Fall Break

Our annual Fall break where Steve and I leave the kids at Jared/Laurens and just spend the weekend together is one of my favorites. We made our Logan stops and went to the temple. Afterwards we had rented a VRBO in Bear Lake. There isn't to much going on at Bear Lake this time of year, but we still had a great time! We were able to take a lot of walks around and I kept trying to convince Steve to jump in the lake (he never did though!) However there was a big blowup bubble at teh KOA he was willing to jump on.

Our second day Josh and Chris came over and we hiked the Juniper Trail. Steve's friend John and his wife came later in the evening for dinner and games as well.

Fall Activities

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Caleb wanted to go to the corn maze so I took him and his friend Torrin. It was the most beautiful day. Besides the maze there was a hay ride and the corn bins. So of course the boys needed to be buried in the corn!

We went and picked apples two weekends in a row (the second time Makenna came instead of Chase) for Todd. There were a ton of apples!

Makenna had a Decades Stake Dance. I love that she wore my poodle skirt from highschool!

Makenna also went to the Homecoming Dance with her friends! (Pictures with Olivia and Zoe)

Under the Lights

Caleb played flag football this fall and they got to play under the lights at one of the highschool football games during halftime. It was pretty cool for the boys and everyone was cheering them on. Such a fun time!

Visitors

Mark, Steff, Beca and Kaylee came to visit over Labor Day weekend. We went and checked out the Fairy Garden displays and played at the park. The Fairy Gardens were amazing. There were so many fairy houses that people had made. We also went and fed the fish at the Fish Hatchery. It's always a hit since there are so many fish in the pond. We also floated the river one of the days they were here but no pictures to account for it. Mark and I got stuck dead last behind everyone due to always floating into the weeds along the side!

Priscilla, Tim, Dede and Piggy came for a visit one Sunday. They were spending time in Townsend hunting and came over for an afternoon. It's always fun to play cribbage with the Minnesota family!

Chris also came for a weekend to visit and I had to take her to the Fairy Gardens as well. We had a great weekend just hanging out and playing games.

Volleyball

Makenna made the Freshman Volleyball team. She got to decorate her locker (so of course I had to take a picture). It was so fun watching her play. She was one of the captains as well. She learned and had a good experience. At the end of the season she was chosen as the Coach's Award for her dedication and being the last one to leave every practice and do her part! So proud of her.

New School Year

New school year. This year there is a kid in each school. Caleb 4th, Chase 6th, and Makenna 9th. It's going to be a great year!
