GIRLS WEEKEND for the MOM!!!
I had such a fun getaway with my mom and sisters and a niece! Kelsey picked up Megan and I at my house around 3:00pm on Thursday, then we picked up Jana in Provo and headed to St. George! We met up with Mom, Christy and Tracie at George’s! There was a wait for dinner but it was yummy food and so good to be togther. We picked Mal up after dinner and headed to our Condo – The Lofts at Green Valley. We picked beds and got settled and stayed up LATE chatting.
On Friday we got up and played PICKLEBALL all morning until noon! We all played and rotated partners and had a blast even though Kelsey dominated the singles. After pickleball Trae and I hit the hot tub and we all showered and then headed out for the afternoon! We went to Nielsens for Custard and then we shopped at Christensens and the book Store. Megan got sick and headed home to rest. Shae came down right in time for dinner at the Pizza Factory! After a delicious dinner we ALL headed to the Tuacahn to watch The Sound of Music! It was cold but FUN. Shannon was at the Condo waiting when we got back and We ended the night chatting in the hot tub!
On Saturday we got up and played Pickleball again! So Fun! and then we all swam and hot tubbed and some of us even got to read our book by the pool! Then we got ready and headed out for some Taco Bell and then more custard and shopping. And then Viva Chicken for dinner. After dinner we headed home to play Nertz! and we had to take another ice cream break since it was Tracie’s birthday! We stayed up talking and playing and not wanting to end our vacation.
On Sunday Jana and I headed home early to get back for church. The Cali crew adn then the rest of the Utah crew headed out. I had such a great time with my people. I enjoyed being with each person there and felt love from and love for all of them. It was fun sharing a room with my mom and just being together without any worries or responsibilities! Let’s do it again soon!

Winterizing
We took the pool down. But we couldn’t take the pieces apart. It’s leaning against the house in the dogs area – not sure what to do with it but we LOVED using it all SUMMER!
Finally Finished
It took the ENTIRE week to finish the puzzle! Monday to Monday! It was fun for me to work on everyday BUT I was slacking on my mom duties and it was a hard hard puzzle.
SMILES of JOY! We Finally Did It!!!

General Conference Weekend
Ryan and his Girls got to the house late friday night/saturday morning. We hung out at our house on Saturday and played with these guys inbetween conference and soccer games. Annie got to stay with Ryan for the weekend. Porter, Gavin, and Claira got to hang out all day Saturday – they were SO EXCITED to be here and to see their siblings! (heartbreaking)
Kelsey and I watched Womens Conference in the basement with all of the girls!! New YW’s theme and classes!
On Sunday we went to Joel and Megans for Crepe breakfast and Nacho lunch! We got to see Sean and Jana’s new house!
I love this picture of Dagny and Millie coloring with the same look on their faces! So cute! We had everyone over for Sunday dinner that night and that was a Conference Weekend wrap up.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS
Combined Party this year for the birthday girls! They decided to do a night games party! We gathered LOTS of 3rd graders on Friday Night and took everyone to the school for Tag and Capture the Flag!
After night games we did cake and presents and then let the girls go out for Laser Tag or stay in the basement if they were cold. Rose said it was the best party EVER so – SUCCESS!
Discovery
enjoying the fall weather with friends. Aubree and Skye and Max had us come over for a few minutes and say hi!
Cali to Clear Creek
Cali had her 5th grade overnighter! Luckily she has all her besties in her class so she got to go with and bunk with Mia and Mya and Taylee! She had fun at the ropes course and with Ms. Myntti. And she came home exhausted!
