Soccer

We played.  It went.  Molly liked it by the end, though she still didn't want anything to do with the ball.  Jack insisted on not liking it 'til the end, even falling sound asleep in my lap for the last game.  Oh well. They looked cute in their pink dragon uniforms.

Baby Preslee Blessing

On Labor Day Sunday we headed north to participate in Preslee's baby blessing.  It was a good day and the kids had fun playing with all their cousins for a few hours.

Parker and T.H.E. Mission

Our good buddy cousin Parker left on his mission. He is headed to T.H.E. Mission . . . . Or for the rest of us it is called the Texas Houston East Mission and covers the gulf area of Texas and Louisiana. He gave an excellent talk at his farewell and is going to be a great missionary. We will miss him making us laugh for a couple of years, but we're proud of him for going on a mission.

Salsa and the Basement

Once again we had oodles of tomatoes in our garden. I made 3 batches of salsa and it is delicious!

Our basement is coming along . . . Very slowly.  The framers finished and then the electrician finished.  Now it is our turn.  We are working on insulation and have 2 giant stacks of sheet rock in our garage ready to go.

"Vacation"

On the Sunday before school started, I was feeling a little left out. My parents and my sister had all gone to Yellowstone to fight bats and visit Old Faithful. We had stake conference and decided that after we went to that, we would go on a little "vacation" ourselves. 

We headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon and stopped briefly at Silver Lake. We went over Guardsmen Pass to Midway. We stopped at the Homestead and wandered around. We ate chicken fried steak at Chick's Cafe in Heber City.

We came back home to get ready for school the next day.
