The Past Couple Weeks

So two weekends ago we had our nieces Cassie and Emily over for a sleepover as Friday was their brother Landon's birthday party and they were more than willing to leave their house. Elizabeth LOVED it! We got pizza and played the Wii. The girls were playing this dog sports game so naturally Liz was in heaven! She has a little play Wii remote that she used to "help" them win races, she got so excited and so in to it...it was so cute!! We all played a game of bowling in which little Em really surprised us all at the force she could throw the ball! Then we introduced them to Frisbee golf which we stayed up past midnight playing, it was tons of fun!(Lizabeth was of course put to bed before this) And Elizabeth woke up nice and early as not to loose any fun time with the girls! Then when we dropped the girls off Elizabeth immediately started trying to get out of her car seat but I told her we were going to go shopping so she needed to stay in her seat. Then Ketty came to say hi and Liz was done in tg=he car!! She had such a meltdown! She wanted so badly to stay with "Aunt Kee" she was even saying "pees"! It was such a sad sight that of course Ketty had to give in and take her, and the moment she said Liz could stay she was fine and happy! That girl really loves her Aunt Ketty! It was pretty nice too cause we were able to do our grocery shopping without her drama, which saved us at least an hour!
Sunday evening we had a September birthdays night for my family at my parents house with cake and ice cream, that went pretty well!
Then on Monday we took Ketty and Emily with us to get Elizabeth's hair cut by the lady who cuts their hair. She was really good! We totally lucked out that she just happened to have a doggie calender and even a doggie cape! Elizabeth did really well to just sit there and let her do her thing! We did bangs and cut her hair in an "A" line bob, it's absolutely adorable!! I love it!! Then we went back to their house and Ketty so kindly fed us dinner!

This past weekend we went up to Logan for the BYU vs USU football game on Friday then stayed the weekend to watch and listen to General Conference. The game would have been a lot better if a: BYU had shown up and b: we hadn't gotten stuck in front of the world's two rudest old men ever, who eventually we couldn't take anymore of and left with about 5 minutes left in the game. I was proud my Aggies have improved so much and did quite well, but on the other hand disappointed in my Cougars who really didn't seem to have anything put together. Saturday morning after a very nice breakfast made for us by Tony's parents Tony and I went to the USU Bookstore and got game day shirts for all three of us, but that's pretty much all that was worth it. Then we went to Gossners of course and got more flavored milk boxes and cheese.
When we got back we all loaded into my parents Pilot and took a drive up to Bear Lake for Le Baus famous Raspberry shakes except me of course I got a chocolate shake, we came back down through Preston and the leaves were a bit more colorful there. After a yummy dinner by my parents we all watched "No Reservations" in my parents Motorhome and then called it a day. Sunday my parents did breakfast then we all watched Conference there as well. Then after the session we loaded up and headed out with my parents, and spent the evening with them. When we got home Lizabeth was already asleep so we put her in bed and got out the Halloween boxes and decorated and for some reason I thoroughly enjoyed it this year! Maybe it's because I'm not in the middle of a construction zone this year! All in all it was such a great weekend!
