We survived...
1. being apart all summer long.
2. the sad goodbyes on Monday morning at 4 a.m.
3. all the trips to and from SLC.
4. 10 weeks not being home in our own house.
5. living with family.
6. the summer's heat.
7. rearranging our office for 2 hours just to move it all back to where we started from.
8. weeding our neglected desert yard.
9. 2 new church callings (Colten just got called as the Young Men's President.)
10. And I survived the first 2 days of school!
On Thursday night we when Colten got home from SLC for the last time we went to the Washington County Fair with my sister and her family. This is a picture of Colten and our nephew Braiden.

Braiden's favorite thing at the fair was of course the tractors.

The following night I got a couple free tickets to the Bull Riding at the fair so Colten and I went a little early and this is a picture of him with some Black Bears in the background. They were pretty cool because the guy with the exhibit had the bears doing all kinds of cool tricks like riding scooters and climbing ladders. It was pretty fun.

The Bull Riding

On Saturday we drove back up north to see our newest niece. Colten's brother and his wife had their second baby girl so we went over to their place to see new Baby Lina. She is adorable and so little.

Another picture of Lina while Colten is holding her.
