Labor Day Fun

Dave had the day off, and of course so did Tanner, so we called our friends the Carlson's in Selah and asked if we could come visit.  We had such a great time.  Russ made "Red Robin" style hamburgers and we all stuffed ourselves.  The excuse - "well, it is a holiday!"

Then we played out in the yard - oh to have a yard - and the sunshine.  It was fun.  Dave and Russ taught Tanner how to catch and throw a ball, like a "man".

 Dave and Russ played a little catch, which was fun to watch.  Dave doesn't do that very often, and he really is quite good.  At least, he can catch a ball on a velcro pad and throw it back.

Colty won the heart of the little lady. (Even after plowing over her with the swing and giving her a black eye.  He tried to stop it he said.) He sat with her in the swing and held her hand, then in the house he would caress her pretty braids and sit with her on the couch.  Braden hasn't quite figured out that hitting and taking toys is not the way to win the ladies.  He will have to take lessons from Colt.

Then we took a tour of their new home and are excited to see the changes they plan to make.  It even gave Dave a small, very, very, small desire to buy a fixer-upper so we can make our own changes to it.  It was so fun to spend time with the Carlsons.  We really must do it more often!

We had to leave kind of early so we could get back and make dinner cuz it was our night to feed the Elders.  We had breakfast - muffins, eggs, smoothie, and sausage. It was delicious!
