Oktoberfest 2009!

Nixon's Blessing

It was an eventful weekend! We spent saturday with the Wybrow's up at Oktoberfest. The kids danced the "Chicken Dance" with Oma and we ate alot of bratwurst with saurkraut. Its an annual tradition and we have so much fun.
Sunday we had the blessing. Micah's mom made a very beautiful blessing outfit for Nixon and we had alot of family and friends come and support us. I am truly blessed to have such a great husband and children. I am so thankful everyday for what I have.

Yellowstone

My parents invited Micah and I and the kids to Yellowstone for the weekend. The girls absolutely loved getting away and especially swimming any time they wanted. The weather was perfect. I don't know what it is though, every time I go to Yellowstone, I get sunburned so easily and quickly, maybe its because we are higher in elevation and so we are closer to the sun? Anyway, it was alot of fun and when the kids have a great time and don't want to leave, then I know it was well worth it.

August came and went

As expected, August came and went too fast. It was a great month. We welcomed another niece to the Wybrow family, Jette. She is so sweet, as most girls are when they are born. And we are really happy for Hart and Katie.
Nixon, is starting to outgrow that "newborn" phase. He has mellowed out a bit and is now smiling. I constantly have to defend him from his overly-loving sisters or else I am sure something horrible will happen.
Micah started is FINAL semester at the U of U. He only has one class and it is an internship at an elderly home in West Jordan. It should be a easy semester for him.
I am going back to work in 2 weeks, and not looking forward to it. I love the girls I work with, but home is where I prefer to be. I have really enjoyed this time off, it has given me more time to focus on my family and my home. Maybe someday in the near future being a "stay at home mom" will be an option for me.
