After each wrestling season the wrestlers in our family get to go to Rodizio’s! This is their reward for working hard at practice every day and trying to discipline themselves to hard work. The boys really look forward to this night out with Dad.
The Church made some new changes this year and all boys turning 12 this year were able to get the priesthood as soon as they were interviewed and found worthy! All Boys turning 14 could be ordained to a Teacher and boys turning 16 could become Priests!
So we had a big family gathering and these 6 on the couch (not Diego) were all given their priesthood ordinations!!
I can’t believe Packer is a Deacon just like that! and passing the sacrament! and collecting Fast Offerings. And just like that Benji jumped into the Teachers quorum where Ben is the advisor. These boys are awesome!
Ben got us tickets to the Concert at Temple Square! We went with Than and Erica and it was Amazing!
After the concert and the Kristin Chenoweth chasing and Street Nachos I had them drop me off at the hotel for sisters night with Kelsey, Megan, Mae, Shannon and Tommi!
We hosted our party on Saturday night! We had lots of Family and lots of Friends come!! I think we had 100 people! The weather was perfect and the Hot Chocolate was delicious. Stadlers won best seat in the house. Jana and Sean won everything else – not really but kinda. Millie won a gift card and bought the 1st Hotel Transylvania Movie. Another Successful Year!
On friday of Fall Break we went in the afternoon to Ben’s work. They served us lunch and we decorated cookies. We trick or treated and hung out. I can’t post our pics yet cause that’ll ruin the Halloween Reveal! Thanks SalesRabbit!
Are actually winning and playing well in the playoffs!!!
I don’t know much else about it but I know Ben is excited and I know Ben has worn all of his Brewers apparel and I know that it’s fun to see them keep winning (even as I wear my San Fran Giants Sweatshirt while I type this)!
We hung out with the Thals on Friday and Saturday before school started!
On Friday afternoon we took them to the pond to swim and dig for clay. And find dead fish, chase the ducks, and play king of the raft!
We fed the kids at the pond and then came home and got everyone ready for bed so that the adults could go out!
The 4 of us went out to Chubby’s! and let the big kids take care of the little kids. The kids had ice cream and watched a movie.
On Saturday Morning we made paper and tape boats and then went to find a river to float them down:
We had a couple of parks in mind that have a river running through them but… there is no water this summer! So we ended up back at the pond!
The boats only lasted a few minutes but the kids ended up on the water again and we had lunch at the pond and stayed mostof the afternoon.
We got everyone dressed for the demolition derby, grabbed Kong Kones and headed to the Utah County Fair. We wanted to see the animals and the Lego Exhibit:
Then we found some fair food for dinner and headed in to the demolition derby! We had about 50 people in our group this year! Us, Thals, Pete, Matt, Michelle, Dad and Wright kids, Kelsey, Shannon and Tommi!
The Derby ended in a 4 way tie: Michelle, Tommi, Caitlin and Ellie! Through a process of elimination, recounts and Rock Paper Scissors we were able to pass the trophy on to Ellie! Another successful derby! I need to ask them to start an hour or two earlier cause it always goes so late.
We parted ways with the Thal’s ending our 32 hour extravaganza hangout.
Ben surprised me with a super fun anniversary date. We went Friday and rented waverunners and spent the day and Night on Joels Floating Campground! It was so much fun. We just rode and rode and ate and chilled and rode some more. We camped out on the lake and just had a blast. Then on Saturday he invited all of my family out to join us! Kelsey and Ryan brought our kids and Shannon and Tommi and Mom and Joel came to hangout too! The days went way to fast. It was such a blast!
Getting on the lake and bringing everything over:
Meanwhile Our kids pulled weeds and created Lego creations for their chores :nd let Michael, Grandma and then Kelsey babysit them:
All Set Up and enjoying the FLOATING CAMPGROUND!!
Winding Down for the night:
Peaceful Morning before all of the boaters showed up:
AND THEN WE WENT AND BROUGHT OUR PEOPS OVER FOR SOME FUN!
The day went way to fast. We only had from about 10am to 3pm. Everyone had a great time though and we got the most out of our time out there for sure!
We stopped at Lambeau Field and AWEd over all of the cool PACKER stuff. We let the kids each pick one thing to buy. Benji: Sweatshirt, Packer: Cloud Pillow, Cali: Spot It and headband, Rose: Stuffed Dog, Raymond: Basketball, Millie: Barbie, Tiago: Funny Man Pillow, Jana: a shirt, necklace and 2 sweatshirts, Ben: jacket.
Family Lambeau Leap:
Ben in his Happy PLace!
