September

We gave away all of our boxes and paper.  Somebody got a good deal.  It was nice to get our garage cleared out so we could start getting organized. 



We started hanging artwork on the walls.  It's beginning to feel like home.


Check out this gorgeous evening view of Rock Canyon!


I got Piper to put on the Pooh Bear costume that Chelsea wore 24 years ago.  So cute!  


Lucile and Eric came over to see our new house and had sacrament meeting with us.  Piper wouldn't smile for the picture she had with her great grandparents, but she really was in a good mood.  Later that day, we gave her a Fisher Price house and an adorable book about Band Aids for her early birthday presents.  




Matt and I took the grand baby to the park for a little while so her mom and dad could get some things done in preparation for their trip to Portland.  



My sister Kristen has been without grass at her home due to broken sprinklers when she moved in.  She got those fixed and finally was able to buy sod.  I went to help lay it one Friday in September.  Thankfully, it was a cool, overcast day and lots of people came to pitch in.  Neighbors, missionaries, and family members.  We got the front and back finished within about four hours!  The sod for the backyard was wet and we all got super dirty.  I had lots of fun and learned about sod laying.  








September was preparation month for Emma's mission.  Lots of shopping and checking things off the list.  She had her roommate take some pre-mission pictures of her. She's gonna be one cute and smart missionary!




This house came with an already planted garden.  We've been able to enjoy lots of tomatoes.  Had to give many away to neighbors because we couldn't keep up.  




Let's end this post with little Piper's 2nd birthday at her other grandparents' house in Oregon.  Chelsea FaceTimed us and we got to watch her get sung HB to.  She reached out and touched the candle flame.  She got the saddest frown on her face after quickly pulling her little hand away.  She didn't get burned thankfully.  They distracted her with yummy chocolate frosting.
