AUGUST in Pictures

August, you happened so long ago I forget what we even did. I know we went to a couple of movies, Turbo and Despicable Me 2 I believe. We went on lots of cool car (my moms vw bug) rides, we went to sweet baby lola's baby blessing, then to Gma and Gpa Ballards Anniversary party. She wasn't there she ended up in the hospital after a fall. Gus got a haircut. We went to Kolob for FHE and went fishing. There must have been a fire somewhere because we got to watch a helicopter come and get water out of the lake a couple of times. While the boys fished, Oliver and I went running. Kyle and I did some long training runs for the st. george marathon...

July in picture form

July went by too quickly. The first part of the month we were in Cambria, then for the 24th of July my mom rented a huge waterslide. Gus and I went down it a million times. Kyle and I went on our first date on 7/7/01 so we have been together for 12 years. July brings marathon training for me and Kyle hit 6,000 miles on his bike this month. I went to Lindsey Hurst's house for a girls night out where we talked and ate yummy treats. I am the beehive advisor and we took the girls to do baptisms for the dead in July. Gus got new nursery teachers so we took his old nursery teachers a card that read thanks for being such a magical nursery teacher and we gave them mallow magic. He asks for his other nursery teachers every week. We met my sisters at quail lake for an afternoon of sun and water. Mama Linie took us to Despicable Me 2 when Rash got home from Italy. We had oodles and oodles of fun this month.

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.
