We went to Cedar the week after Labor Day to check out the Nixon's new boat. The weather was great, and Tony is so close to mastering his flip. I think I have 5-7 videos of him falling on his face like that...but he is relentless.
A good friend of mine invited me to A Time Out For Women in Logan and I am SO HAPPY that I went. With the past year being as crazy as it has been - between having a baby, leaving great friends to move to a new place, having a home still in Boise, adjusting to being a SAHM, adjusting to Utah again :), and the list goes on...it's been quite the stressful past year. This was just what I needed. The speakers were amazing, and I felt more than once that they were speaking just to me. I took my camera with all the intentions of snapping a ton of pics, but this is all I walked away with (oh and a picture of Kim taking a picture). Mary Ellen Edmunds is in the picture with us. She was one of the many great speakers we heard that day. She is hilarious. Anyone that can go to this conference, LDS or not, I strongly recommend.
And did I mention my "hot" friends that invited me along and made me feel right at home...Kim #1, Kim #2, and Tracey - thanks for the great weekend!
And of course. Thanks to Sid for babysitting pretty much all weekend so that I could take this much needed break.

Sids dad called us a couple weeks back and asked us if we could babysit their newest addition to the family for about a week. It was an interesting week! Avery had an different relationship with him than I expected. Pretty much, love-hate. She loved him when he was outside on the other side of the sliding glass door...but anytime he was around her, he was so excited he would jump and try to lick her face - which she wasn't too happy about. Our neighbors don't miss his nightly routine of howling (they told us so :) but we did have fun with him and were glad to help! (I stole this pic from Annie's blog - thanks Annie!)Sid, Tony, Brad, Shane, Annie and I went to the BASH last weekend. It was CRAZY! The boys ran and got all the free stuff while Annie, Sid and I people watched. We saw some interesting things...and heard some interesting music, but it was still a blast. (thanks for babysitting Angie!!)
Check out Sid's perma sunglasses. And that's with 70 SPF!
So! I think that's pretty much the highlights of the past month. Avery is growing and changing daily it seems this past month. She understands so much more. Her newest tricks are spinning in circles, knuckles and folding her arms (being reverent). She is so much fun. Heres a few pictures recapping the month.
