ABOUT        WE BELIEVE       SAY HELLO

Sep 6, 2011

labor day

spent how it should be. in the pool.
i have to say having your parents own 2 houses is obviously not an ideal situation. (especially when they are right next door to each other). i am sure my parents would rather only own 1. and for a while now, ever since the fire victims left, we have been praying that the old house would sell.

i don't know how i am going to pray for that anymore... because having 2 houses right next to each other is about the coolest idea ever invented. i just didn't know it.

our morning started out with jumping off the patio at the old house 






then moved to catch the football or belly flop at the new house


oh baby! can we say we got a MJ up in here! 

(father like son)

credit to b.j. for literally throwing the football probably 100 times.
he was like the energizer bunny.
he wasn't so lucky this round
(the rest of the pictures show a pretty nice belly flop)
but he redeemed himself, no worries


addie's face is priceless.
i can't get enough of it.
she just has this TINY little body that never stops.
don't be fooled by her size though, this is one determined little sucker.
she didn't stop until she caught it
(ignore me fixing my bathing suit)

i thought i was pretty cool the first round.
but then i was told i got an easy throw

needless to say i was just a little a lot off on the next 2. 
but finally redeemed myself on the 3rd.
(3rd times a charm right? :)
my face is so hideous. but so funny. 
at least it makes me laugh.

and i am happy to say i saved the best for last people.
can we just compare for one second my man facial expressions and arms with my awkward jumps
to ellery's graceful leaps, pointed toes, feminine arms and huge smile???
haha i am pretty sure these pictures exemplify "us"
quite perfectly.

sooooooooooo we said goodbye to california. daron and i lived it up by spending our last night sleeping outside on the couch. just enjoying the warm, humid air while taking in the view. we will miss being surrounded by all the little munchkins and having something to do every second of every day. even if that something is lying on the kitchen floor and doing nothing.

utah was good to us, by welcoming us home with pouring rain! :) i am being a little sarcastic but i shouldn't be because we really are excited to embark on the new adventures fall will bring us. daron is ready for the cold air. i am grappling on to any heat and sun i can get. summer was just too short for my liking this year. it felt like a teaser. before i know it i will be drudging through the lovely snow. (sarcasm again...for some reason i am having a hard time controlling myself) and fighting off the bitter cold.

however, there is fall before that. and utah has quite a wonderful fall. and even though i already miss the fam, they are coming in 2 weeks. daron and i are so spoiled. i really have nothing to complain about. so i'll stop with the nonsense. hope everyone had a happy happy labor day. here is to a short week!!
