We have had a lot of fun doing last-minute end of Summer things. We had a ward barbeque last weekend at the Spanish Fork swimming pool. It is so nice there! It was even nicer that they closed the pool down for our ward to be there. It was a bit cold for babies, but Harrison loved it anyway - I think mostly because he got to walk along the side of the pool and felt like a big boy... nothing gets a bigger smile from him than that!
This picture is the result of the swim... Harrison's hair went crazy! Which reminds me, I really want to cut his hair. Zac says that we should let him keep his precious baby hair as long as possible, and I say that it is driving me crazy. It has about 3 different textures to it - one side is curly, one side and the front are stick straight and the back is always fuzzy. I don't want to regret cutting it too soon, but he is seriously starting to look homeless. What do you think?
Last Saturday was the first BYU football game of the season, and Zac could barely sleep the night before! We got Harrison his first BYU garb - a T-shirt and a beanie, which will be brought out in a month or so. I was a little worried about how Harrison would handle sitting at a football game for 3 1/2 hours, but he did amazingly well! He and I sat under the bleachers with all the other moms and babies during the first half - it was so hot! A bunch of clouds rolled in at halftime so we watched the rest of the game from our seats. Zac had been waiting for this game ever since he found out we were pregnant. I don't think Harrison really has a choice of whether or not he's a BYU fan. I love that Zac wants to take him to all the games though. There is nothing cuter than seeing all the dads there with their little boys teaching them all about football.
Last of all, we have some exciting news! We put our house up for sale this week, which feels like a huge accomplishment. We have been debating about it ever since the beginning of the year, and we finally decided that it's the right time. We feel so far away from family in Springville, even though they're all only about an hour away. We feel like we are constantly going up to Syracuse and it is starting to get old. Zac doesn't work in Provo anymore, so there really doesn't seem to be any reasons to stay. So for the past week, we have been doing some serious fixing-up. I am happy to say that I am now a self-proclaimed Mrs. Fix-it. We cleaned out the whole house and scrubbed it and have it looking beautiful! The realtor came and took pictures, and we thought we didn't need to have it super tidy for awhile. My parents came down the next day and helped me get a good start on the re-paint of the bathroom. We originally painted it dark brown to match our bedroom and it was a seriously horrible job - we only did one coat and not one wall looked good. So we got the whole thing fixed up and painted in a day. The next morning, I was moseying around the bathroom taking the tape of and admiring the paint job when the realtor called and said that more pictures needed to be taken and they would be there in 2 hours to take them. AAH! I seirously freaked out and I haven't moved so fast in my whole life. I managed to put the whole bathroom back together, hardware, cupboard doors and all, and clean the house just in time for them to arrive. Hopefully that's all done with. The nice thing is that people can only see our house by appointment, which takes a huge stress off of me so I don't have to keep my house spotless all the time. Wish us luck!
