Long time no blog

Hi again little blog. So sorry for neglecting you. I have taken lots of pictures and kept plenty busy. I just haven't got anything uploaded yet.

5 or so things that happened this week:

1. Brynn had her little buddies over for a sleepover and by all the giggling, I think they had a blast. The High School Musical theme and gift bag was a hit!

2. KateLyn and Ryan and their friends Chance, Hayden, Riley, and Mada went to a corn maze on Sat. afternoon. I think they had fun. The boys were insistent on finding all of the landmarks within the maze and getting their cards punched and the girls only cared about collecting dried corn and finding ladybugs. They were funny. I am glad I tried the corn maze thing, but I doubt I would do that again. It just wasn't that exciting to me. Let it be said that I shouldn't be allowed to lead kids around through a maze. My sense of direction is terrible. I should be ashamed of myself as a scout leader should really be good with a compass.

3. Sunday was pretty quiet thankfully. The kids are practicing for the Primary Sacrament meeting program. I feel badly for the brand new Primary Presidency having to put this altogether.

4.Ryan was sick for a good part of the week with strep. I clean with disinfectants, I use hand sanitizer, so WHY are my kids getting so sick already. It's really frustrating.

5. Thursday we took the cub scouts to Reed's Dairy for a field trip. Our theme for Oct. is "Down on the Farm." Yippy Skippy! It was a big effort between the three of us to get the 10 scouts around the farm without getting hurt or lost, but we did it! I think they had fun looking at the baby calves, (Zachy loved that)the cows, goats, sheep, chickens, and an adorable miniature horse and her colt. Zachy has a huge coat that I call his Abominable Snowman coat. He was too unafraid of the animals and got a little too close to the fence where the baby mini colt was and it chomped down onto Z's coat. Zachy thought it was hilarious. I was just glad it was the coat he got ahold of.

We are heading to Wyoming this weekend for Tilly's baptism. Sometime's I forget her real name is Chantilly. She's Amy's 2nd and we love her tons!






Today was great because I got a surprise in the mail from my friend, Sherelle. It was a copy of the new Making Memories book, A Season of Joy. I was so excited to get it! I won it in a drawing on her blog. Thanks so much, Sherelle! You are the best! I can't wait to devour it.
