September 2019

Summer days are ending.  Abby loves to have Ella sleep over.  Abby also loves her tiggie and her blankets.  We did have a family sleep over at the beginning of the month.  We slept under the stars - some of us even slept in the hammocks.  We love our Dad who makes our lives a little more exciting.  

 We do love our cousin time.  It's fun that the boys had so many boy cousins born together and same with the girls.  We enjoy the Harston cousins next door.  Ella and Sophie get to school every morning together.  I think Ella has pulled every single one of her teeth on her own.  Something I never did.

 I got to do some art work in church.  I was so proud of my creativity.  I love the notes I get from Abby all the time.

Tyler competed in a bike race. He has had a good season.  Darren has got to coach him with his Middle School team.  

 Darren keeps plugging away at the outdoor kitchen.  With winter around the corner he has to get it done.

Ella started middle school and having 6 classes with 6 teachers is a lot.  I have enjoyed learning 6th grade math and science all over again.  The moon unit was really interesting. We had to look at every night for 30 days.   Abby was fascinated by it also.  So she drew her own diagram.  

My Dad and my Mom- they are my super heros. I love my mom and my dad. They are awesome because they help me with chores. Love Abigail.  (Darren always helps Abby with the dishwasher... He's the nice parents!)

 

Family dinner at my parents.  We had a nice musical talent show also.  It was really touching to hear Jenny and Grace play a beautiful song together- piano and violin. My dad has been making cards for the everyones birthdays.  The one to Tyler has been one of my favorites.  

Love where we live.  A quick run up to the bridge in the morning. 

Florida - Part 2- The Beach

 It was so fun to go to the Beach in Florida.  We stayed at a beautiful rental house on Cinnamon Beach.  We had lots of room for everyone.  We finally got to meet our sweet Verena.  We played at the beach and at the pool.  We had wonderful food that Whitney helped plan and shop for.  We played games and had sleepovers.

After two nights we did go back to Jason and Whitneys home for Sunday dinner.  We had a come follow me lesson and games.  We really enjoyed going to Seths old mission area and going to Sacrament meeting at a ward he use to teach at.
