Big News!

Pub #2 is now open. Over the weekend 'Bout Time Old Mill opened. It's been a busy couple weeks for Trevor and we've sure missed having him home but check out this place...

Opening day went pretty well. Mostly family and friends but they did get some walk in customers. Not bad for no advertising. Coming soon, 'Bout Time Taylorsville!

Catchin' Up

We're a little behind on some posts. It's been a busy September. So here goes...

A couple weeks ago we went to Hogle Zoo. Hailie's been to the zoo quite a few times now but this was the 1st time she actually seemed into the animals. She especially liked the giraffes.

Here's Hailie showing how tall the giraffe's are.

Riding the carousel. She loves the carousel!

Petting the lion cub. She was really unsure of the statue at first. It took some coaxing to get this picture.

As you can see, she doesn't hold still even if Mommy wants a cute picture.

Posing with Grandma on the train.

Next up was a trip to St. George. We took a much needed long weekend break. It was a very nice relaxing weekend. We did some swimming, shopping and soaking up the rays. Kate's parents joined us. It was a great weekend!

Riding on Daddy's back

Such a little grown up.

Yes! She has hair. She even got her 1st haircut from her Nana on the trip. Just a trim but what a difference it makes.

Love this picture. Who loves Daddy!

Next, Octoberfest at Snowbird. It's a yearly tradition for us. It always makes for a great afternoon. Good music, good food and of course, good beer or in Hailie's case, juice.

She's always so happy.

Here are a couple more random photos.

We tried to teach Hailie how to eat with a spoon and here are the results...

Taking a nap with Great Grandpa. Precious moments.

Daddy's favorite good luck charm

Supporting Uncle Spence. Go Westlake #3!

Kind of a long post but wanted to get everyone caught up on the happenings for the Browns.

Fire

Here are a couple of pics of the Herriman fire from our house. We had a pretty stressful Sunday night but luckily the wind turned about 4 am so we didn't have to evacuate. It's only 20% contained as of today.

Between 1-2 AM the fire started to drop below where we could see. That's when it got a little more nerve-wracking.

The view today.

The mountains are all black. The fire is still burning but it's in an area we can't see from the house. The lower mountain is the one that was on fire in the pics above. When we got home Sunday afternoon (around 6:30) the fire was barely on the ridge of the larger mountain. We were having winds around 50mph and the fire just took off. Amazingly only 4 houses were destroyed. Firefighters are amazing!
