Labor Day Adventure

For Labor Day we were able to go with Brett's mom down to Utah for the blessing of his sister's new little baby. On Friday we drove down and dropped off Brett's mom at his sister in Salt Lake and then headed down to Provo to see my brother and my cousin Annette's new little daughter Eleanor. We spent the night with my brother then headed back north for the blessing. We camped out in his room, talked, relived old memories, and laughed like crazy.

On our way north Brett was insistent that we stop and go the Salt Lake temple. So glad he did! I didn't feel very well but it was so beautiful and stunning and I am so happy we went despite how I was feeling.

Here are a few of the pictures from Tiffany's blessing! What a beautiful little baby girl!

Little Miss Haylie had her birthday this week. She was bummed that we wouldn't be there to celebrate her birthday but we hope she had a great day! Love you Haylie!

 Mikkel's family that was able to come to the blessing

Welcome to the world you precious girl! I wish I would have gotten more pictures of everyone but I was just not feeling up to it. Next time!!

Also... Just had to share this. I have one of the cutest nephews ever!! Totally brainwashed by his father- this is how they decorated front lawn this fall.. 

Haha love it! 

Last year he went in the back yard and made himself a full football field with a big  U in the middle! Too stinkin cute!! 

School Time again!

And- once again we have the start of a new school year. Brett couldn't be happier to be back in school and I cant be happier to have this semester over with!

No matter how excited I am for graduation in December this semester is shaping up to be one awesome semester for me, I am taking three law classes- which I am loving!- I am also taking a cinema class which I am really enjoying (who wouldn't enjoy an assignment to watch and research aka- watch all the YouTube blogs and the movie over and over- the Hobbit and getting to watch/learn about star wars in class!) It. Is. Awesome.

The other exciting thing about this semester is the opportunity that I have to intern for Senator Mike Crapo in his Boise office. I am really excited about the experience and about all that I can learn and all the ways that I can grow this semester professionally and not just educationally.

Brett is in for a rough semester but is excited to actually use the things that he has been learning over the past few years. After the summer and all of the work that he did with hardly any play or break he is very ready to be able to feel productive again and to be back in the air conditioning.

Also... He is stoked about fall not only to go back to school but because fall means COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!! One of his favorite things ever- especially anything Boise State Football. We are excited and trilled about all that we have going on this fall and all the changes and new adventures that is will bring to our family.
