State Fair

Seriously ENORMOUS bull: Big Red. We had a hard time getting a good picture with the front end...

Brock and I decided that we wanted to make it a family tradition to go to the fair every year. We wanted to do that, because we thought Dane would LOVE looking at all the animals. We were right. We had such a great time, and were even blessed with the company of my dear friend Liz, and her husband Michael (who we are still getting to know, but who must be equally amazing since he snagged Lizzy).

Dane loves to "wok, wok" now that he is a big boy. I just love this pic!

Dane wanted to touch all the animals, though he was a little unsure about them. Inquisitive, yet cautious.
Love him!

Lizzy and Michael with Daner. They'll be such great parents to their own little boy who will be coming in less than a month! Love having friends for Dane!

I saw this huge tractor on our way out of the fair, and just had to get a picture of Dane sitting in the wheel. He was not really sure what he thought about that idea at first, but we finally scored a DARLING picture of him. (After, may I add, the huge crowd gathered around to watch the whole production.)
The first picture he's signing "Please" (he wanted to get down). The second pic, he thought he'd just try and take matters into his own hands. The third one he's finally starting to realize it's kinda cool. Then finally, VICTORY!!! Isn't that the cutest picture ever?!?

Walking Wednesday's

We have wonderful friends. Truly one of life's greatest blessings.

When Brock and I first got married we lived in Sugarhouse (endearingly referred to as "the Sugarhood"). I was so worried about not having any friends in our new ward, but Heavenly Father loves me, and we became friends with some amazing people. Four of these wonderful friends (as mentioned above) just happen to be Tyson & Lynds, and Creede & Mi'chelle. We spent quite a bit of time with these two couples especially (the Fitch's and the Locke's.) Together we became ALF. We have all now moved from the joy that was the Forest Dale Ward, but we still make sure to get together once a month (it usually happens) and now every Wednesday, Lynds, Sophia, Libbie, Mi'chelle, Arrington, Dane and I get together and go walking--hence, Walking Wednesday's.

Arri and Libbie giving loves--Oh so cute!!!

I just love Soph's face:)

We have so many other wonderful friends, and count ourselves blessed to share our lives with each of you.
