AZ State Fair




Last night we went to the Arizona State Fair. It was a lot of fun, Weezer played which was fun to listed to, and I saw the largest steer I have ever seen in my life. Clayton's brother Braeden and his girlfriend Nadia were amazed that I have never had a funnel cake in my life. So I ate one and and had hearburn the rest of the night. It was good but I wasn't that impressed. Sorry guys, but I don't think I will be eating another one anytime soon.

Boss Man


Rachael and Scott had their baby last week. He is seriously so adorable.Welcome to this world Boss Harris. You are such a sweet little boy, I love being your aunt!

Home Sweet Home!

And here is the main reason I am so behind on posting. We bought a house and have been moving, unpacking, and putting everything in its new place. We are so happy about our new house. Since we have been married, it is the first place we have actually lived by ourselves! Thank you everyone who has helped us move things upstairs and lift furniture through our second story windows. We really appreciate all of the help. I will post more pictures when we actually have our place decorated. Right now it is still pretty empty.




Here is Dan, Clayton, Braedon, and Matt lifting our entertainment center through the window. It really was an impressive site to see.

St. Louis

This summer we also had to chance to go to St. Louis to visit Chelsey, Daniel, Koston, Jak, and new baby Penny. It was so much fun! We went straight from the airport to the Arch and took a ride to the top. You could see everything from up there. Some of us also took the tour at the brewery that owns the majority of St. Louis. We ate frozen custard way too much at the famous Ted Drew's which made all of us very happy. Then, on Sunday we were able to see Penny's baby blessing.


These are the weird little cabins that you sit in and ride to the top of the arch. They are so tiny and you feel like it's going to break the whole way to the top. And there are no windows so you you can't see outside until you reach the top.


Here is the view from the top. On the other side you could see the Mississippi River go on forever.



The Anheiser-Busch factory is so large and beautiful. Koston always loves going to the brewery because they give you free lemonade and pretzels at the end.

Here me, Clayton, and Koston are eating at Ted Drew's again. They seriously have the best frozen custard ever! The place is always super busy when you go there.

And here is sweet Penny.

Utah Trip

Over Labor Day we went back up to Utah and had so much fun! We went up to the Payson property and made dinner over a fire. We played games, went to the local carnival, hung out with our good friends the Barrett's, and spent the rest of the time hanging out at Leslee and LeGrand's house as usual. It was so much fun and the weather was so beautiful. It was also really nice of my old office to come and let me work for the day on Friday. It was really fun to help with some surgeries again. We love Utah! Can't wait to go back and visit again!
