August Rush

Like my title? Seriously, where did August go? This has been a busy month for us, so brace yourself for a longer than usual post. We started out the month with a wedding. You can see the pictures on my flowersbymelissa blog. Which reminds me, our business is totally official now!!


My awesome sister in law Becca and I designed this business card. It took us a long time, especially with 3 kids to tend to. Anyways, they are ordered and I am excited to pick them up next week. If any of you out there refer some business to us, we'll send you a $25 gift card to a restaurant of your choice! I am glad to have all of the registration and paperwork done to get our licence.


Shelbie started preschool, and LOVES it. She did not have a hard time adjusting at all, it's Caleb that is having the hard time. The first day we dropped her off he cried for her, then the next time he felt left out and tried to go into the class.....the poor kid has to stay at home or run errands with me. The preschool Shelbie is going to includes karate, gymnastics, sports physiology, music and movement and of course academics.


Our next adventure took us to the fair. The kids absolutely love the 4H exhibit with the animals.



I think that Shelbies favorite animal was the little bunnies this year. She did not want to stop holding them. Too bad I am allergic to bunny fur, I wanted to hold one too!

Here is Caleb dressing up as a Pirate. It was really hot inside the tent, thus the sweaty faces.

Caleb really liked all the tractors that were on display. I think that this picture is classic!

Next we celebrated our 6th year anniversary. Jeff and I got to go "ride the quads" (thanks Gary and Shelley!) out in Washington near the Hurricane city border. We had a lot of fun, I just don't think my body type is meant for hard core quad riding. I almost fell off a few times, got whiplash, and covered in red sand since I was following Jeff. I was sore the next day, but it was still a lot of fun, especially seeing Jeff try to show off for me.......Anyways it has been a wonderful 6 years being married to by best friend, and I'm looking froward to forever more!

The next weekend was my little sisters wedding. It was a very special and emotional time. My sister moved up to Salt Lake, and we all miss her a lot. Besides Jeff, she is my best friend. It is so nice to have such a wonderful sister. We are a lot alike, which has made some funny memories. Pictures from her wedding are also on my flower blog.

I made my sister a scrapbook page with this picture on it and a poem about sisters. When we were little my parents gave us each a broken heart necklace, one said big sis and the other little sis, we don't know were they are today, so I found one on ebay, and gave that to her the night before she moved up to Salt Lake.

Jeff and I just got home from delivering another wedding. Those pictures will also be on my flower blog soon. August is over, and I am really looking forward to the fall season. I love the colors and the crisp air, and apple crisp too....This has been a long post, I guess I had a lot to say! Our family is doing good. Jeff is doing really well in school, and is happy that there is no class this week because of the holiday. This will be one of his first weeks off since he started 6 months ago. Less than a year to go and he'll be done with his Bachelors, and on to his MBA.
