Fabulous Friendships
The main reason the Fernstens came to Utah over Labor Day weekend was see us. The second reason was to celebrate Rachel’s old friend Allison Funk getting married! The reception took place over an hour away from where we live, but it was a lot of fun to be there in that beautiful backyard setting.
Here is a photo of Chase, and Allison’s nephew, Bryson. He’s the son of Allison’s older sister, Jamie. Jamie was my best friend growing up, and without her, my teenage years would have been a lot more boring! She is such a beautiful, vivacious, entertaining person.
I love the photo below because the two boys were just sitting there, enthralled as they watched the newlywed couple have their first dance together. So precious!
I was so glad the groom’s parents had this ground-level trampoline in their yard for the kids to enjoy! I loved it that Chase had such a blast running around with all those little Funk cousins. He doesn’t have any cousins of his own, but he’s always glad to adopt any that he comes across!
Becky also came with three of her four kids, and I was glad they came to join in the festivities. It’s always so much fun to be with my friends that I can laugh with and with whom I also used to laugh when I was 13. Becky is not only one of my favorite people ever, she’s also gorgeous, and she is raising four healthy kids!
The girls and I also met up once at Becky’s place a couple days before the wedding, because we love every excuse to spend time chatting and laughing together. (Photo courtesy of Becky’s talented 4-year-old daughter).

The Pleasure of the Fernstens’ Presence
Nathan & Rachel rolled into town for a quick Labor Day weekend visit. What fun! It was nice to lie around, chat, play, eat, have extra help with the kids, etc.
Below was the T-Girls’ favorite photo. For whatever reason, it cracked us up big time. The uninteresting background info is that Jessica kept putting her foot on Rachel’s tummy, claiming that there was nowhere else to put it, but there really was elsewhere to put it! I loved how we were all just sitting there, entangled.
We went out to Red Robin to celebrate Jessica’s and Nathan’s birthdays. Look at this cute newlywed couple!
….And this semi-cute non-newlywed couple.
Chase insisted on wearing this blue bowtie when we went out to dinner.
On Sunday, we had a huge barbeque feast, including these 3 chocolate cakes that ended up at our house! (Laura, Gretchen, and Chase had each made one.)
Charlotte really loves men. When Nathan’s around, she is content to sit with him and check out the phone (or computer, or printer, or whatever techie gadget he may have on hand).

Do You Want a S’more? …S’more of what?
Pace had foresight when he decided to build us a simple firepit in our backyard a couple years ago. We’ve used it a lot this summer, and of course we usually have to bust out the s’mores. I love it!
Here, Charlotte has already had her fair share, but she’s searching the empty wrappers for any signs of leftover chocolate. *Sigh* She’s her mother’s daughter and both her grandmothers’ granddaughter!

Sweet Summertime
Oh, how I love the sunny days of summer! There is so much we can do outside on these warm days. I relish this beautiful time that we enjoy before the frigid winter weather shows its mean, ugly face (can you tell that I’m not a fan of cold weather?).

I need your help McBlog readers. Our flash guy at work made this amazingly cute pig bank that kept shrinking when money was spent. Well editing time came and the pig got cut. I was so sad because this pig made me smile so much every time I saw it. Will you help me spread this pig across the internet? I have him available in an animated flash object, an animated GIF, and a PNG image file. Please use which ever you’d like and post the pig around the internet. Or just share this blog post about the pig. We’d like to dedicate this to all the great work people do that gets left on the cutting room floor.
