Here comes FALL :)

Here is a little update on the past few months, not in chronicle order (so sorry). We went to Elephant Butte a couple weekends ago. We had a BLAST fishing and swimming. The weather was perfect and it was a nice weekend to get away. This was on the last day, sorry for my hair. It's kind of all over the place
This is us by the water, us girls had a super fun time swimming around and jumping off of rocks into the water.

A little while back we painted our living room red. We got the couches from Bridger's dad, and the paint on clearance. We absolutely love it. Now we need to get paintings and stuff to decorate it up a little bit.
A little while back we had a huge rainstorm and it flooded the roads. It was unlike anything I have ever seen. We rode around in this big yellow old army truck and looked at all of the rivers that were flooded. Definitely a fun time!
We went to a carnival and went on a ride, had some authentic carnival hot dogs (the absolute best), some french fries and looked at all of the fair animals. I had NO idea that animals were a major part of the fair. It was way fun to walk around and see all the different animals and had a fun carnival experience.
I took a week vacation to Colorado, during which we went to Time Out for Women. I got to see my Aunt Jessica, my sisters Angela, Melinda, Andrea and my brothers and their families :) It was such a good week!! The conference was very uplifting and edifying and it was GREAT to see all my siblings. :)
This is Me and Caleb, my brothers son (he's an amazing little boy!) He has crazy curly hair, and is such a sweet heart! That smile just melts your heart :)
Last but not least, the last main thing that happened lately is we went to my cousins wedding up in Phoenix. We saw a lot of my cousins and had such a good time! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was such a blast! (sorry the picture is blurry)
Last but not least... These are just random things about my husband :)
As we were driving to Phoenix the other day we started talking about things we loved as a kid. Here are some things that Bridger said and I need to know if all his "fads" were really fads. haha
These things make my husband so excited-
-Anyone heard of Slammers/pogs/or torpedoes??? He just lit up as he started talking about them and how you were the king if you had the coolest and most. I have NEVER EVER heard about any of these things. Have you? He said they were like the coolest things ever. He tried to explain how they worked... I still don't quite get them.
-Space Jam dolls. When they came out in happy meals, him and his brothers would say what characters they were. Totally made his childhood highlights :) I guess Space Jam was a little before my time, I think I've seen it maybe once in my life.. but I can't say I remember it.
-The 3 ninjas movie. I have never ever ever heard of the 3 ninjas movie. But it was a big thing in his childhood.
All of these things made him totally light up. He got SO super excited when he brought them up and they definitely made his childhood highlights. I love my husband. He is adorable.
One more thing- Does anyone say "throw a brohdi" in referring to a "donut" that you make by spinning your car, etc in a circle? Bridger says it, and I have never heard it. Anyone else refer to it as that??
That's the update :)
-XO-
p.s. I LOVE fall weather. I get to wear cute jackets to work now, and boots! :) My two absolute favorite things :) So excited for fall to begin.
