Superheroes and Football! (September 2012-2013)

September 2012:
College football season is in full swing in September, which always makes me happy. It also isn't too cold yet and it isn't too hot. It's a pretty great month as far as months go.

Monkey has been playing soccer and having a great time. He also really enjoys backpacking with his dad. They have a lot of fun together and get to experience our gorgeous mountains. Monkey has also had fun at football games, going to the Mad Hatter's tea party, and looking at gross Halloween stuff with his dad.

Panda wishes she was out on the soccer field. We usually have to bring an extra ball for her so that she can kick it on the sidelines during the games. Panda loved going to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party this year. Any reason to dress like a princess, is a good reason.

Mouse is getting bigger and more adorable, if that's possible. Big news: she is officially out of her helmet and is loving life. And I'm loving the sweet smell of my baby's head. I can kiss it whenever I want now. Also, we decided to do something a little risky this month and took Mouse to her first BYU football game. We thought that she'd make it through halftime at best. Turns out, we were wrong. Mouse loves BYU football. We stayed the entire game and she was happy, cheering, and loving life. She was the best fan out of all of us. Go Cougars!

September 2013:

More football and more fun this year, including Comic Con stuff (but more on that later). Our family had fun cheering on the Cougars, being superheroes, and playing around this month.

Monkey has been busy with school, guitar, reading, and Lego building. He also had fun going to a BYU football game, going to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and being Iron Man.

Panda has loved soccer and was ecstatic to get a medal. She also loves being back in gymnastics after the summer break and she loved dressing up for her cousin's princess party and the Mad Hatter's tea party. She also had fun at the BYU game and is an awesome Thor!

Mouse started doing gymnastics this month and is loving it. She also has absolutely no fear, which means that momma is constantly following her around to make sure she's safe. She is talking up a storm and runs everywhere. She is our biggest BYU fan and has the most fun at the games. She's crazy about it. Plus, she makes an adorable baby hulk.

Mr. Tigger and I got to hang out more this month (I'm talking about actual dates people). It's been a lot of fun. One of those dates involved going to the BYU vs Texas game where we got to watch BYU demolish Texas (fun for everyone). We also got in a couple of runs before my last surgery of the summer. It was a huge relief to finally be done with all of those surgeries.

This September started the annual Salt Lake City Comic Con and our family loved it. We love superheroes, so I thought that the Comic Con would be a fun event for all of us…and it was awesome! I definitely recommend it to anyone. We had a blast. We got to be a superhero family for the day, got our pictures taken too many times, got videoed for TV, and got to see some really cool stuff.

Mouse got to meet the real Hulk, but I think she could take him. Mr. Tigger got to meet some clowns, which by the look of things are Captain America's kryptonite. Monkey and Panda got to meet lots of cool people and see tons of interesting things. And I got to have Dean Cain (Superman) put his arm around me, enough said. It was SUPER!
