September 2014

I thought as my children got older and in school more I would have more time and it would be less busy around this home, but that is not the case at all.  If anything we are more busier than ever and the hours between 330 and bed time are CRAZY!!  This month has been full of projects-wood floor, canning peaches, making zucchini bread, drying apples and pears and soccer.  Yes soccer has taken over our home.  Gunnar and Mack play Saturdays and Tuesdays with practice on Thursday.  We spend Tuesday nights from 5 until 7:30 at games Thursday night from 5 to 7:30 at practice and Saturday at 10 to 11 and 1 to 2 for games.  I think the boys enjoy playing soccer.  I like to keep busy.

We started putting in a wood floor on Labor Day and the last day of September we finally have it all sanded down ready to go.  It just took us a month to find help to help us in our en devour.   So now we just need to stain it.

Gunnar got to go to Denver to visit my dad with  my mom and his cousin McCoy on Saturday the 13th.  He loved it and had a great time.  He went swimming, to the zoo, and bowling with the fish at Bass Pro shop.  What a lucky kid!

Mack's school had a cougar crawl to raise donations for the school and new equipment.  Each grade ran for 10 minutes around the track.  It was a hot day and we ate snow cones ran the race and had soccer practice.

Mary-my best friend had her baby shower on the 20th.  It was nice to see her family and eat good food.  She was pregnant with twin but lost a twin a few months ago.  It has taken her and Brent 8 years to get pregnant.  She is such an example of perverseness during trials.  She keeps the faith and remains happy and hopeful.  She is due Oct. 12th and I hope and pray this baby lives and is healthy.

The next day 21st was the Ogden Temple re-dedication.   Went over to my mom's church and went to the meeting and then had dinner with the fam.  No church services were held in Utah for the re-dedication.

Lyndee took out her endowments on Thursday the 25th and it was so cool to have all my sisters in the temple with her, along with my mom and dad.
The 28th was Tylee's blessing and again fun to be with family again.
Have had lots of rain the last week of September and the weather is turning cold!  Monday the 29th we went and drove the Alpine loop for FHE.  The leaves were beautiful.  Nice peaceful drive.
For YM/YW we had the opportunity to here from Olympic Silver Medalist Noelle Pikus-Pace and her testimony.
