Look ma, no eyes! 
Or maybe this one!!
So...it's been a busy month and a half. I can't believe it's September already! Quick catch up on things. Dan's sister and her family came down for a visit in mid-August. They love this area so much they're thinking about moving down here.
Am turned 17 on August 18th. Dan had a birthday on the 27th, Matt (brother-in-law) on the 29th, so we had a combined shindig for them. Wow, wait...seventeen!! Doesn't seem that long ago that I was 17 and starting my senior year. My how time flies. Sniff, sniff...
Am started her senior year at Alta High School. She's excited, we're excited...and sad at the same time. Excited to see her mulling over her choices for after high school colleges. She'll probably do UVU or SLCC for a year or two afterwards, then off to....somewhere. This is where our first trip to Pullman, Washington comes in. We went up there the first weekend in September to see the Cougs play football. At least it was fabulous weather. Cougs lost to Cal 66 to (gulp) 3. Biggest loss in WSU history. Ouch!! By halftime, half the stands had emptied. It was sad, but we had a great time!
Dan hadn't been there for 15 years, so he got to see how time had changed the whole area. 
Am and her friend at her very small bash!
Dan and Matt's cake. Melissa had it made. The boys loved it.
Martin stadium pre-game. Empty stands...looks close to this at half-time of the game.
Dan made us. Am was blushing. The two guys were super nice.
Dan's old frat house. The Phi Delta Gamma fraternity. Dan's picture is still inside with the 86-87 class. We did get to tour the inside. Definately full of boys!! I say boys, because they look too young to be in college! I can't believe how young college kids look now.
Dan worked here at one point during his 4 and a half year stint of living in this area. Still there, although we didn't go inside.
Dan's old dorm room. He lived on the top floor pre-frat house.
Future student???? I must say, I am definately the mother of a teenager girl. She wants to go to school up there because of all the 'hot' guys! She couldn't help but call her friend, Brit, who's equally boy crazy and tell her of all the guys!Here is the web page for updates on LaDee's son Kenner. If anyone needs a prayer, it's this little guy! He's proving to be one tough little fella!

Yes, he's home! It was an enjoyable first few days. Lots of sleeping in and lounging. Now it's back to the work grind. This picture was taken his first morning back. I was busy making banana walnut pancakes, one of his faves. It's such a relief to have him home!! They finished at around 110,000 pounds this year. Sounds good to me, but I think that Dan wanted to do more. We had our first ultra sound on Wednesday afternoon. Everything came out ok after our little 'scare'. We were able to see the baby's heartbeat and see that everything is normal. Dan was a bit taken back by the whole process and we both got a little emotional at the sight of our little 'bean'. Pretty exciting. I think that it finally sunk in at that point that I AM pregnant and we ARE going to have a baby. I tease Ambree that we'll have a newborn at her high school graduation next spring. Something a little wierd to think about. Welcome home babe!! I love you more than words can even begin to say. Every single minute spent with you is the most fabulous minute of my life!
