Here's the rundown of August...
August's Top 8 (in no particular order)--
1. Hampton and I decided to go with Shaun out to the DZ and hang out. Shaun would LOVE to have a DZ kid, so I guess this was the beginning!
2. Hampton and I went to the Johnson County Fair a few days before his birthday just for fun. We didn't go on any rides, but Hampton did play one game and HE won a dog!!!
3. We went to the zoo with some friends.
4. We went to the Great Midwest Balloon Fest! Actually, it was pretty lame. We spent money on tickets to see exactly what we would have seen sitting in the parking lot across the street... guess where we'll be next year...
5. HAMPTON TURNED 1!!! He's growing up so fast! We had a water play date party for him and his friends on his birthday (Aug 16), then a cookout for our friends and family the following Saturday (Aug 18). Thank you to all who celebrated with us! (PS-- He loves all the presents!)

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY HAMPTON!
Mommy and Daddy love you very much!!!
6. I helped coach our ward's YW in the Stake Basketball Tournament... and we WON!!! Way to go girls! You all did awesome! Thanks for the hard work and great team effort!
7. A friend of mine was pregnant (she had the baby last week), but didn't know the gender. Her husband is from India, and it is custom in his culture that the baby is brought home in one of the father's shirts. I didn't think I could make an outfit for her, so I made a blanket out of her husband's shirt instead, and put a cute little animal in the pocket. (Not the one pictured--that is Hampton's from his Granny Joan!)
8. Hampton likes forts and houses. I made a fort for him by putting a sheet over a table, and a blanket on the ground underneath. I also made a house out of a big box. Both provide endless hours of entertainment for him!
