Gared and Jessica's wedding

 Brandin's little brother Gared got married this past weekend. We decided to drive there (being cheap and not paying to fly) Over the course of 5 days we drive 52 1/2 hours. blegh. It was awful! But so nice because we were able to be there for the wedding. It is officially the last wedding in Brandins family. We went up through grand junction so we were able to visit friends and family there on our way to the wedding in utah.

Carter goes to Kindergarten

 My baby is in school! How crazy is that?!? Carter started kindergarten today (8/24/15) and was so excited and nervous. Brandin promised Carter a toy of his choosing if Carter would go to class without hanging on me or him. Carter did great! We are now 3 hours in and the principal hasn't called me yet, so I am feeling good! ha ha. We got there almost an hour before school started because I was told it would be crazy, and boy was it! We were lucky enough to get a parking spot, but those that showed up 10 min after us did not. Now tomorrow we see if Carter can handle the bus!

Carter's class was on Keith facebook page, so I got a glimpse of what was going in this morning.

Carter's Transformer Birthday Party

 My little boy turned 6! how did that happen? Pretty sure he should still be 3. ha ha. This year Carter decided on Transformers for his party, so I got to pinteresting.  (not a word, but it should be) Thankfully there are a lot of free printables online, which makes my life easier. We just moved here 3 months ago, and know pretty much no one, so we invited all of the kids in Carter's primary class and their families. I had a couple rsvp's, but by the end we had a few more people than I had anticipated, (almost 40 including all of the kids) which was awesome! Even though these people barely know us, they sacrificed their Sat and bought my child a toy and came and hung out for a couple hours. It was so much fun!

 Since it is still warm here, Brandin made an "autobot" wash for the kids to run through.

Beach fun!

 We went with the Tanners to the beach for the day! So much fun, and totally worth the hour drive. We went to a beach that allows you to drive right up to the beach, and have your car there so you don't have to haul coolers or anything in. So easy! Makes the beach that much more fun! We even brought Piper along, although she was content hanging out in the shade of the car. ha ha.
