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.

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.

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.

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.
