3rd Week of November

We had a busy week this past week w/ work and school.  Steve was able to go help w/ baptisms for the dead w/ the youth this week and I did initiatories another night though.  Here are a few other highlights.

Flashback--Nyles in 2015 (3 years old), then in 2019 (7 years old).

The boys thought it would be fun to have a fire in the backyard while playing outside!

Carter and Steve helped Dave put up a big inflatable snowman in his backyard.

 

Saturday morning we took the boys to make a free Frozen Olaf Lego Box.

That afternoon I took the boys over to the school playground for a little while to play. 

Nyles is getting so strong!

Cute Carter!

Getting dizzy!

And across the money bars.

And they had to roll down the hill of course.

Steve went out duck hunting w/ our neighbor Bo Jensen and his son Jayden.

They didn't get any ducks, but had a good time anyway!

I liked this analogy w/ popcorn!

A good reminder!

2nd Week of November

Here are some highlights from the week.

Steve made some "upgrades" to his boat.

He painted it to be more camouflaged and added other camouflage.

Friday Steve went out w/ Dave to Jordanelle to so some fishing.  They asked Nyles if he wanted to go, which he did, but he didn't want to miss his pancake pajama day at school.  His teacher also said they could bring a small stuffed animal to school, which was the final straw encouraging Nyles to go to school.  Though they didn't get many fish, they had a good time.  Carter enjoyed a ring pop while fishing w/ Steve and Grandpa Dave.

Grandpa helping Carter w/ the fishing pole.

Then snuggling up w/ Grandpa as the wind picked up.

And then he fell asleep.

They caught a big fish earlier, but it flipped off just as they were going to net it.  They caught a smaller fish towards the end of their trip though, so it was worth it :)

They then ran up to the cabin to put some things away.  

Carter took the opportunity to play in the gravel of course.

Happy boy!

Saturday Steve let me sleep in a little.  He and the boys cleaned up inside, then went outside and raked leaves.  Nyles was a big helper!  To pick up the last leaves I mowed the lawn as well.

Steve then cleaned Nyles fish tank and we switched the boys beds.  Nyles had the full bed and Carter had the queen bed, and since Nyles and his room are bigger, we decided to switch them.

Nyles w/ his new bed (our old set) and clean fish tank.

Carter's "new" bed.

Sunday we had a unique opportunity to listen to an Apostle, Elder Neil A Andersen at our stake center.  It was a great meeting and the Spirit was strong.  

After church we went over to Pauline's place for lunch.  Carter got a "new" Paw Patrol backpack from Ezra.  He also wanted to hold baby Lincoln again.  He kept telling me that he could put the binky in all by himself :)

 

We then went over to Herriman Park and let the kids play and run around for a while.

Carter loves the slides.

Nyles and Ezra played w/ swords.

Getting a spin.

Carter at the little kids playhouse.

Swinging together.

More swings.

Carter figured out the zip-line and thought it was awesome!

We then went back to their place to watch the young meeting about the new Church program for kids 8 and up.  The new program should be wonderful for the youth.  It will help them learn to listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and work on goals they set to improve their lives.

Good quote.

1st Week of November

Here are some highlights from the 1st week in November.

Steve went and helped Phill put in 4 can lights over their table.

 

They work!

Lights off ie like it was before putting in the can lights.

With the can lights on.  Let there be light!

Carter hung out w/ Stacie and her friend Lindsey and her girls.  They got ice cream :)

They also played in the leaves!

Nyles made a spider out of his play-dough.  So cute and creative! :)

Steve made some more camouflage for his boat.

On Saturday, the boys and I met Stacie/Phill and Carrie/Ryan and their kids at Lakeshore Learning in Murray to make fairy wings or dragon wings.  The kids had a blast making them.  

Nyles, Carter, Lynsie and London making their wings.  Conor made some too.

Carter w/ his dragon wings.

       

Now playing w/ magnets.

The boys playing w/ some toys in the store before leaving.

We then went over to Wheeler Farm.  Carter in a tree.

The kids playing on more tree structures.

Carter in the outhouse :)

Now on the cow train.

Now on the tractor.

Then playing by the stream.

Running back.  It was such a beautiful day, none of us wanted to leave, other than we hadn't had lunch so we finally did.

Stacie and Carrie trying on the fairy wings.

Silly boys in the outhouse.

While we were out, Steve went duck hunting w/ Rob at Utah Lake.

Rob waiting for the ducks.

 

Rob driving his boat.  Pretty scenery.

We painted the rock wall boards before leaving.  So when I got back I put the rock wall handles on the board and put it up to the playhouse.

The kids had fun going up and down the playhouse.

It's coming together now!

Sunday after church Steve took the boys over to Wheadon Farm while I made some cookies for some neighbors and families Steve home teaches (ministers).  After he got home, he went and delivered them.

Great insight.
