Saturday soccer—tomorrow’s the last one 😊 It’s supposed to be freezing! Fortunately we’ve had pretty good weather most of the weeks…tomorrow could be the end of that! 
Isaac bought a motorcycle last week (which put me at the soccer fields with five kids) well really Cann had to be dropped off at basketball then just walked over to soccer after and luckily Isaac got back about the time mine and Tanner’s game started, he watched a little then took 4 of the kids home 👍🏻
Saturday we watched Sis Eyring’s funeral-which was excellent. And we had to test out that new motorcycle. I think all the boys showed interest and at least got on a motorcycle—so that was good. 



I guess I didn’t get a picture of Tann or Seth.
Then we stayed up too late watching football.  Utes and Cougs won so that made it worth it.😉

Sunday the Sorhus’ kindly had us over for dinner (they’re brave) we were late 😏 and we had to leave early to get Cann back for the worldwide day of testimony. But both Isaac and I watched that little quick movie and Cannon doesn’t know this but I got this sweet text from my friend that night : 

So that was Sunday And other than that…few pics of sis but I’m slip’n. 
Not much to report! 
Soccer practice Monday & Tuesday 
Church activities Wednesday
We did hang out with the Pettit’s Thursday. 
And now it’s Friday—time goes fast! 

This girl LOVES to read books…and put her brothers shorts on…😏



We started basketball with Tanners group today. I am extremely excited my friend Emily’s husband is going to help me! Another set of eyes makes a huge difference! 
Actually we play his soccer team tomorrow morning…we’ll see if we’re going to coach together… just kidding! 

And after practice today we hurried and ate dinner then busted it down to the trunk or treat. 
At first Sissy wasn’t sold on the old Big Bird costume…but she came around. 
I still can’t figure out collages on this phone so I’ll just have to throw a few highlight pics on:








I dunno 
I think that’s about it
Except I haven’t bogged about my favorite thing the Addster does right now. It’s just a nod, usually a grin, and a “yeah!” She says it all the time! It’s so cute and fun!
There was that and one other thing I was going to remember to blog about this week… Hopefully I remember the other thing next week!

Today the kids didn’t have school—the weather was perfect they played and played outside!





 Tonight was Cannons football banquet-he one the most improved in season award. Or something like that. (I’m hoping to get an screenshot of the coaches little slide show) And tonight we let him go to the football game…only I just walked in the door and remembered it’s blog night! 🤦‍♀️

(Only pic I have from the banquet…) 

So let’s see what else I can do real quick…because tomorrow Isaac is meeting a guy in Chillicothe to buy a motorcycle at 7:00, and hopefully he’s back before I coach soccer at 9:00. Cannon has basketball at 8:00-and Colt has soccer at 8:30. 
It’s going to be a little crazy! 

So the week…
Grama  took off for home early Saturday-we did the normal soccer thing and Isaac bought a new tool box. Look at all those wrenches! 
…then look at that pile of crud on the table behind—I’m doubtful that the tool box is magically going to fix the mess problem around here…but maybe it’s a start…let’s be optimistic and hope that! 

It seems like Saturday was busy in the afternoon too but I can’t remember why. 

Oh I have terrible but good news. The good news is a new stake is forming, the bad news is we’re not going to be in the Nauvoo stake anymore…I’m kinda sad about that—I have loved it. 

Running on the motorcycle track burm!

And helping make it! 

These two were wearing hats and glasses like Grampa! 

And I’m sad I didn’t get a better picture but we walked into Seth’s class Wednesday and there was a kangaroo! 
No joke!
Me the non-animal person was a little thrown off! Like-is that what I think it is??? 
Unbelievable! 
Some kids Aunt brought it. 
“It like a dog” she said 😳😳😳


Isaac wished he’d taken Seth in that day—sometimes he does in Wed but this week he had to work. Oh and his school had their big accreditation thing this week—they passed—oh good. 🤷‍♀️

Really that’s about all I have!—which is good cuz I’m pretty tired 😉

Blogging from my fancy new phone tonight 😊
Saturday morning Soccer—it was cold but Grama and Terry are troopers.

Tanner gets mom to coach but not take pics.

I find all kinds of pics on my phone I was going to make a collage of evidence but so far I can’t get my collage app to work…guess you’ll just have to trust me. And it’s only day one but I’m not so good with the troops playing with my new one. 

I wanted Sunday smiles…she just wanted to ride the motorcycle—we compromised. 😉



Fun with Grama! 





And I was actually glad they did this with their parade candy…cuz it ultimately ended up on the garbage. 

Tuesday I went to Cannons game in Chillicothe the boys just did their normal thing, Addi loves getting in on it too! oh plus a squirrel burial, thanks Belle 🙄







While Isaac (and sister) worked on THIS! They made a (mini) motorcycle track in our yard! 





Cannons team won so he was happy-it was the best I’d seen them play! 

Yesterday since I have Grama to push the button, I tortured these people with family pics 😍😍😍
I don’t feel like I’ve looked at them close to really have a favorite but I have some good options. I really like these people! And I loved doing them at the cemetary. 
If I thought I’d actually get a Christmas card sent out this year I’d hold out and not post them…but since that’s doubtful I’ll throw a few on here. 
The road to Rizzy’s behind us…pretty sure the it’s a representation of the covenant path 😉

Daddy’s girl and Mama’s boys









Check out that sunset…it’s pretty enough I could put it on my wall without out our family (I wish our spacing was a little better but…that sunset is the real deal!) 


Sometimes mom makes ya scrub the walls if you write on them. (I know I have a similar picture of Cannon when we lived in Mississippi) 

Bout it! 

Oh and Cannon was student of the week. That was his last football game but basketball tryouts are next week! 



Friday, October 6, 2023

I let Cannon go to the football game by himself tonight—and take my phone. So it’s 10:00 before I am even started blogging. Ug! 
Don’t expect much. 😉
Best pic from Soccer:


Tan had a great game though-2 goals! 
And then it was Conf! 
We made cinnamon rolls ate treats and went to a bbq before the evening session. 



It was a busy day!!
A couple pics (a week or so old) I snagged off Isaacs phone! She LOVES 4 wheeler rides but fell asleep—and the missing tooth look is actually just mud.🤦‍♀️



Most of the pics on my phone this week are of our new conference train. We’re excited to study and learn more. 
This girl’s gunna keep up! 

We always like it when the Armor of God comes up in Come Follow Me! 

Colt was student leader of the month!! (Way more fun than when Cann won this award and it was Covid) 



This evening we hit the homecoming parade!

 

When Cannon’s float came by I hooped and hollered and threw a ton of recess fast break candy bars back at them. They loved it. Maybe next year I could volunteer to make them a parade sign??? 



And Grama and her friend Terry got here today! So far she’s having better luck with Addster than Grampa did…that’s  not saying much! 


Bout it
22 min start to finish on the blog—I’ll call than a win even if I didn’t do a good job 😉
