Duck, Duck, Goose!

Today, after arguing about if there were still ducks around this time of year, we went to First Dam to find these ducks to feed.

I think that Bridge was a little nervous of the squawking birds at first, but she seemed to think they were pretty interesting after a while.

...By the way, yes there are still ducks to feed! ...and geese too!

The Bank

Bridget has been saving her money. Every time she finds some chance, or hears money jingleing, she runs to her room to find her piggy bank. After she accumulated what Josh thought was about 20 bucks, we took her to the bank to deposit it in her account.

After the bank she got her very own Happy Meal. I think she was more excited for my drink than anything!

(did you know that you have to be 3 years old to play in the Mc'D's playland???)

I hope that Bridget finds saving money as a good thing.

Daddy Daughter Ride

Josh has been excited for the day that Bridget can go on a ride with him. I don't think he could wait any longer, so Saturday, he wedged her in between him and the gas tank, and went slowly around the block. Bridget was so excited to go, she kept making "vroom, vroom" sounds and blew kisses with both hands!

a true "Biker Babe"!

(Heather, I'm sorry the video was too long!)

Our Fort

Today we built a fort. Bridget's becoming a monster! She's been practicing her growl, so today we built her a home for the little Monster to live in!

At the Beginning she is speaking her new "Monster Language", but when I ask her about it she try's to hide the fact that's she's becoming one!

She had fun hauling her pumpkin full of toys into the fort. Check out the static hair!

"Welcome to my Home! ...rrrarrr!"

A New Project

So for the last few weeks I have been trying to envision how in the world I was going to make Bridget's Halloween Costume. I finally went and bought the material and accessories at JoAnn's on Saturday. I started the project between the two sessions of Conference and again Sunday while listening to the Sunday sessions.

I had all the sewing that needed to be done with the machine Sunday night.

Thanks to Josh for his help with the eyes. I told him that was his project!

Today (Monday) it's finished! I am so excited. Mostly to show off my incredible sewing skills! HA HA.... I really don't know what I am doing when it comes to sewing. I'd say it's all improvising.

Teddy Bear Run 2008

Every year, Logan has a motorcycle donation run for Child Abuse. Every Bike rides with a teddy bear strapped to their bike for the 60 mile ride. This year we got to participate. This was our third charity ride this summer, and definitely the biggest!

There were two rest stops during the ride. (Thank Goodness!) When we came back through Logan we were able to ride down Main Street, where in previous years had been problems so they had to ride other roads. I think there were at least 500 bikes, but I'm not sure.

It turned out to be a pretty warm day. Sardine Canyon was pretty to go through with the leaves changing. But the best part was the smell of skunk! Ahhh... the joys of the wind in your face!

The ride ended at the Fair Grounds where they gave "raffle" prizes. And we gave our Bears.
(this time we won a Leatherman type thing and a car wash)

(us placing out bear with the rest. ... don't mind my helmet hair!)

The Teddy Bear Run this year raised just over $11,000.
