This picture below seems rather fitting of the past couple of weeks. We are trying to navigate our way through our fall line up. It seems a bit tricky.  Good things to remember through it all are helpful neighbors  that will listen to my reading kindergartener and try to help him to do/like homework.  Children being helpful...some more than others.  Fun pictures by Lucy. Writing your name on your arms just incase you forget it. (It is probably backwards but she has it down!) A lovely fall FHE picnic at the park. This little one navigated the patio tile steps with out injury or my suppervision. So happy that ended well and then she was off to explore more. Selfies to keep sassy demanding three year olds happy. A climbing everywhere baby which means she is healthy and well. If it is elevated from the floor she will try her darnedest to climb it.  Also Beth is walking. A couple days after turning 11months she got it. She had been able to do two or three steps for p...

Early Saturday morning I took Glen and Larry to the airport to catch their flight to Phoenix.  Glen went to an away game for BYU a few years ago and had thought it would be something his dad would like. They made it happen this year for the season opener against Arizona State.  They headed to Paige and John's to help pack the trucks after getting their rental car.  I think it would be cool to visit Glen's Nielson cousins at their houses since they have all been nice and visited us. It hasn't worked out so well thus far. At least Glen got to visit Paige and John at their house in Arizona even if I didn't.  Larry and Glen had a great time. They ate great food at Biscuits and Don Ponchos. The game was fun and BYU won!  Larry came home and started looking at the schedule for next year, he loved it so much.  Meanwhile back at the ranch, the kids and I were taking care of the Cranes and holding the fort down. My parents were out of town again, so bathing Roberta ...

I don't have too many pictures on my phone from the week. Partly because my phone memory is almost full so I have to be sneaky about how I take pictures.  There were good things that happened both pictured and not.  Some non pictured things that are good are-  There is finally another co- treasurer for PTA and we are finally on the bank account and getting trained a bit!  I got my visiting teaching done in August with a partner or at least her help. This hasn't happened in awhile but my goal is to keep it up.  Here are the pictured ones I got to go with some of the miamaids to Sister Maxey's house to do service for our YW activity. We helped clean her house and visited with her. She played the organ for us! Then gave us money and told us to get ice cream cones and bring her back one too. So we did.  We hired my brother to do some concrete for us. We are extending the south west pad by a few feet and then taking it down the length of the carport and garage a...
