Labor Day

Labor Day kind of snuck up on us this year so we didn't really have much planned for that weekend. We did some hanging out and just relaxed which was so nice! On Labor Day we thought it would be fun to ride a train so we went to a place called Tiny Town. You can see in all the pictures how tiny the town is, it was really cute and it had a train you could ride around the town. Jake seemed to enjoy the train ride. Here's some pictures from Tiny Town:

We mostly took this picture for my brother-in-law, Scott who is a chiropractor. It even has the doctor in the office with a barbie as the patient

By the train
After Tiny Town we went to Clint and Kara's house (Wesley's brother's family) for a BBQ. The kids and Jake have so much fun together and Jake just adores them. They had made this sand area called Mud World and Jake had to have a part in it. So we stripped him down to his diaper and boy was he in heaven

Let's Play!!!

This was on my friend's Krista and Kenny's blog and I thought it looked fun.Here are the directions:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (It can be a memory with either me or Wesley). It doesn't matter if you knew me/us a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.This is quite fun. I hope everyone I KNOW will participate!! So start thinking hard! Also, when you leave a comment.. you are tagging yourself..so re-post on your own blog so I know whose to go and comment on! :)

Lost Links

So I was changing my template on my blog and loved the way it turned out and then noticed that it erased all of my sidebar information, including all of my family and friends links to their blogs! I don't have anyone's links anywhere else so desperately I went into my internet search history and found a few there, not sure why others weren't there. THen I went to people's blogs that I knew might have the links I needed but I know I've missed a bunch. And I keep finding more in my email but it's been hard to search for them, I've been lucky to find as many as I did. I still notice some that aren't there though. Anyway, if you notice you aren't on the link to the side of my blog, please email it to me b/c I know I missed some but can't find them anywhere and I love reading all of your blogs and keeping in touch. How frustrating... but Wesley said that it's a good thing none of my posts were deleted, true that!
