August 26

First day of school!  Karen and I both come all day on the first day, and by 4:00 I. WAS. EXHAUSTED.  It was so fun to meet all of our new students (and see old students from last year that looked like they'd grown a full foot this summer)!  Here's to my second year!

August 25

So, after all our hard work this summer, our water damage is back.  It took a few weeks to show it's ugly face after we had painted, but it's back.  And I'm so sick of this room I could puke.  Can't anything ever go right with it!?

August 24

We went to visit my great aunt Ellen today and this little sweety just snuggled up close to me the whole time. She was so calm and nice.  I think I know what kind of dog we'll be getting next.  :)

August 23

All ready for the first day of school.  Whew!

August 22

Just another snippet from our classroom (and my partner.  Love her!).  You'll probably be seeing a lot more of it since I've practically lived at the school lately.

August 21

The baby hummingbirds hatched!  Because the nest is so high up, we've only been able to see their little beaks poking up out of the nest.  We saw the mom feeding them, but there is really no way to get a picture of it.  She can sense when I have my camera out (even when I'm in the house!) and flutters away FAST.

August 20

My imitation of Scout on the way home from school.  I've been at the school ALL DAY for the past few days.  Our classroom is slowly coming together.  

August 19

The quilt I made for Big Dave's birthday.  It has pictures of Dave's Dad when he was younger and then pictures of the whole family throughout the years.  It was such a fun project for summer!

August 18

I FINALLY got around to finishing the headboard.  I'm DONE!

August 17

We took Scout to the beach for the first time today.  I was so afraid that he would be afraid of the water because he hates baths, but he didn't even wait to sprint into the lake.  Win.

August 16

We spent the day tubing at Bear Lake with Dave's family.  It was such a great day!

August 15

Karen and I FINALLY got to move into our room today!  We found out a few days ago that we won't be out in a portable!  We're on the other side of the building, but we're inside!  Woot!  :)

August 14

Mom and Dad's new bed set came today.  Brewer enjoys being king of the bed.

August 13

Scout trying to play with both of his toys at the same time.  It was quite fun to watch.

August 12

Getting ready to go back to school.  Thanks so much for the books Jolynn!

August 11

We're kind of obsessed with our hummingbird nest over here.  I lovingly labeled the photo so you can better see the nest.  Pretty sure you wouldn't have found it otherwise.  Is that not the coolest thing ever, or do I just not have enough going on?

August 10

Roasting s'mores at my parents house.  Summer is going to be over before we know it!

August 9

Had too much fun at the fair with Grandpa, Grandma and Mom today.  Just look at that smile on my Grandpa's face while looking at the "Worlds Smallest Horse."  

August 8

Almost done with the quilt I'm making for Dave's dad.  I'm really getting into this quilting business.  I know I'm not expert, but I'm pretty proud of it so far.  

August 7

DONE painting!  I seriously love it so much!  Painting is so much work, but the results are priceless.  Thanks for your help Jolynn!  What do you think?

August 6

We found a hummingbird nest on our front porch.  It's teeny tiny and those little eggs are so adorable!  We're trying to stay away from it so we don't scare the momma hummingbird away, but I just couldn't resist taking at least one photo.

August 5

Room progress.  New light and halfway done painting!

August 4

Look what started to bloom in my yard this morning.  Those blooms are bigger than my hands.  I can't believe a flower like this can survive in Utah!  It looks like something you'd see in Hawaii or something.

August 3

I love this photo of Scout and Brew.    

August 2

Quilt making with Mom.  Here's her quilt that she's making for the condo.  Isn't it beautiful?!

August 1

Before you even think it, I know.  I take too many pictures of my dog.  You would too if he was yours.  Also, anyone else hate August?  It's seriously the lamest month ever.

July 31

This is what pretty much every night this week has consisted of.  We're both still sick with a nasty cold/cough so it's been the laziest week ever.  I've watched more episodes of Scrubs than I'd like to admit.

July 30

Action shot of Scout.  This is what the majority of the billions of pictures I have of him look like.

July 29

I was so excited when I got this little envelope in the mail today!  It's a teeny tiny envelope with a letter from Megan!  Isn't it adorable!?  She's doing really well in the MTC.  She's already halfway done!  It's gone by so fast.

July 28

Me being a sicky pants on the couch ALL DAY LONG.  I've got a super fun sinus headache/cough/congestion party going on.  It's been pretty fun you guys.  Scout made sure to keep me company all day though.

July 27

Pretty flowers at the cabin.
