Here's a bunch of stuff that I want to remember but didn't warrant it's own blog post.
JJ was excited for his first experience doing baptisms for the dead at the Timpanogos Temple. He really enjoyed being of service to those who have gone before.
This silly kitty has so much personality. He likes looking out my bedroom window at the bees flying around the bush right outside the window.
Lance got me a bike a while ago so I thought I should try and put it to good use when the kids begged to ride bikes to the library. Wow am I out of shape. I wasn't sure I was going to make it home alive. I had to stop and buy the kids some ice cream at the Legacy to try and delay the inevitable up hill trip home.
We had some strong rain and hail storms this summer - it was the wettest I remember in recent years. The kids had fun watching it come down in torrents and then went out and played in the puddles.
Here are a couple more silly pictures of our new kitty Mouse. He is a real character. So sweet and loving but so mischievous. The pug is pretty thrilled to have a friend in the household other than the kids and lavishes all kinds of love and licks on the kitten. Frankly it is a bit weird in my opinion.
Hannah and I were able to attend Mary's baby shower after Asher's baptism. It was fun to see family and spend some time chatting and catching up.
The Zeller's gifted this red bellied toad to Asher for his birthday. So far it is about the lowest maintenance animal that we have other than the fact that we keep loosing crickets in the house.
I didn't do much of a garden this year but the plants I did plant, with the exception of the onion sets, have gone like gangbusters. We have had way more peppers, squash and zucchini than we could possibly eat even if everybody in the family liked them - which they don't.
To celebrate the first day of school we tried out the West Jordan Brick Oven. It was just as tasty as the one in Provo!
One of Mouse's favorite things to do is to crawl up under my computer lap table and peek up at me - expecting to be given attention.
I was able to help out Asher's den leader by coming with her to take the boys to Thanksgiving point's new Museum of Natural Curiosity. It was super busy and it felt like sardines at many points but the boys had fun.
Asher is mad here because JJ poked him.
More and more squash! Lance cringes every time I go pick some more.
One Sunday we walked to the school grounds to get some exercise and walk the dogs a bit.
This boy loves his dog SOOO much.
Lately I have been Libby's babysitter whenever Missy needs me. Me and the Libbs have fun together. She calls me Momma, Nana, or Hannah.
Asher got to participate in his very first Pinewood Derby. He had a great time and got 3rd place overall.
