fall is here?

so mornings are cold, evening are nice, football season has been upon us for a few weeks now, it's mid-september - and it's 100 degrees outside.  yes it changes 40 degrees in the 24 hours that we're given in the day... i'm not complaining, and it's a great time of the year anyway.  the mornings and most evenings it feels great.  jorel and i have gone to a couple of football games this season, and he seems to be getting into them more and more, actually cheering and kind of watching some of the game.  it's really fun to watch him, even though he doesn't really know what's going on.  anyway, we've definitely been enjoying the outdoors including our friday work activities.  we've done kolob, toquerville falls, and kanarraville falls this last month.  too bad jorel doesn't come along, although i don't think he would be ready for these ones anyway! so now i'll post some pics... i suppose, i don't really have much else to talk about!
the pics in order:
1. jorel just being funny in his baseball helmet

time flies...

i really don't feel like a month has already gone by since i last updated!

it rained on the 8th....

i had a really great weekend starting on the 14th. my sister came into town and we got to play!

sunday i learned how my sister shot houses for their business homeview and we went to see trina. we also got to meet her new little pups. jorel was super interested...

monday we went up north and stayed with my cousin and her family who i haven't seen in years! sad to say that they only live about 4 hours away and it's been so long... tuesday we rode segways and went to the best dave matthews band concert and then headed back wednesday. my sissy left thursday and i went back to work. it went by too fast as usual. and i stole these pictures from my sister:

we had some really great thunderstorms this month too - which has kept it not a million degrees everyday, but has also made it so humid all summer... and really thats about all that is exciting that happened in the last month... yeah me...

summer fun ♥

swim :)

WATERMELON! (takes after me)

a blanket i made for a friends brand new Mason baby (and the chicks too)

i couldn't tell who was having more fun, grandpa or the babe

and on my birthday we shot off fireworks and i was lame and burned my thumb... 26!

recent happenings through pictures

some of these pictures are a little bit older, but i thought they were still worth sharing

jorel with his mater and his scab in the middle of his head

helping grandma with yard work

ginger being lazy

jumping on the trampoline with sprinklers

more baseball

hiking in new harmony

in his "dancing shoes"

tender moments with grandma

sweaty feet

when i got back from the camping trip, jorel had these scabs on the bottom of his feet. it almost looked like he had been running around on really hot cement. so i took him into the doctor to get them checked out - thought maybe it could be athletes foot also because he wears shoes ALL day some days and doesn't get a breath. but the doctor that we saw said that unfortunately that he just has really sweaty feet! i mean i kind of knew this, i mean, it does kind of run in the family, but didn't realize that they were THAT sweaty! the poor dear... he doesn't complain about it much, and we just need to keep powder in his socks and shoes and lotion at night. sometimes they seem like they hurt, but he doesn't complain too much... he's too busy running around everywhere to stop and worry about it. i'll have to get a picture of his poor little feet and post it a little bit later

the 4th

hope everyone had a good holiday weekend, and it was better than ours.... Although we were able to play on the fourth with some good friends, leading up to that even wasn't so much joy - see post below ): - and i was hoping very much to get out of town that weekend to see my pregnant sissy (!!!) but i guess that will have to wait. At least we had something to do monday night because of our great friends. we crashed their neighborhood cookout and it was nice to visit with some new people. we even had a great view of the city fireworks. so thanks to friends for making it a good weekend after all (: Oh and now i'm really craving disneyland! (and their freaking awesome fireworks... NOT pictured) and i'm sure that jorel is too. who is feeling better by the way and got a new haircut yesterday (just another shorter one to keep him cool) he got a little beat up hanging out with his super awesome friend but still followed him around like a puppy dog... they are already such boys, i can't imagine what it'll be like when they're older! (right jess?) haha Love those boys :) we also went to see toy story 3 with them on opening night - so fun!

well....

happy birthday month to me,

i had to stay home from work today cause jorel ran a really high fever yesterday and i was puking...

and we're not quite feeling better yet
