Love/Hate relationship

 Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with their blog?  I do. I love looking at other families' blogs, but hate updating my own.  That brings us to today, when I realized that the last time I updated MY family blog was the end of July.  Sincere apologies to our dedicated readers(my mom and Ricky).  More frequent updates should be in the near future.  Now that we have that out of the way, here's what we have been up to the last 2 months:

August 7 we welcomed a new face into the Dalmer family. Stacy and Mike were married and the Chicago, Phoenix, Sierra Vista and Tuscon branches of the family made it out to celebrate.





Went swimming with the neices:

 I like this picture because it is me, my mother-in-law and her mother-in-law.

The Dalmer men and their mom


Onto boating(extreme tubing) with the Kath-ster.  She had some family come along as well and we couldn't stop laughing the whole time.  Her brother drove the boat while we held on for dear life had our turn on the tube.


Tour of Utah.  We went up the canyon past Sundance, had a picnic with our friends, and watched the cyclists power themselves up the grinding hill.

 In the spirit of bike races, the Mister chased them up the hill, screaming and shaking the cowbell for all it was worth.  All we could think was "MORE COWBELL!"

Up to Peoa for a good 3 day weekend of naps, eating like a teenager while you play card games into the wee hours of the night, and target/clay pigeon shooting.

The Mister was amazing and got almost all of the clay pigeons that were tossed his way.
 The Missus wasn't bad either, getting a few.

Thanks Brandon for providing the bubbles; because without bubbles, the clay pigeons wouldn't be the same.


The hot sauce...just ask the Mister about this.  He was icing his tongue and drinking Pepto strait from the bottle for the next few hours. Don't worry, the esophagus is healed and the bowels are recovered.

 BYU carnival with the Thornocks. Can anyone say free shaved ice and hotdogs?

Taco night at Stews new place.  It's sad to me that out of our group of friends, the single guy is the one with the nicest apartment.   Ahh, so is life.

 Yes, this is our friend Mr Madsen, with his head out our car window, soaking in the beauty of American Fork Canyon.  The leaves are changing and...WHAT!!! FALL ALREADY!!! That means its almost winter...and that means its almost CHRISTMAS!! Anyone else thinking of Christmas plans/presents/stuff yet?


And finally, El Gato.  This is our neighbors cat.  Every morning, he is in the hallway and meows at us to pet him, so we decided to take morning pictures of our new friend.
