August is normally pretty busy in our family. We have 4 birthdays, 2 anniversaries, and then there's back to school preparations. Well, this year was double-time. At the beginning of August we drove to Boise for Chris' farewell. It was so much fun to see our family and Chris did a great job! On the 18th Chris flew into Salt Lake, we picked him up, had lunch, and dropped him off at the MTC. Can I just say I LOVE the new drive through drop off? Before there was so much crying and people herding. This is so much quicker, like a band-aid. Anyway, that night we drove up to my parent's house for Kaitlyn's real birthday. She even had a princess cake (which I made). She loved it! The next morning, my parents dropped us off at the airport and we flew to Sacramento, California. I hate flying. It makes me motion sick. Having a 1 year old bouncing around does not help, either. Anyway, we arrived in Sacramento and Grandpa picked us up. We became part of the wedding-decorating party and ensuing festivities. When the Browns do a wedding, it's big. When Cyndi does anything, it's big. When both are combined: monumental. When we got back it was time for Jared's birthday. We went out to dinner and had a fun time with family. Jared especially likes his new board game, Small World. Finally, Jared started his last (hopefully) first day of Fall Semester; and Kaitlyn cut 4 new teeth (bringing the total to 9). Here's to a wonderful, but less hectic, September.
