September Happenings

So, what have we been doing in September? NOTHING!!! Yes, it's true, but nothing really exciting has happened, which in my opinion is sometimes the best. Here's what's happening in our lives in this exciting month. :)

Brenden is an official thumbsucker. At first, I was kind of sad about this because I LOVE LOVE LOVE pacifiers. But then I realized how nice thumbsucking is because at night he just finds it and that keeps him quiet. I remember with Emi trying to find that thing in the middle of the night or worse when your out running errands and then you have a mental breakdown because you forgot your pacifier. Ok, that's kind of an exaggeration... well... not really. He also started turning over the other day, which is kind of crazy, because you forget how fast they grow up.


We went to Thatcher, AZ for the Labor Day weekend to see Blaine's grandparents from Mexico. We thought that was the reason we were going up there, but turned out that it was a three day Whetten Reunion. I don't know, but those Whetten's sure love their reunions. I've never heard of a three day reunion.

Here's some pictures of that eventful weekend.

Blaine's grandparents - They look so happy in this picture.


Crazy girls - Emi and her cute cousin Charlie. They were so funny together.


I guess that means we are going to have to get her a pair of boots too. Emi and Daddy in our hotel room.


and now my favorite picture of the day... For those of you who know Emi, she has the third world country baby pot belly. Everyone else's child is skinny except for ours. But the funny thing is that after we took this picture of her belly, she said, "Mommy, Emi still HUNGRY!!" Oh geez....

Family reunions are the best! We have 3 day family reunions with my dad's family (at least 5 generations!) and other smaller family reunions are a week long. I love it! :) Can't believe you baby is growing so fast. Can't leave him one spot anymore - he's on the move.
