Also in August, our friends the Morgans invited us on a super special FHE. Our instructions were to dress as tourists and bring the tandem bike. Woo hoo...that's fun already. Anyway, there was an article in the Daily Universe about the 7 Wonders of Provo, so we all went around town on our bikes to see what there was to see.

The Seven Wonders were:
- Ripples Limeades
- Cougar Statue by Cougar Stadium
- The Bean Museum (it was actually something else, but we changed it)
- Totem Pole at the Museum of Peoples and Cultures
- Veteran's Memorial Obelisk
- Historic Tree (so huge it's branches have to be held up by poles)
- The Kong Kone from Macey's deli (so huge you have to put it in a cup or it would fall over)
Some of Sadie just being Sadie. I love those shoes she's wearing.
We also went to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. Sadie basically hated every minute of it, but it was $2 Tuesday so not a huge loss. We went with lots of cousins (Ashley and Konda's families) and got ice cream afterwards. Sadie liked that part.
All of a sudden it was September, and Bert came up again for our old roomate Karla's wedding. I don't know what it is about this girl, but as soon as I hear her voice or see her face it's like life's joys are increased tenfold. Do you know someone like that? I hope you do. We had fun at all of Karla's wedding events (and there were plenty!), and got to see some old friends from EAC.
She climbed into the green chair all by herself. Such a big girl.
First time falling asleep in her highchair. Finished her lunch and passed right out.
October! We made caramel apples with the Morgans. They were yummy...the apples not the Morgans. Sadie loved her apple so much that she wanted it to take a bath with her. And she did not like wearing my super cute apron that Kara got me. But I do.
Donut Day! Every Thursday there are free donuts and bagels for Graduate students (and their families, right?) up on campus. It's a fun weekly family tradition, and it never ceases to crack me up seeing Sadie holding her own donut.
Back when the garden was alive, Sadie couldn't keep herself away from the tomato plants. Green, red, rotten, whatever...she loved to pick and eat those things right off the vine.
October also brought Homecoming parades and free blue pancakes into our lives. We love hanging out with Kara and Jonathan (and all of Kara's family).
When Sadie's cousin Maddison was born, several cousins came over to play. They watched Ice Age 3 and ate Happy Meals (well..."Sadie stole food from everyone else's Happy Meal" would probably be a more accurate statement). During the movie all the big kids were laughing and Sadie thought she should, too. I loved it.
Sadie is my little climber. Here she is counquering the piano and going for whatever is on top of it. She also enjoys getting on the kitchen table when mom isn't watching. Haven't gotten a picture of that one yet. Nice.
And as promised, here is Sadie in her unicorn costume for Halloween. Her friend Jonathan Morgan was a skeleton. Dusty and I did not dress up and I decided I don't want that to ever happen again. This is actually at the ward party the night before Halloween...Sadie didn't even get into her costume on Halloween because I was throwing up my insides all day. Lovely visual I'm sure. You can thank me later.
Here's to feeling somewhat caught up in life. Cheers.
