THE LARSON'S BLOG: September

Today
I'm having one of those days. It's cold and rainy outside, I'm missing summer like no other, and I'm trying to get my arms around how fast the months are going by. I feel like I blink and another week, another month, another year has just wisped on by. Life keeps going by - faster and faster it seems. We spend so much time running around from one thing to the next that sometimes I forget to just sit down and soak it all in. Life's busy and full and I wouldn't have it any other way, I just wish it would slow down a bit so I can enjoy every little moment.

Ahhhh. Ok, on with my story...

This is what we have for the month of September. It was a busy month; my family came to town, we went to Bear Lake with some of our best friends, we did the Dirty Dash, went to a few weddings, birthdays, played a lot of sports in between it all. And just had a blast playing outside and soaking up that beautiful sunshine while it lasted. September was a wonderful month.

My Family

My mom, Kent, Carly, and their two little girls were able to come out to UT for Labor Day weekend. We had SO much fun being with them and spending some time together. I love my family and I'm so lucky that we're all so close (even though some of us live so far away). I love them so much.

Brother's Day
Last year we decided that we'd make this an official holiday in our family. We celebrate all sorts of holidays throughout the year: Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, etc. So we decided to dedicate one day to our special little boys. The Larson Boys get to decide all of the activities for the entire day from sun-up till sun-down. This is what we did for Brother's Day this year: we went to Park City and had pizza on Main St. - their favorite place to eat, rode the trolley, played mini-golf and rode the Alpine Slide/Alpine Coaster, and topped it off with cow cookies and ice cream.

Parks and Play-DatesWe can never get enough of this!

Sports
We had a busy season - Jordan was in flag football (2 days a week), Austin was in T-ball (2 days a week), and Jordan started Jr. Jazz all at the same time. We had a few things overlap but it all worked out. Heaven help us when all 3 boys are in sports.

The Dirty Dash
This was the one of my favorite things that we did this year. I can't even describe it - it was that much fun. We got to dress up, hang out with our very best friends, and run, swing, slide, and jump through 6.5 miles of mud. It was in our hair, in our teeth - and we loved every second of it. Of course we'll do this again!

Check out that tattoo (I've been practicing), not too bad.

The Skid-Marks Gang. There were some more of Tif and Cob's friends that were there, too. We started out together and got split up. But we all had fun - no doubt.
