Just another reason I love living in Bentonville...

This is from today's Police Report in the Benton County Daily Record:

* 8:05am - Tyler Steele reported a donkey was walking on the side of Highway 72.

* 12:00pm - Marty Nance reported a 900-pound hog was digging up his backyard.

* 2:05pm - A woman stopped at the Police Department to report someone may have taken her trash, which may have had personal information in it.

* 7:10pm - A caller reported that a vacant house might have been vandalized. The house's gutters were bent, and trash had been left in the yard. It was determined that the damage was caused by a storm.

* 5:05pm - A caller reported porch swing cushions missing.

My Workout Buddy

When Jared was out of town I couldn't go to the gym (meaning I didn't want to pay for childcare at the gym), so I made myself do the Ball & Band workout DVD at home. It's actually a great workout. At our house we call it the "Ball Movie" and Ashley LOVES it. With her purple ball being MIA, Ashley decided to just use her stroller instead. She did almost the entire 30-minute workout with me. I had to grab the camera and catch of few pics of our workout together.

Sadly...August in a nutshell

I'm hoping this won't become a habit, but if it does...I'll call it the Nutshell Habit. In any case, here is the August in a Nutshell post. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, and I don't have time to write 22,000 words, here are the pictures. This covers our trip to the Stewart Ranch in Utah, Bethany's new mobility, the frog we found on the back patio, the preying mantis we found on our car, fun times around the house with the girls, flowers in the garden, and our Oklahoma City temple trip. Enjoy!
