Block Party

So Alex and I went to our first block party on Saturday. I don't know why this concept was so foreign to me - it felt just like a ward party! I guess it's a pretty big deal out here, so they have planning meetings and the day of the party they put up barricades on both ends of the street so that they could set up. There was a big blow up waterslide, lots of food, music, and people. It was nice because we were able to meet some of our neighbors who all seem like really nice, down-to-earth kind of people. We went back to our place after dinner because the hard liquor started coming out...let's just say that our neighborhood was pretty quiet the next morning! :)

Who doesn't like cake?

I came across this video the other day, and it cracked me up!

Football Season

It's fall, which means that it's football season. We were able to watch the BYU vs UCLA game today (go Cougs!), and based on this footage it looks like my little girl bleeds blue...

Milestones

We've had some fun milestones over the past two weeks. It's amazing how fast babies grow up!

Holiday Weekend

I love holiday weekends. Even when we don't really do anything special. Just the fact that we can veg all weekend long and have Alex around for an extra day is holiday enough! In true Labor Day fashion, we bbq'ed. A lot. On Labor Day we visited two different state parks near our home. I totally regret not doing this more often over the past year - the parks are so beautiful! I also think that Nicole is a nature girl, since she loves going outside and seeing the trees and the sun shining through them. Here are just a couple of pics from our weekend...
