Harenberg Family: August 2009

Willow Park

On Tuesday, we took my sister, Liana, to Logan where she's starting college at USU. On the way home, we stopped at Willow Park to walk through their little zoo and play on the playground.

In front of the monkey cage.

There were tons of ducks and turtles along the stream.

There was a deer behind Jackson, but it decided to walk off right as I was taking the picture.

The pelicans.

Jackson loved this big twisty slide. It's the only thing he played on at the playground.

We don't know who this little girl is, but she sure liked Thorin. She carried him all around and went down the slides with him. Thorin, who's usually pretty shy, didn't mind at all!

Carrigan and I got to relax in the shade for a bit. This little girl has crazy hair that love to stick up at all angles.

Family Reunion

On August 14th and 15th we had our annual Burton K. Satchwell family reunion. On day one we had a BBQ and games.

Playing the Peter's version of jeopardy and a family trivia game.

Jeremy, William, and Ian.

Jackson and his ice cream bar.

Grandma and baby Carrigan.

After playing our games, my grandma and grandpa got to share their testimonies and words of wisdom with us.

For day two, we played games and watched a movie on the big screen in Lincoln Elementary's gym.

Here's a video clip of everybody playing scooter soccer. Fun!

My amazing mom played every game all the way to the end.

Ian, Linette, and William go after the ball in scooter soccer.

This clip shows a game where there are two circles walking opposite directions. One partner is in each circle, and when the music stops you have to find your partner and sit down. The last partnership down is out.

Two months old!

Carrigan had her two month check-up on August 13th. She was 7 lbs 5 ozs and 20 inches long at birth, and she now is 11 lbs 3 ozs and 23 inches long.

Band-aids from her immunizations. She's definitely a screamer, didn't like it one bit!

She has a cute smile, and now that she's figured out how, she smiles all the time. What a sweet little girl!

Happy Birthdays!

Thorin turned 3 on August 4th and Ian turned 17 on August 9th. We gave them a combined celebration on August 10th. I can't believe Thorin's getting so old! I love watching him grow and learn, and I just know he's going to be an amazing man when he grows up.

Thorin picked his own cake. He's a boy after my own heart...he picked straight chocolate. Of course the frosting is that irresistable kind with the chewy rainbow chips.

Ian, the non-conformist, had a chocolate silk pie instead of cake. Thorin just had to make sure he got all his candles out.

I about died when I found this Aggie shirt at Wal-Mart, so I just had to get it. It's easy to find UofU or BYU stuff, but you rarely see USU. Go Aggies!

It was a struggle to potty train Jackson, and we were hoping Thorin would be much easier, especially with his big brother's example, but of course we aren't so lucky. Thorin is a die-hard Cars fan, so we hope this potty seat motivates him to use the potty!
