September already?

August was quite a month for us, full of the good, the bad and the ugly. Good to celebrate Brandon's birthday, bad for him to take national boards on his birthday and the day after. Good to have the Hansen family come visit, bad that Brandon was studying for finals that week. Good that he finally got a break after finals, but it was ugly, sticky, hot the whole month. August is possitively the worst month to be in Memphis. We're convinced that people must have settled here in the winter.


And as luck would have it, the hottest week was the one that the Hansen's came to play. We had a great time though! We got water guns and a sprinkler toy and the cousins were just so excited to play together that we had fun anyway.





















Hailey and Tanner are getting to be good buddies. Just Hailey laughing makes Tanner laugh too. Hailey went to a birthday party where she got to pick out a tatoo. Notice the lovely rose she's sportin' on her arm. It was still there a week later and a little girl tried to bite it clean off her arm. I was sure to scrub it off with baby oil the next day.






Tanner found his toes; an exciting discovery.













We celebrated our 4 year anniversary the beginning of September. I made some bread in our bread maker the day before so we could use it for French toast in the morning. The bread fell in on top so when it was sliced it ended up looking like this:
Aaaaawww, look! It's temple toast for our anniversary -- for cute!

We went bowling that day. Hailey's first time! She liked it, but . . .


She liked the merry-go-round better. Go figure.




Isn't he cute! Tanner just brightens my day! When I feel fed up he just smiles at me and I remember why we had kids.




Our biggest kid got to go to a BYU game with some friends last weekend. Their seats were on the first row right beind BYU's bench. Pretty cool! The Cougars lost unfortunatly (Brandon keeps reminding himself that it is a rebuilding year) but it was a good game and worth the trip to see his team. And I got to buy some decorations, so in a way, everybody wins.


We finally learned how to post videos. Here are two of our favorites. Enjoy!
