October 2nd Week

This past week was a little more laid back.  Steve didn't have class officially, so he's been working on getting caught up in his classes (since he started 3 weeks later than everyone else).  He also went to a class on Tuesday and got re-certified for CPR.  He got all his immunizations and records submitted to SLCC, so he's all caught up on that now too.  He doesn't have class this week either as it's now "Fall Break," so he hopes to get all caught up by the weekend.

I went to a Stake Primary Leadership Training on Thursday.  We learned more about ministering in the Primary and how we can do that better.  We also learned more about what the new curriculum will look like next year and how Primary will function w/ only 2 hours.  It's definitely going to be an adjustment, but we're all excited for the changes and know the Lord is leading His Church through His Prophet at this time.

Saturday I was in charge of being there for the baptisms of 2 girls in our ward.  We decided to go as a family as well, which was nice.  The talks were short so the program was quite short overall.  It was neat to see the girls "glow" after their baptisms were performed and after being confirmed w/ the Holy Ghost.  I am so thankful for the gift of the Holy Ghost and the blessing it is in my life.

On Sunday after church we had dinner and then FHE together as a family.  It was a very cold day, so we spend the evening inside.  It was nice to be together as a family and spend time w/ one another.

Here are some other highlights w/ pictures from this past week:

We found this in our room as we were getting ready for bed.  Apparently one of the boys thought the tiger wanted to sleep in Steve's slipper, hahah.  Cute Nyles ready for picture day at school.

Steve worked to get LuDean's trees trimmed that were over the edge onto the sidewalk.  He was there one day when a city worker came over and said if they didn't get them trimmed she would be fined.  Luckily he was able to get them taken care of in a timely manner so nothing happened.  

All of a sudden we are having really cold temperatures.  It was barely 60 degrees as a high this past week.  As you can see we are getting snow in the mountains already and in the higher elevations areas like Park City and Midway.  I got my winter coat out this past week and gloves since it's quite cold waiting for the train sometimes, even for a few minutes.

Joann brought "leaves" over for the boys to play with one day.  

Nyles thought it was pretty fun to throw them and watch them fall down.  

Carter and Nyles have been having fun w/ the blocks this past week as well.

Since the temperatures have gotten so cold we brought in the last of our watermelons.  Carter and Nyles each carried in a personal size watermelon.  Again they were juicy just not really sweet.  Nyles and I still ate them all :)

Steve went over and put in 2 can lights in Dave/Joann's kitchen instead of their chandelier.  He's planning to go back and put in 2 more soon.  They sure are nice to have.  They give off good light and they don't hang down in your face.

Carter working on his penmanship w/ a HUGE pencil. 

Dave brought the ATVs over to our place to store while Carrie/Ryan work on getting their stuff out of his garage and into their new house.  Steve and Nyles are also planning to go deer hunting this Saturday w/ our neighbors, so they'll likely use them then.

The boys just had to go on a ride around the block w/ Grandpa!

While the ATVs are in our garage the boys just have to play on them everyday, pretending to drive them.  It's their favorite thing!
