And off he goes

Preston really likes using this walker to get around. He's pretty funny to watch when he runs into things.

BYU vs UW Football Game

We went to the BYU vs UW football game on Saturday in Seattle. The weather was beautiful and the views were spetacular. My family came over for the day to go to the game. It was a fun game, very close, but BYU ended up winning. My Dad, brother and Kyle were all rooting for UW to win so it was pretty funny since they were surrounded by BYU fans.

After the football game, we went back to our house to pick up Kate and Preston and to relieve the babysitter. Then we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner- yummy! Then, my parents went home after dinner because Jeff had to pack and leave to go back to Rexburg in the morning so they needed to get back.

Labor Day

I am behind on blogging... For labor day weekend we stayed here- normally we go to my parents house or to the Ellensburg Rodeo and Fair, but this time we didn't. On Monday, Kyle met my Dad, brothers and brother-in-law outside Ellensburg to go on a motorcycle riding trip. Kyle loved it and Kate was so excited when he got home all dirty and tired.

I asked Kate what she wanted for lunch and she insisted on crackers and mayo. I thought she meant crackers and tuna fish, but nope, just mayo! Gross, huh?! She loved it.

I thought this was cute of Preston playing with a tractor.

Shrek the Musical

My fabulous sister, Marci, volunteers for Make a Wish Foundation and they gave her two free tickets to see the World Premiere of Shrek the Musical at the 5th Avenue Theater in Seattle on Wednesday night. She invited me to go with her! I am glad she did because it was really funny!!! Marci and I were told to be quiet from the man sitting next to Marci- oops. We still kept laughing. My favorite character was Lord Farquaad who had these amazingly short legs (the man playing him knelt down and moved around like that so the legs were faux legs on his thighs. Too funny.) Thanks Marci for a fun night! And thanks to Kyle for giving up basketball that night so I could go. :)

Morning Breath

This morning (before I had brushed my teeth) I was singing the ABC song to Kate and she said "you let a stinker?"

I said, "no!" and kept singing.

Then she said, "your face stinks!"

"What?" I ask.

"Your faces stinks!" she repeated.

Then, I told her that it was my breath that stinks because I hadn't brushed my teeth yet. I immediately went and brushed my teeth then had her smell my breath again and she approved. :) I LOVE the funny things kids say.

Fair Time

We went to the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe on Saturday and had a great time. I've never been to this fair before, but it's probably the best fair I've been to. In the morning, it looked like it was going to rain, but while we were there the sun came out and ended up being a beautiful day. I was so sad though because I forgot my camera at home!!! Kate loved the rides and all the animals. She insisted on seeing the bunnies for some reason. There were SO many food booths it was crazy. Amazingly, all we bought was some blue cotton candy for Kate. It was the first time she's had that and she LOVED it (yuck). I had brought us a lunch so we were boring and ate that instead of buying food. Normally, we go to fairs just for the food, right family?! We watched a lumberjack show and Preston cried when they fired a gun and Kate cried when they climbed a 75 ft pole- she kept saying "he's falling! I scared! I want to go!" It was funny. A nice lady (who Kate kicked in the bum many times) turned around and talked to Kate about the show and how it's all pretend. She ended up calming down. Then we saw these horses running around in a corral and one came up to Kate and showed all his nasty yellow teeth and got in her face- she was so scared! It was pretty funny. There was also a pig race I wanted to see, but we ended up not seeing it. I'm sure it would have been funny.

For dinner, Kyle and I went to Outback. Darbi watched the kids while we went. We switch off every month or so babysitting each other's kids so we can get a date night. I went to a baptism for a girl in the primary and then came home and we watched a movie. Fun day.
