Can't wait for them Aggies to start their b-ball season!

Today we went to a scrimage game for the USU football team. We aren't huge fans of the football, besides the fact that they are USU, they haven't been very good for the past 20-30 years. But it was fun to go hang out and watch them play against themselves, and there was tons of free stuff we got. We also purchased our $5 aggie shirts so we are ready for the aggie basketball season to begin (yeah, we've got a bit of time until that, but we are READY!)

Sunnyside!

We were able to go visit Russ' sister and her family in Sunnyside Washington last week for a few days. It was so much fun! Natalie (russ' sister) is the most creative person I know (besides Russ' other sister Camille :). She is the cutest host and thinks of everything. When we arrived to our guest room, she had candy bars wrapped up with cute paper and a piece of fabric with our intials on it, laying on our pillows. It was so fun to get to see where they live and meet their friends and see their town. I am so glad we were able to go visit before Russ starts school next week. We needed a little vacation. Just before we went we all got sick and didn't know if we'd have to cancel at the last minute. Well, we didn't cancel, we went. Sad to say, I think we left our virus with them when we left. (once again, I'M SORRY NATALIE! :) They were so gracious to have us stay with them and do whatever we wanted to do while we were there. We will definetely need to go visit again.

This is Kent's (my brother-in-law) dental practice (one of them). It is undergoing some renovations (major add-on). He gave us a tour of it our first day in Sunnyside, and you wouldn't even believe how HUGE it was. They have 40 employees! They have like 4 (maybe even more) dentists that work in this building, along with that many dental hygenists, and will soon have an anethesiologist, and a bunch of other specialists, all in this building. Ok, so I am estimating all these numbers cause I can't remember them all for sure, but I have NEVER seen anything like this before in my life, it was mind boggling to me. Natalie is helping decorate the new office lobby and it looks amazing so far, I didn't have my camera with me to take any pictures of it, but Natalie will probably post some when it is all done and I can "borrow" some pictures from her blog. :)

Ryker bowling...

Our last night in Sunnyside, Natalie was able to take some family pictures for us. I don't have them yet, but here are some of them that I got from her blog. Thanks Natalie!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYKER!!

My "little-big" boy, turned 3 years old on August 11th! We were up in Sunnyside, WA so we were able to celebrate with Ryker's cousins that live there. On Saturday we went to Chuck E. Cheese, it was Rykers first time going there, and boy did he love it! He absolutely loves putting quarters into candy machines or the electronic rides they have at Wal-Mart, so when he got a cup full of tokens to play all sorts of games at Chuck E. Cheese, he was in HEAVEN! And to top off his heaven, he got tickets every time he played a game. Needless to say, I think it tops his list of the greatest days of his life. It was so fun to watch his excitement over every game. He just loved the atmosphere, I can't wait to take him again!

Ryker is pointing at the camera telling me to not take his picture!

Ping pong toss with cousin Ethan.

This was a neat and huge jungle gym. You climb up these steps and then you can crawl through these tubes that cover the ceiling in the kids area. Ryker would only climb the steps and then go right down the slide, he didn't dare crawl around the tubes-even when dad went up with him...

So many blogs, so little time.

Two weekends ago we went down for a BBQ at my grandparents in Bountiful. It was a lot of fun. Here are some random pictures in no particular order. :)
