Week in Review

Ian is into looking good.  Trying new looks!

College week at Don's school.  We made him things to hang on his door.  All the colleges he attended or loves.  Of course Alabama is on top.

I ordered a new notebook.  I really love it.

Halloween candy came in from Grandpa Mart and Grandma Dorine.  The kids were so excited.

Happy Sunday!

Nevada Day Weekend

 So it is Nevada Day Weekend, which means no school for us on Friday!  Yay!  We were totally happy.  Nevada Day commemorates Nevada's frontier heritage and it's entry into the Union as the 36 state on October 31, 1864.  So to celebrate we went to the Cedar City Temple Open House.  Before a temple is dedicated to the Lord, an open house is held.  Anyone can go in.  So we decided drive up to Cedar City and see the temple. We didn't have reservations, but we got right in.  It was fun to be there with Ian.  The last time he was at an open house, it was when the Rexburg Temple was having an open house.  That was a long time ago. 

After that we went for a drive up to Brian Head.  It was so sad to see all the damage the big fire did.  Amazing to see how it could of destroyed more homes.  We went to Cedar Breaks.  It was so pretty, and it was obvious it had snowed a bit already!

Then we went home. We stopped in St. George to eat at the Pizza Factory.  It is one of our favorite places!

Week in Review

Fall is in the air, and every once in a while I get to see it here in Vegas. During this time of year I really miss back east, so I enjoy when I see colored leaves.  It makes me happy.

For college day this week, I wore UCONN.  I represented my home state.

We went to the temple on Friday night and I totally enjoyed walking around the temple while I was waiting for Don.  I love taking a few minutes to walk around the grounds and feel the great spirit that is there.  It was such a wonderful night and it made me fall in love with Vegas in October.

Happy Sunday!

Cross Country Update-Last Meet

Divisions is Ian's last cross country meet.  He had a great season this year.  All of his times have all improved.  He either got his personal best in distance or personal best on the course.  He had a very successful year.  We are really proud of him.  Now it is over and it is time to get ready for lacrosse.

Week in Review

This week for Family Home Evening we went around and Boo'd people in our ward.  We do this every year, and I don't think anyone passes it around.  Oh well, we have fun trying to get it started.

On Thursdays for the month of October we have to ear college shirts to school.  It is college application month. This week I wore my Alabama stuff.  Don liked that.

I made some pumpkin pancakes yesterday after the meet.  Yep, I am trying to get all into fall around here.

Some of my young women did the General Conference challenge that I give them.  I spent Saturday making cinnamon rolls for their rewards.  Not bad!

Sunday thoughts!

Cross Country Update - Lake Mead Invitational

This weekend we went to the Lake Mead Invitational.  It is held out at Boulder City, and this course is a true Cross Country course.  I mean for Vegas standards, it is rough. Ian didn't get his best time, but honestly, I don't think anyone did.  The JV boys came in 4th.  Not bad at all.
