Dance, Dance, Dance and a bit of poison ivy

Today was Violet's first day of dance class!  We were all so excited and she did so well.  I think her new studio is a perfect fit.  Ms. Susie and and Ms. Michelle were excellent teachers and it was a perfect class size of about 10 girls.

Headed to dance class!

Leaving dance class
 

 

After Violet's dance class we headed over to Chuck E Cheese for Keith's last hurrah before he has to go back to work at his new job on Monday.  I have enjoyed his 3 week vacation while between jobs very much.  If not for it he wouldn't have been able to go to World's of Fun with us on Aug 15th or been able to see Violet's first dance class.  We are also excited for his new job at CEVA and hopes he likes it there.

In other news we were happy to learn this itchy rash Keith and I have is just poison ivy.  It was been bothering us for about a week. First, I was scared we some how got bed bugs, then I thought maybe it was scabies from the cheap motel we stayed at in Columbia.  Luckily it is not. We had our Dr. friend look at it and he actually laughed at the fact I thought it was possibly scabies.  He said it's definitely not scabies and looks just like poison ivy.  Good to know I was freaking out of stupid poison ivy.  I blame Keith for working in so many yards lately.

1st day of preschool!

Violet was very excited for her first day of preschool.  When it was time to head out the door she had her backpack, teddy bear (to be left in the car) and her dance bag.  I told Violet she doesn't need to take her dance bag to preschool.  She simply said "Okay, but we are still going to dance there right?"  I told her she might get to dance at preschool but they might not dance today.  She seemed to enjoy preschool very much and is excited to go back on Thursday.  I think she did learn a new way to get out of eating her dinner.....

I think this is the first time she's ever fallen asleep at the dinner table.  I had to move her to the couch for fear of her waking up on the floor.

Family Fun!

If you couldn't tell by our pictures, we had lots of family visit us this summer. Our first visitors, Tiffany's parents, came to pick up Annabell. We had lots of fun shooting guns, watching movies and playing games.
My parents arrived in the middle of August, just in time for my graduation from BYU. After the graduation celebration, we joined them in their travels to Vernal, Utah.

There we visited many relatives, including my 100 year-old Grandpa Tanner, and my Grandma Perkins. We were really excited to see Telicia and Miranda and hang out with them.

Now I am working and looking for jobs, while Tiffany continues to work.

Hiking the 'Y'

Jon and Tallia Bryner, along with Tiffany's cool little sister, Annabell and I hiked BYU's Y-Mountain. For years I have stared at the enormous Y wondering if I'd ever make it up there.

As we made the ascent, it was rather slow and difficult (due to my outtashapeness). After an hour of hiking, we were about to give up and return home but Jon helped motivate us to push forward.

Tiffany stayed at home, but when we arrived at the 'Y,' she went outside to see if she could see us. Luckily I had my bright Surefire 6P LED so she could see our position.

I had a ton of fun! We never would've made it without Jon and Tallia!!!
