June :: My birthday came and went and nothing too exciting happened expect hubby was awesome and let me buy lots and lots of yarn for my crochet blankets i truly intend to finish one day :). However, The second week in June we left the boys at gma and gpa batty's and me and hubby took a few day trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana with my whole family for a bowling trip (sans my older brother and his wife that were unable to come). they only bowled for a total of like 6 hours the whole time so we had lots of time to play as well. It was hot and humid to say the least and rained like no bodies business but it was a fun. We saw some cool tourist sights like a huge battle ship, an awesome Plantation and even went on a Alligator swamp tour. Where we not only saw huge gators which we got to hold and then later that night we ate some gator as well. Gotta tell ya gator is pretty tasty.
July :: For once we got to stay and watch the entire firework show! We made sure Jayden at Ear muffs on and Korwin slept through them! Wahoo! Jayden has been deathly afraid of frireworks the previous 2 years so it was nice to see him enjoy them this year. We didn't do any of our own since there was a city wide firework restriction due to the fire danger and such. But it was awesome to go and watch the big show! Then of course July is Rodeo Month! We were able to go all three nights which was awesome and we took the boys one night with us. Jayden seemed to enjoy it but Korwin was bored from the moment we sat down. OH well, they sure looked cute in their cowboy gear! Then the last weekend of July we took a trip to Provo and we came home with our new (to us) Tahoe. Our old blue was starting to run on its last dream and we needed bigger so we finally took the plunge and got us our new car.
August:: For my dads birthday we got him tickets to a bees game and so we left the boys again for a quick weekend get away and the whole family went to the game. (we missed two of our favorites who live in Virginia! We thought of ya!) It was a pretty close game but the best part was the fireworks at the end. Salt lake knows how to do fireworks, made ours look so puny!
And here we are in September. First weekend my mom was brave and took me and the two boys out to the swiss days in midway this year. Hubs had to work sadly but we are so going next year! Swiss days was awesome. Just the amount of talented people in crazy. Soo many booths, food and just crazy people. The boys did pretty awesome given the fact they had to drive two hours and wander around a boring to them craft fair! It was so worth going though! Then just last weekend we went out to the zoo and state fair and it was pretty good. The boys loved the zoo and the new exhibits are awesome. but then again i just love zoos! at the state fair hubs took the boys down the huge yellow slide, needless to say they LOVED it. Its going to have to be our tradition of going down the slide every year!
Also my brother and wife finally had their baby boy last week! He is such a doll and i'm so glad to be an aunt again. Welcome to the family Gavin and hopefully one of the days we can make it to Virginia and visit and meet him properly!
Then on Saturday me and hubby get to head to vegas for nearly a week for "work" deal for the Mine Expo and i'm so excited.! We leave Saturday and we'll be back the following Thursday! I'm not excited about leaving the boys again but excited to get away and be able to squeeze in a few shows while we are down there. Blue man Group and Penn & Teller here we come!
