It was raining one morning when I woke up.....so....I woke the boys up and put their shoes on them.  I told them to come outside in their pajamas.  David was a willing guinea pig - Cade refused to come out in his pajamas.  So...after Cade got dressed we all went outside (I was still in pajamas!)  and we splashed in the puddles.  Well....kind of.....we couldn't find many puddles and the boys were so cold we didn't last very long.  I'm glad we played in the rain, though.  It sure made a cold drizzly hot chocolate morning in August a lot more bearable!

They made me Captain of the H.M.S. Pinafore for the night backstage. The cast had a lot of fun dressing me up in Captain hats, Russian Captain hats, and sailor hats.  I really enjoyed playing dress up and meeting lots of fascinating new people.  I got detailed history lessons from a history professor about Algeria (loved that!)  - nonstop comedic laughs from the members of a comedy troupe - stories from someone who worked in an orphanage in Mozambique - stories from Kindergarten and Middle School math teachers- lots of classical music conversations with my 3 new gay friends - stories from moms about our crazy kids -  the inside scoop from the tech booth - and plenty of fun rides in the elevator up to the 8th floor to use the bathroom.  Even though I am terribly introverted - I still really find it refreshing to meet new people and love to listen to all the interesting things people have to say.  Yay for people!

Oh dear...I let him off his leash.  Watch out - there is a Cade Cannon on the loose.  :)

One of my favorite memories from my childhood was going to Seattle with my family, looking at where my mom grew up, and getting on a big hill and rolling down it.  We have a grassy area by the trail by our house, and while it isn't really a "big" hill - it is sufficient for our needs.  The boys love to run and play and roll down the sloping grass area.  It has finally cooled off enough to go outside and do so.  (I'm a wimp, I know - I don't like it too hot or too cold.)

This is our God Milk Snapshot from Radio Disney Days at the Gallivan Center.  (Bad hair day for all three of us- hence the hats -and - David obviously ate something yummy for breakfast and smeared it all over his shorts before we left......)We had a fun day in downtown SLC.  Free creamies and games - shopping at the Gateway - waltzing through temple square -hanging out at the Gallivan Center - lunch at our favorite Quiznos (before the hep scare) -  I'm almost ready to move downtown.

 The boys favorite part of the Davis County Fair was marching and waving and smiling with beauty queens. The Davis County Royalty from the Miss Davis Pageant had a musical instrument parade with all the kids.  This really was their favorite part.

Ah the brotherly love and friendly fair basketball competition.  Even though neither one made a basket they enjoyed themselves.  That is the name of the game.....for me anyways.

It's a bird....it's a plane...it's a....butterfly.  My boys made some butterflies at the fair out of these toys.  They were pretty proud of them and asked for their picture.  It is kind of funny they love to look at this blog and see themselves, and now that Cade kind of gets what it is, he often asks and requests me to take pictures of things.    I'm not complaining because as the year progresses I am running out of ideas of things to snap pics of.  Is it December yet?

If you couldn't guess - we had a wile time at the Davis County Fair.  Weber County Fair, Davis County Fair - check - and now we just have to make it to the state fair sometime in the next two weeks - and I think we will have had our fill of fairs.

David really likes to swing.  Whenever I hear him squeal on a swing I think -yes we should get a swingset in our backyard.  And then...reality hits and I go mow my yard and see at least four snakes....and then I think again.  Maybe after we have some more people neighbors instead of animal invaders we'll invest in the swingset.

Wow - I am almost a month behind on here.  Forgive me for taking a break from blogs.  I haven't been blogging or checking people's blogs for a while....so I have probably missed a lot.  I'm going to catch mine up (or try to) and then selfish me will catch up with everyone else :)  Here are some pics from Grandma's backyard from our quick trip to IF.  The boys loved playing with Grandma's noodle lightsabers and in her fun backyard.
