Jana's Baby Shower

New Ride

Remember the time when I wrecked Luke's truck? Yeah........ that.
Because we had to get our house loan taken care of first, we weren't able to buy a truck for awhile.
As soon as we got this bad boy, Luke took him out hunting... and hunting, and hunting. 

First, the Elk hunt with his parents. 

Success! 

Then we had the family deer hunt.  

 Again, Belinda bagged herself a kill

 My little cute hunting beauties

 They were so excited for Daddy to get his deer too! 

 I'm not even sure what hunt this was, but Luke and my dad went somewhere fun :)

Yup, the truck was pretty busy 

September Fun

In September we did dress up

 We hadstay Payton and Nati stay with us for a few days

 We snuggled

 We went to the school back to school activity

 We dunked our teachers

 We randomly found Great Grandma's at the store

 and when the month was over, we had our Santaquin friends over during General Conference weekend

 It was awesome. 

Beach Day. Or Hour, Rather

To get our discounted stay in Dana Point, it was required that Luke and I attend a time share seminar.  It was not gonna happen, but hey, the discounted stay was worth 2 hours of our time.  Before we drove home we JUST HAD to stop and play at the beach for a bit.  Belinda and the girls spent the previous afternoon at the beach by our room while we went to Santa Barbara.  I wish we had pictures of their beach day......but I do know they had a ball.

After splish splashing for a bit, we made the long trek back home.  

The only solace was knowing that we had a bran new house to go back home and unpack. Though that may have been even more reason to want to stay. I could't decide. 

It didn't take long for this girl (and her mama) to decide it was time to GO BACK to the California sun!
