The Dog Days are ALMOST Over

If I had a quarter for every time I've heard someone say "It's the dog days of summer" I'd have a surprising amount of quarters.  Even though we sure are in the heat of the summer I feel like it is coming to an end faster than I would like.  I am LOVING the 90 degree weather and although I love fall and I am looking forward to it, I am glad we have a few more weeks of summer.

We have been able to do a lot of fun things this week, Violet and I went to Ogden to visit Cash and Paige before they go back home to Moscow, ID this weekend.
Wednesday night I was able to sub with Paige for Paige's sisters' Bunko group and afterwards I went to "The Help" with my mom and my sisters. It was AMAZING! I haven't read the book yet but it sure made me want to. Definitely a must see.

We went for a walk on the river parkway Thursday morning
 And after naps went to the splash pad in South Ogden.  It sure beats the heck out of the one in Providence! So much more fun and nicer. Violet wasn't sure about it, she kept grabbing my finger and pulling me around and whining but kept walking right into the water.  Sadly I didn't get any pictures of cute Paige and Cash
 Cash is in the background! He LOVED the water
 Violet fell in a muddy hole in the grass. Don't you just want to squish those thighs?!
 Friday night we went to the Cache County fair with Taylor and Crystal. I was so impressed, I didn't think it was going to be as big as it was but it was great.
Erik had to get a frozen banana in honor of the Bluth's
 Violet loved all the animals and I wanted to take home one of these baby goats


 Two cute girls in the stroller all tuckered out, it was a fun and long night full of amazing ribbon fries with nacho cheese, Zeppe's, Dippin Dots, frozen bananas and fried Coke.

I LOVE these "dog days"... seriously, I never want summer to end. Ok, I don't know about you guys, but I was dying for ribbon fries and cheese all night long and into the next morning. I woke up and all I wanted for breakfast were ribbon fries. I told Taylor that were going to go back saturday night, just for those fries! (we didn't) Oberg boys, please see what you can do about re-creating that culinary masterpiece.

P.S. Thanks again for watching Hazel. It was nice to finally get back to the temple. Now our bishop can't chastise us for our infrequent attendance.

Aren't baby goats the cutest things ever? I totally want one some day. And fried coke is incredible. Miss Violet is so cute in her strawberry shirt. She was cracking me up at church yesterday, strutting around with her blankie around her neck!

Didn't know you liked Arrested Development! What a fun, sexy time for you! Hhahah.

Also, a certain spouse of mine and I decided someday we'll have a goat and name it Rob. Rob Goat.

(Sometimes I think I'm funny when I'm really not. For that, I apologize.)
