Friday, October 7th-

This morning Ryan showed his class a little presentation on underwater volcanoes using cold water and hot water. It was super stressful getting it ready but it turned out so great. It was a serious relief to have it over with though.

Tonight Silas and I finally went to the temple. It has been longer than normal due to the temple being closed for a couple weeks in September. We did initiatory and I really enjoyed it. There are so many great blessings promised during that ordinance. It gives me the strength to keep on keepin' on!

We had time to get dinner and then run to Costco. For dessert we got a Costco cheesecake and ate a couple pieces of it in the car. It was pretty silly and yummy!


Saturday, October 8th-

This morning was Grant's last flag football game. He is SO fun to watch. Grant's team played great and won by 2 points. I don't really keep track but when someone asked the ref at the end what the score was, 20-22, it made us realize that Grant helped win the game! If their extra point is a pass, they get 2 points and Grant caught the pass for one of their extra points!! He also was right there ready to get flags off the other team.

I got a great photo of him with his face determined. He's a hard worker and I'm proud of him!!

We spend the next few hours doing some of our normal Saturday stuff. This week we started a new chore chart thing that includes earning their computer time so they were working hard to earn extra points before it was their turn. It seemed to work out pretty well although they didn't clean a ton during the week.

While they were computering and choring, I went on a crazy run. I thought I had figured out where I was going but it didn't work out so I ended up having to walk 20 minutes from where my run ended. It was really fine though because I got a good walk and listened to a Conference talk.

Tonight we ditched the kids and went with Josh and Tina to an SUU football game. It was a GREAT game. Both teams had great defense so the first quarter was just back and forth with the ball and I was getting a little worried but then we started scoring and there were some awesome plays. SUU won 24-3!

Beautiful sunset

Love me some football!

He cracks me up! He is trying to hide his double-chin
