Manti

The week before Peach Days we went to the Sanpete County Fair! yeehaw. Kyle knows one of the drivers in the derby Friday night, and he keeps telling me how awesome the derby is up there so we HAD to go. We stayed at the Gunnison Inn, and ate at my favorite spot Lotsa Motsa. We had time to kill before the derby so we played around at the Manti Temple. A couple had just gotten married so we loved watching them take a gazillion photos with their family and friends. The brides dress was really pretty as long as her bridesmaid dresses, which always makes it better to watch. We loved the details on this old Temple, Gus wanted in as you can see from the above photos he kept pulling on the door knob trying to open it. 

The derby was 100% better than the WashCo Fair derby. Gus loved every second of it, which makes my life 100% better. Saturday we woke up and drove home the scenic highway 89 way. We drove through many small towns looking for yard sales, and stopped in Panguitch to eat. We wanted Gus to empty some of his energy so we took him to Panguitch High(that looks more like our elementary) to ride his bike around the track. He was in heaven, until it started POURING on us. We made a lot of good memories on this short trip.

Peach Days 2012

This is all I got from Peach Days. The parade was awesome, 80 something floats were in it. My mom was in it with the VW lovers of Hurricane. She piled a lot of the grandkids in so when they drove by we gave Gus to them. My favorite was the Western Legacy Farm (Iverson's). They are doing a Sleepy Hollow Halloween theme at their ranch. They even had the headless horseman, I am so glad we don't have to drive to Stahlei's in Washington to get our corn mazin on! Funny side note, after the parade Kyle and I were walking down the street to go home, and the headless horseman pulled his horse in front of us so I couldn't go around. Kyle (of course) goes behind all of the spectators so I am left with the stroller on the street with this creepy headless guy blocking me off so I can't move. Kyle is getting mad and telling me to get away, he was thinking this guy didn't know how to handle the horse. So I am backing up trying to get away from this creepy guy when we hear the headless horseman go "Kyle." Then we realized it was Kelby Iverson, Kyle has had many scares with horses so he was freaked out that the horse was going to hurt us... Lol

Sedated Gus

I realized I never documented Gus' sedation. His pediatrician thought he had a heart murmur so she requested he have an ultrasound of his heart. Little did we know it was a sedated ultrasound. It was so sad seeing him loopy like that. Well to our relief they found no heart murmur so $2,000.00 down the drain. 

Instagram Update

Trying to teach Gus how to clean. Child Labor

We have had some really nice rainstorms the past couple of months.

This is Gus' way of hide and seek. He hides his head then says, Ma Ma Ma Ma, then I reply where is Gus has anyone seen my baby Gus?

We had a tornado warning one day. These clouds were crazy fast.

Gus always put Kyle's helmet and gloves on. We finally bought him his own bike, helmet, and gloves. He still prefers Kyle's though.

The neighborhood gang, minus a few. The Sant's brought over creamsicles so we all got to enjoy them.

Kyle was teaching Gus how to treat the leather on his favorite pair of shoes. Mocassins.

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Ballard. Gus had fun listening to Grandpa. Grandpa even let Gus hold his knife that was once his Dad's (Afton).

Gus yells Gracie Sants name numerous times when we are outside. If she is outside she will tell her mom I think Gus wants to play with me. She is such a cute little Girl!

Gus is a climber. We found him on the windowsill one day...

The cousins came over one Sunday and they all climbed the tree. Our trees are perfect for climbing.

After we visited Gma and Gpa we went to eat at the Flying Monkey, then we rode the shuttle into the park because it was stormy and not 110 degrees!

This little boy while I was in the shower came to me with his diaper off and said shawr (shower in his language). I swear I can't do anything alone.

We have had peaches GALORE (thanks Gma Linie and Ann & Alan)

One of our crazy thunderstorms. This one brought hail.

Gus on his new strider one night. Aunt Shelley saw them and tracked them down like paparazzi. She took pictures the entire block ride.

Another peach GALORE picture. This time we made jam with them.

I was in the shower one night and I came out to find Gus sitting on our bed with books reading to himself.  One of the books was the toddler handbook, I hope he learned lots...

Kyle does pushups every night and this is Gus trying to copy his moves. Once again climbing the walls.

Thursday we live for the garbage truck. He was watching so intently while biting his fingernails. Anything better in life?

Nicholas had his first Freshman football game. Gus absolutely loves football and basketball, well any sport. We drove to Cedar to watch it. Nick did so well!

After the game Kyle taught Gus how to sprint. It was pretty hilarious to watch Gus, almost laying on the track trying to sprint.

Gus Is Going To Be A...

Gus' New Pool Trick

We were trying to teach the little tike how to dive, but this is his new trick. A FLIP!!

Demo Derby 2012

Rowdy at SPC did another car in the demo derby, so we went to support him. It was forever long, but luckily it was windy so it wasn't 110 degrees. Gus loved when they crashed into each other, and to this day he will say "Mom, cars, boom, hot" translation: The cars hit each other really hard and a couple started on fire so they were hot.
