# 25

Well I turned 25 on Sept 5th. It was a very eventful birthday. Logan had all sorts of things planned. We had been debating whether to go iceskating or roller skating that day. Iceskating won because we found 2 for 1 coupons! It was a very fun day.... well for most of us. (Ash didn't think so) :)

We all took turns watching Afton. She loved seeing everyone skate by.

Aaron and Mia.



Squealing at the skaters

Ella and Kristi. It was Ella's first time iceskating! She picked it up fast. By the end she was skating all the way out in the middle.

Logan trying to race me.

And of course to make the day more eventful Ash fell and cracked her head open. It was a bloody mess. No worries, she laughed during the whole thing. She went to the hospital later that night and got two staples. Cost: over 2,500 dollars for two staples.... yah there is seriously something wrong with our health system!

Afton never falls asleep on my shoulder anymore.... she was tired!

Play at your own risk!

After iceskating we went to cheesecake factory for dinner with the fam. Then later that night Logan had invited a few of my close friends over for cake and icecream. Logan was missing for part of it and I found out that it was because he opened up the icecream cake he had ordered and it said "Happy Birthday Chris." It was returned and exchanged for one with the right name. haha. I don't think I would have cared anyway!

Going to blow out the trick candles.

Mike, Holly, and Charlie.


Tyson, Ash and I. Poor tyson was like the only guy there for most of it! I'm sure he felt very out numbered.


My birthday present this year was a shuffle ipod Logan found on Craigslist and new running shoes that I picked out! It's been like 6 years since I've gotten a new pair! As you can imagine my other ones are very very very worn out.

A Real Cowboy

My uncle Johnny came into town to rope for the weekend. It was a very hot day but we roughed the heat and went to watch him. I've always loved going to his roping competitions and the rodeo's he was in. It's amazing that he's 60 and still roping better than most the young guys out there. He ended up getting 3rd out of 300 ropers. He's a real cowboy, a roper, a horse trainer, and one tough old guy. :)

First week in Fresno

We survived our first week in Fresno!

A new first

First time feeling the rain... so cute. :)

Last Week in SD

Well I got a job in Fresno and had to start work the following week. I had three days left in San Diego and wound up feeling like I just did not have enough time to do everything for the last time. Not enough time to see everyone I knew I would miss, not enough time to go to the beach for the last time this summer, not enough time to pack things up.... just not enough time. We did however find enough time to make a last trip to Phil's with Kris and Emily. We spent the rest of the night wrestling with Afton. :)

10 months

On August 11th Afton girl turned 10 months old! We had swim lessons that day and had a couple of other things going on so I completely forgot until late at night. I snapped just a few pics of her before getting ready for bed...to remember our little girl at 10 months old.

QTTF

If you've read our other posts you will know what that means! :) We made another one at the beginning of August. It was a fun little trip. We went to a grizzlies game and had a whole weekend to hang out with family and friends.


I went into the cage to try and catch a chicken for Afton and one flew straight into the fence where Afton was at and startled her. She cried a little so we spent a lot of time checking out the chickens so that she knew they weren't scary. Here dad caught one for her to get a close look at.

The whole crew, minus Logan who was taking the picture.

Ella, Charlie and Robbie went to the soak zone. Robbie was a good sport about it!
