Farewell Summer

Last night we were out in the backyard enjoying one of the last warm summer evenings of the season. Ok, probably we will still have warm weather for another month, but I am already feeling the impending doom of a long, cold winter. Anyway, Weston wanted to play in the hose, but instead of me having to hold the sprayer while he ran through it, we hooked up the little sprinkler attachment. It turned into a cute little impromptu romp in the sprinkler.

Davin really enjoys water much more than Weston did at this age. It's fun. He is pretty brave. He got cold sooner than Weston did, but he had just as much fun.

Drying off and warming back up.

I am so enjoying our backyard. It's so nice to be able to use it. It's by no means beautiful or "done," but it's usable and we really like having that space.

We had a lovely weekend actually. Saturday morning Ian and I went to the temple and did initiatories. It was so nice. I hadn't been back to do them since I went to the temple the first time. I had forgotten so much of it. After we finished at the temple we went out to lunch at Kneaders. Mmm. We finished off our morning date with a quick stop at the Nissan dealership to get a price quote on fixing our temperature gauge.

That evening Ian went into work to put in some time on a rush project that he is doing. I curled up and watched the new Pride and Prejudice. I still prefer the A&E version, but this was shorter and I really enjoyed the more intimate ending. Although nothing really beats a wedding, right?

Sunday we all went to church. We had combined YM/YW and Davin was being a pill, so I took him out. We wandered for a few minutes then I decided to take him into nursery to play. I stayed there with him for about 20 minutes. He had a blast and screamed when I took him back to class. I don't think we will have a problem with his going to nursery in a couple weeks.

This random bath picture gets included in this post too just because it's so stinking cute. I think this was Wednesday night's bath. I just put new foam letters in the bath, and Weston spelled "toy" all by himself. He even underlined it with the "I" so that it would look like the logo of Toy Story. What a funny, smart kid. I am so excited for him to start preschool next week!
Thanks for all the book recommendations too from my last post. I have already put several on my hold list at the library. I look forward to some more good reads. In case you are wondering I am on goodreads.com, but I have a hard time keeping it updated. Finally, this weekend is the BYU football season opener. We are way excited. We will be watching the game at our house. If anyone wants to join us, let me know! Go Cougs!
