Another month has passed....

Wow--summer is over already!! We've had another busy four weeks and I can't believe my baby will be 9 months tomorrow!!!

Well the second weekend in August, my old college roomate came to SLC with her two kiddos (and mom) for a visit so we hit up the zoo. It was actually a pretty cool day for August. I couldn't believe Sarah had never been to the SLC zoo!!

The only way we can get Carter's hair this way is with sunscreen! (and lots of it!!)

It was a very busy day at the zoo! It was this babies first birthday! They even gave her cake and presents!!

The mommies and their babies (sorry Pipi's head got cut out of the shot). Blame Hubby

Mr. Man loves the zoo

The next day Sarah, Jota, Holly, and I all met up at Sugarhouse Park for some lunch and some good company. I can't believe it has been 10 years since we all met!!!

sorry can't get the pic to turn

Here's the 3 babies (minus Bridger). You would never guess that Carter and Zoey (on the left) are four months apart or that Zoey and Pipi (right) are only 1 week apart!

A few weeks ago we decided that Mr. Man has outgrown his baby tub and since he can sit on his own we decided to let him take baths in the big tub. He LOVES it!!! He loves splashing around and being able to move around too. He is such a water baby!!

We got a new vacuum and Mr. Man decided he needed to see what was in the box!

Last weekend, Jeff (Jason's brother) came to SLC for a visit! What a crazy busy weekend we had. The siblings (Jamie, Jeff, Jason, and Alex) all got to go golfing. We went swimming, watched CU vs CSU, went to the Children's Museum, did some bbqing and hung out.

Carter loved throwing the rings and having Elle go get them. He watched her the whole time

Carter couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of Elle. She is so sweet to him too!

On Monday (Labor Day), everyone except Amanda and Maddi went to the Children's Museum. All the kids seem to have a blast--including Carter!

They had all these little "cars" around to play with. They were the perfect size for Carter

Mr. Man had soo much fun!!

What another busy month!! Carter finally got his first tooth about a week ago (thank goodness!) He was being a little cranky, which is not like him at all. He has started pulling up on EVERYTHING and wants to be wherever we are! He is such a fun kid.

Next week I have my 1/2 marathon in Cedar City and I am pretty nervous. I never imagined that I would ever be doing something like this. I guess you really can do anything you put your mind to.

Than the week after the race Jason's long time buddy Steve is getting married, than Brady comes home from his mission, than my parents will be here for LDS conference, than we go to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta with Jeff and Alyssa.

When does life slow down????
