October 12--we had a day off of school. Blake had an ortho appointment, which went fine. Then we had some errands to run and came home and found that we were booed (by our new neighbors). Blake also found a Tesla Model 3. This is the car that Aaron wants.
October 10--After breakfast, we went to Dylan's soccer game. Then we went to Hutchin's for lunch. They were fans. The cousins love making movies. While we were in Arkansas, they made 2 movies, so this time together, they made the 3rd movie of the series. That night the Stott's came over for swimming and dinner.
The next day we had church online (we go to church every other week in person. We are allowed to go every week, but our ward is too big, so while the other wards in our stake can go every week, we go every other week.) Later that day Adam, Becki and family left to hang out with Becki's brother and his family who lives about an hour and a half from us. We had so much fun with them!!
Friday, October 9-- We celebrated our 19th anniversary. We started by going on a hike. Then we went to the gun club, where we got to test our gun along with 2 others. Then we ate there and it was amazing food.
Then Adam, Becki and family arrived at our house for a fun weekend visit. We love it when we get together with them. The cousins get along so well!
October 6- Dylan got the golden ticket. Not many kids get this. Each teacher hands out between 1-2 of these per year. Way to go bud!
October 5- It just so happened that I found this shopping, which is what my parents were going to get Dylan as a present, so I bought it and they thought that they would give it to him that day so that I wouldn't have to hide it until his birthday. So I set it up with a note from Grandma and Grandpa and captured him when he got home from school. He loves to read, like he gets in trouble for staying up to late reading. He was and still is, a huge fan. Now he just needs a refrigerator and he will be in heaven.
Friday, October 2--we went to lunch for our anniversary meal. Don't worry, he couldn't eat this whole thing, but it was amazing. And this restaurant is down the street from us.
I was on a walk on my day off and I thought the sky looked so cool. It was better in person, but it was a great reminder to look at the beautiful world that we have.
September 27--One of my friends at school gave me this awesome pumpkin/waffle iron. It is in the shape of a pumpkin and it is a pancake on one side and a waffle on the other. We make pumpkin pancakes in them...hence the name. We love this iron.
On our walk, we saw this tarantula. Not a fan of these things.
We got a new bishopric. Bishop Bell, and Scott Call and Kenny Favero. All these guys we know and totally support.
For dinner, we went over to the Ririe's house. Their 15 year old daughter, Rikki has been having issues with her leg/nerves/foot for over a year. Nothing has worked and she has lost all feeling in her leg, so they were doing a spinal injection on Tuesday, so we went over for dinner and a blessing. Side note: the injections didn't work, so months later they did a surgery. She is now 7 weeks after the surgery and still recovering. She can't sit long at all. But the cool thing is she stubbed her toe and could feel it. This family is such a great family. Her older brother just started BYU this year and surprised her and her family and flew out here for her surgery. How sweet is that?! We are still praying hard for Rikki and her family. It is an emotional roller coaster.
Saturday, September 26- This was a fun day! Dylan had a soccer game, then we went straight to Landon's baptism. It was fun to see lots of family. Aaron's aunt and uncle were there, who we see a lot and it is always great to catch up with them. Then we saw his cousins, Aubrey and Brittany...and Jeremy. Those are Amy's (Landon's mom) siblings. Then his cousins who live in Houston and their mom and dad came. Amy has a cousin on her dad's side who lives in our city, so they were there too. Then we see David's family pretty well, so it was fun to see his parents and his sister, Susanna (who lives in Bentonville, who we saw at a park when we were out visiting Adam and Becki).
The baptism was great and David is in the bishopric, so it was all just family.
Then we went home, at lunch, then headed over to the Neumann's backyard for Beckett's baptism, which was in his backyard. We were close to having Landon's baptism in our pool, but changed it to the stake center. How cool though that Beckett was baptized in his pool?! It was great and fun to see all the family. We know Cambria's parents and siblings well and Sean's parents and sister well, so it was great to talk with them. We knew we were getting a new Bishop the next day, so it was the last business that Bishop had to take care of.
After the baptism, Aaron and I met up with Amy and family to eat at Hutchins. I love baptisms so it was such a special day to be able to participate in 2 and for 2 really amazing boys!
As soon as Blake got home from school, we went over to Landon's birthday party. David's parents rented a house, so we had the party there.
Saturday, September 19- Dylan had another soccer game.
Earlier that week, Dylan started his Alpha program, which is their GT program. His best friend in his class is also in Alpha with him, so they sit by each other on the bus.
