November

Annie and Kate ran a 5k for Girls On The Run.  David and I went with them; it was a very cold, great race!  We had to hurry back for a taekwondo test for Annie.

 

Annie got invited to an ice skating party for her friend Lucy; while we waited, we visited a mermaid at the aquarium!

Annie's Birthday!  Our little Annie is 9.  She had a roller skating party a few days before her birthday, and on her birthday, she wanted to go to Chick fil-A for lunch, and go ice skating after school.  Our neighbor Porter came to give some skating tips.  We had a great time celebrating!

  

 

 

 

Mason made a catapult launcher for youth night and he hated his, haha.  I took Kate and her friend Evelyn out for ice cream one evening.

 

Grant and I always like getting donuts on Wednesdays!

David's back hurts off and on, and walking is something he can do occasionally that doesn't make it flare up.  We thought this was fun to walk through one night by our neighbor's house.

THANKSGIVING!  Mason felt pretty sick once we landed, Annie was sick the next morning, and the both of them were quarantined in bedrooms the whole trip.  Bummer.

 

 

  

 

A rare time where we go out to dinner as a family.  Mod Pizza for the win.

 

October

At the beginning of the month, I went to a ladies retreat in Phoenix with my good friend, Jessica.  It was so lovely!  We did yoga, life coaching classes, painting, ate good food, went swimming, and celebrated each other's lives.

Annie went on a field trip to the zoo, and Julie, Grant and I went to the zoo as well with the McHenry! (different day)

I invited a state rep candidate to come visit our neighborhood (he didn't win, boo)

Annie, Julie, and Grant came with me to a Harper get-together in Park City to watch BYU Homecoming game (they lost, boo).  It was so busy everywhere we went, lots of driving around, tired kids, but the kids had so much fun playing with cousins.

 

 

 

 

We went to the Fun Farm!  The kids had fun at the playground, giant slides, train, carnival games, seeing farm animals, corn pit, jumping pillows, etc.  It was so fun to have Grandma Yates there with us, too!  We also went to Science City together. 

 

 

  

 

Soccer season was a blast!

 

Happy Halloween!  Trunk or treat, porch crawl, etc.

 

 

 

We had a great day of leaf playing with neighbors :)  And Grant loved going to a birthday party at Fun Run for his friend, Jacob.
