Fall catch up

Fall is starting to get back to normal.  Some modifications, but some "normality".  We went to our first symphony.  There's a new conductor, but it was fun to be with Jim, Jer and Ada. It was Jer's favorite symphony, so that was a good one to come back on.

The soccer season ended too.  Ada's last game was different.  The opposing team players didn't show up so they played the parents.  Jer was coaching Seth's team on the other side of the park, so I went and switched places with him so that he could come play with Ada.  It was so cute.

Seth's team.

Just a couple weeks ago, we went to Hna Ramona's funeral.  I played the piano and gave a quick memory of her.  Frederico's brother in law played the cello with me and that was neat. I'm sad for Cristina, but I'm glad it's over for Ramona. My family was so patient.  They sat through an hour and a half in spanish.  So patient!

Backyard leaves

Good grade donuts!

Seth's friend, Jack, had a minecraft bday party.  There were only three kids there so I was okay with Seth going.  I helped make the eggs that they used too.  They were egg shells filled with confetti and pictures of things that can come out of the eggs in minecraft.  It was a fun activity.

Eating water blocks.

For YW's, they found a giant twister board. It was so fun.  I only made it about 5 or 6 steps into it, but Ada made it about half way through.

I had a new girl start in my daycare.  She LOVES Jeremy.  Every time he walks through, she wants a big hug.  Awwww.... look at my cute husband!

This was my life the last two weeks.

 

Sam's first attempt

 

This is Sam's first attempt at crocheting. I think it's cute, but he was fairly frustrated with it so we redid it. 

Halloween

\

Hannah, Ada

Evelyn, Seth, Sam and Ian

Halloween was fairly easy.... we went out early so that there weren't tons of people out and then came home to hand out candy.  My Mom and Janelle came to go with us.  It was fun to hang out.  Ada and Sam are old enough to pay for their own costumes.... so Ada wanted to go as a plague doctor and Sam already had everything to be a Gryffindor so that's what he went with.  He also wanted to crochet his own scarf, so I taught him.  He got three squares into it and we needed to frog it because he was missing stitches at the end of the row.  We were running out of time, so I did the scarf except the last two squares at the end. It was fun to work with him.  Evelyn is dressed up as Sans from Undertale.  It was very easy to put together.  I had Kohl's cash that bought her shorts, slippers, and jacket.  She already had a white shirt, so I really only bought her the skeleton socks on Amazon.  Seth wanted to be Thor.  He's a cute Thor too. 

 

Clary family!

 

I'm so happy that the Clary family came in for a surprise visit.  We haven't seen them in about 2 almost 3 years.  The kids are all really growing and it's fun to reconnect.  I really like the Clary's.  I never feel like there are demands on me.  It's just relaxing and fun. You can tell the girls are teens.  It took them a minute to adjust to not being shy with each other.  And Sam and Rocky just dove in.  They found that they have a lot in common.  Taylor was cute and chatty about everything and Owen has grown to much since we last saw them.  It's fun to see his cute personality. 

We also got to have dinner with Emma and Steven on Ada's birthday.  It was fun, but Peter was not having it.  Then he came down with RSV, so that's probably why.  He was probably just not feeling quite himself.

Ada's game.

Pictures I forgot

 

This is my Grandparents house from Hurricane.  It's for sale again and it has changed a bit.  The things I noticed right away was how big the trees are now and the fence around the back of the house.

These are at the sand dunes.  This was always my favorite part of visiting my grandparents.

We drove by the St George temple as well.  They've taken out the windows and doors and taken down the addition from the back.

Goblin Valley

Monday we spent at Goblin Valley.  We played laser tag and explored the first valley.  It was fun.  It was a little windy to start, which is the first time for us.... but we stuck it out and ended up with a very beautiful afternoon.  We left and within minutes after we left and it started raining.
