August was very busy and flew by, I kept super busy while Ry was in Rocks Springs. The first week in the middle of the week Coop got sick for two days, I didn't mind staying home bound and just snuggling him while he watched movies. I got most of the rest of our stuff from the old house and Coop was a great helper, while we were down there we would try to walk down to the river to feed the ducks, since that's not something we will be close to anymore.
We had gorgeous sunsets, and there were a couple huge fires that started that made for some beautiful sunsets. The night before Ry left we had a little date night at home, watched the sunset, had some yummy snacks and watched a movie. We enjoyed lots of days at the pool and would usually go visit Mae Mae and Boppa after swimming, and usually stick around for dinner since Ry was gone, and I hate making dinner for just Coop and I. Coop loved exploring our new yard and playing outside non-stop. One night I decided it would be a good idea to walk to get our mail, which is down the hill from our house, we brought Nana with us and by the end of the walk I was carrying Coop the whole way up the hill and practically dragging Nana behind me, it was a great workout and something I will probably never do again. We absolutely LOVE our new ward, they are amazing, church is at 1:30 though, which is tough with naptime.
We went to the zoo, had our first bunco night at Lauren's, had friend movie nights with our bestfriends, and were so excited when Ry got home so we could hang out together and enjoy the fair!
My sick little snuggle bug.
One of our smokey sunsets...
Our first date night in our new house complete with a snack tray, Italian sodas, sunset and the best guy around.
One of our trips down to the river at the old house, we fed the ducks chips since that was the only thing in the cupboard.
This is Nana's water bowl, and I was picking up poo when I looked over and saw this little nugget all squeezed down in the water, you can see the child drowning warning on the side of the bucket, leave it to Cooper.
We had lots of nice, hot days to swim at the pool, we usually met our besties there and would swim until dinner time.
Coop's little girlfriend, Ashlyn, he seriously loves her to pieces.
My best buddy snuggling at the pool.
We went to the last concert at the park with my family and Coop LOVED the music.
This was our hike down to the mail box which ended up take almost an hour and I had to carry this little nugget all the way back up the hill.
Ry made me cut Coop's hair, it was getting a little long and Ry hates long hair on boys, he threatened to cut it himself so I had to end up cutting off his golden locks.
Our trip to the zoo, Coop is still obsessed with animals.
Coloring on the drive way, I just love this kid and this summer has been great, it's gone by way too fast.
Our movie night with our bestfriends, they may have watched a movie and a half, they had a blast. Coop was hand feeding Kolt while they were watching their movie, it was hilarious!
We were so excited to have Ry home and he was happy to finally be home and be able to enjoy our new house and yard.
He got home just in time for one of my favorite things of the year, the Eastern Idaho State Fair!! We went a few times together, Coop loved looking at and touching the animals. As always the food was delicious and we ate way too much.
Looking at the "punkins" he gasped and yelled "punkins, wow!" we could not get him away from the snowmobiles and razors; he's definitely got Ryan blood in him. I'm sure we will be adding a couple snowmobiles to the family this winter since we will be living in feet and feet of snow; Ry was ready to pull the trigger at the fair, but I kept him under control since the snow won't be here for a couple more months.
I don't know how I always manage to spill on myself, but this is ranch all down my shirt and shorts, and right after I got this cleaned my purse fell off my shoulder and made my fried cheese curds go flying. I was so sad, luckily we went back another day and I ate some to make of for this tragedy.
