August 2011 started off great! Ending left a little to be desired…
A GET-A-WAY -
Colorado Rockies stadium – a great place to watch a game.
The first week of August, Kelly and I drove to Denver to watch a Colorado Rockies Baseball Game. The Rockies played the Phillies, it was a beautiful day, at a great stadium with seats in the shade. We were also able to spend time with our friends, Jon and Diana that lived in CO at the time. They were at the game and we had a great dinner at their home before we left to drive back to SLC.
I haven’t quite mastered the self portrait with the camera just yet.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL -
Chase and Emma started school in Mid-August. Click Here for the post about Back to School.
HORSEBACK RIDING -
Emma has been obsessed with horses as long as we can remember, she’s just never been around them. Thanks to Groupon, we took Emma to her first horseback riding lesson. It was such a great experience! We do know that Emma is really allergic to horses so we prepared fully, full dose of Benadryl before leaving the house and long sleeved shirt and pants in the dead of the heat to limit contact with her skin.
A NEW JOB -
Kelly got a new job! Believe us, this is a great thing. Kelly was hit hard with the down-turn in the economy. He was hired by a great company and now has a job that he really likes. The only downside is he now works graveyard shifts. This new schedule took a toll on all of us but now that we have a routine under our belts everyone is doing great.
