douglas County Fair in Roseburg, OR and saw one of their shows! Kevin's older brother Brad and his wife Rashelle live in Roseburg with their three kids (Jocelyn, 6, Sydnee, 4, and Tyler, almost 3 months). So, we visit them a lot and they invited us to come over for a couple days and go to the show with them. Kevin's older sister, Jen, was also there with her husband, Kevin Wheeler. It was a lot of fun!! :) The riders did tons of cool tricks... I forgot the names. Let's see... there were whips... ooo a couple of them did backflips which was pretty cool to see... and there were supermans, heel clickers, dead bodies... (thats a trick. not literally "dead bodies" haha) Anyway... it was an awesome show. And after watching the motorcycles we walked around the rest of the fair and looked at everything. I got teriyaki chicken and noodles, and a big slushy in this really odd-shaped cup, we saw the animals (mostly pigs and goats), heard some good music... it was a fun day!

Before metal mulisha- there was a bus that did runs to the fair so you didn't have to worry about parking.

Goof Ball.

Here's a whip.

Another kind of whip...

BACKFLIP!

SUPERMAN! haha

dead body i think.

Then just this last weekend my family came to visit! (well, minus Dad and Ammon.) Ammon skipped out on the visit because he was just here a few weeks ago (and he had a date ;-P ), and Dad had to work. :( But we still had a fun time! We went to Loon Lake and swam for a while, then later that same night we went to the beach and tried to see how long we could wade in the water before our toes fell off (no one got to that point, thank goodness). We also walked around Lake Marie and Braden was brave enough to jump in that one too. The rest of us were either too chicken (it was colder water than Loon Lake) or we didn't have our swimsuits on us. (I gotta confess... I kind of "forgot" mine on purpose.) :) But we had a fun time while the fam was here. We always like it when they visit. :)


Beautiful Momma.

Well, that just about sums up August so far. Kevin and I are just kind of waiting until next month when we move to Provo! We're really excited. We've (I think) officially set the moving date as September 7th. (That's 2 days after our 1 year anniversary... so I don't think we'll be doing anything big this year haha) But we're slowly packing things that we won't need for the next few weeks so that we won't have a load to do the week we move (I'm sure we will still have a load to do... but hopefully packing in increments will make it a little less severe.)
