summer wrap up

since i have posted twice all summer, i thought i would wrap it up with labor day weekend, and include our mishaps as of late.

-we spent saturday night at the real game. i was treated to club seats with my little lady, and we had fun. it was hot, much hotter than expected, but seeing our team win is always a bonus.

-labor day was exhausting. we went for an early morning drive, and ended up with a flat tire in salt lake. nate knew his tires were bad, and we were actually going to get the front tires replaced today. unfortunately, we made it to the neighborhood we were in search for, and the tire had totally blown out. nate tried to get the tire off, but mazdas are notorious for being difficult. after 4 hours, a tow truck, lunch at dee's, and $375 later...we have two brand new tires. note to self: don't get a flat tire on labor day. people and businesses are usually not around to help you. ha ha.

-did i mention this is not the only catastrophe as of late? a few weeks ago, i lost nate's car keys at smith's. we didn't have a spare set, and our car is EXPENSIVE to re key. our car sat for a week while we waited to see if they turned up and worked out insurance...right before we finally got the new keys, we found out someone had in fact found our keys! however, they decided throwing them away was a good idea...thanks people. thanks.

-and on sunday, we went to baby sam foster's baby blessing. we had a pretty good morning, but my kids were tired, and when we got home we realized the house key was on nate's set of keys (we hadn't replaced the lost one yet), and it was inside the house. awesome. calling a locksmith on a sunday is neither convenient nor cheap.

pretty crazy, right?

the highlight of the weekend was hanging out with family and friends at a labor day barbecue. andy and ashley are moving away this week...and i know we will miss them a lot. our babies are so close, and nate has always been especially close to his brother. we of course wish them well, and are so excited for them. good luck guys! we will be out soon!
