A fun filled weekend!

WHAT COULD POSSIBLE BE IN AUNT KRISTEN'S TUMMY????? Friday night we hung out with Scott, Kristen, Holly, and Ricky. We had some pizza and just lounged around. Very relaxing, cheap weekend (my fav. kind). Brody gets a little bold with Kristen and is always lifting her shirt to find her belly button. This time while trying to find it, I think he was a little surprised with what he found! Kristen is 6 months prego, but has a perfectly round cute belly. Brody just loves, loves her belly now more than ever.
Saturday my nephew, Race Rogers, got baptised out in Phoenix. It was a great program with great catered food to follow. We ate outside of the church at about 6:00 and it was freezing! I am so, so excited it has finally decided to cool down and am very excited for the Holidays right around the corner.

The whole Rick Rogers crew with newly baptised Race in the middle.

Steve, Rick, Race, and Kristi's dad all posing.

Race got a great gift homemade from Grandma Ellen and Grandpa Steve. It is Book of Mormon figurines special ordered with their stories on note cards on the side. Everyone loved it.

Day at the CIRCUS

So ready for some circus fun...
Hanging out with dad sucking on sunflower seeds...
No idea who these kids are, but hey Jeff was the one with the camera...
Brody got the chance to go with his cousins to the Circus in Gilbert recently. Elephants, acrobats, all types of fun things to look at! The pictures are still frames from video Jeff shot while there. The videos wouldn't upload, so pictures are the next best thing.

What has been happening September 1-15

Sprinkler FUN!!!

Brody loved playing out in the yard in the sprinklers and was so sad when it was time to go inside.
Cousin Kade pushing Brody. Mt. View (of course) shut out Highland. :(
At the beginning of the month we went to the Highland-Mt. View game. It was a blast, but way too hot for night time. We sat on Mt. View side to root on Emily Rogers. She is the cutest pommie there! Brody seemed so fascinated with her! Kayla Newman's 12th Birthday!!!

Gold Canyon Candle Party

My cute sister-in-law (Summer Jobe) sells Gold Canyon Candles and I am having my first "host" party. Tuesday September 23rd 6:30-8:00 @ my sister, Alisha Newman's house. I would love for anyone to come and eat some goodies and see what smells Gold Canyon has to offer for the Holiday Season. Alisha's address is 18463 E. Cattle Dr. Queen Creek 85242. She has such a cute home and has decorated her kids bedrooms so cute it is worth it to come and check them out!

Ryan on his mission

My little brother Ryan studying hard in the Utah MTC:

Ryan has officially shipped out from the MTC in Utah to Washington D.C. He seems to be doing very well with the Spanish language and writes to my parents often in Spanish. He gained a whole 15 pounds in the MTC, which is great news! His Type 1 diabetes are under control and his only concern is with the constant bike riding he will be doing. With Type 1 you have to eat a snack if you are working out and constantly control your blood sugar. He reports back to his Doctor in AZ and even though there was a concern about everything when he first went into the MTC, he says that he will watch his blood sugar levels. We are excited for him and are always anxious to hear what is happening in the field.

Ryan with his new mission president and wife:

Ahhh...the graduation is done

Well, the big smarty pants finally did it!!!! I can't even start to explain how excited I am that he is finished with school. NO MORE SCHOOL! Here are just a few pictures from the graduation we got back from last night. I have a video to upload and will post that later, but here are a few moments of the great graduation ceremony. Jeff is now a Doctor of Chiropractic. 8 years of schooling after high school and he is done!

In the crowd of the graduated-there were 108 of them.
Heather helped me with Brody on the sidelines because the ceremony lasted 2 and a half hours.
Derek got to hand Jeff his diploma on stage because he is also a Doctor...very nice of the Prices to come and be a part of the celebration.
Tony, Jeff, and Erik.
Vid and Jeff. Vid is also originally from Gilbert and moved out to Texas to go to school.So, Natalie (in the blue) and I are the only ones in this picture who did not graduate-we always said there's no way we could make it through. I think it is neat that Danielle (in pink) graduated-way to go to her.

A little of this ...a little of that

Brody is finally getting his top two teeth! The poor kid is 14 months and only has two teeth. Because of this the kid does not eat! He hates baby food (which is gentle enough because of the lack of teeth) and can't yet chew all the big kid food. In this picture below you can start to see his two spikes coming through.

On Saturday we had a big party for Steve, Jeff's dad, who turned 57! We love the parties!
I m so very excited to announce that I picked up my very own copy of Breaking Dawn! I am very excited to start the book, but not really sure when that will happen.
I have started to bike ride with my dad every Saturday morning. Holy cow I am amazed at how fast that 58 year old can go. I try so hard to keep up...as you can see I was trying very hard and made an embaressing spill. Affter an hour and a half of full on riding by canals I begged him to turn around. I have been trying to get in my own early morning bike rides so that I am not left in the dust so much. I really would love to get a road bike someday and train for future triathlons. We'll see!
Brody is not too sure about stinky, sweaty mom. The look says it all.
