2nd Week of August
Here are some highlights from the 2nd week of August.
On Monday, August 7th the boys went to Conor's birthday party at KTR, "Midvale's Indoor Action Sports Playground." They had fun jumping around and playing.
Hudson going down the slide, jumping and rolling around.
Cousins: Cameron, Isaac, Nyles, Conor and Carter. Nyles and Carter jumping and playing.
Rob gave Nyles a new controller for the Nintendo Switch for his birthday. Hudson likes to pretend he's playing also. Later the boys enjoying a Popsicle and Hudson w/ a noodle on his belly.
Carter loves to snuggle w/ Piper. The boys went to the dentist and did great!
Steve had an infection in his eye; thankfully it got better.
Hudson loves to play and be outside. I let him "paint" with water on the walls, which he loves.
Silly Hudson pose while sleeping, and getting out of bed.
Friday, August 11th, we drove down to the Mount Timpanogos Temple for Chandler Lake's wedding/sealing to Megan. It was pretty hot, but we made it through!

Steve laid on the cement to cool off.
Quick family picture in front of the temple. Rob rode down w/ us as well.
Carter fell asleep on the way home. Hudson took a quick nap once we got home as well.
We then drove up to Midway to the Homestead for a ring ceremony. Megan's parents couldn't join us in the temple, so they wanted to have the ceremony. Brandon (Chandler's dad) officiated and discussed the covenants they made during the temple sealing. After the ring ceremony we had a yummy dinner.
We then had about 1 hour until the reception started, so we explored around the Homestead.
The boys climbed up a rope, and tried to go fishing in the pond.
We then walked up to the Crater by the Homestead. The Crater is a geothermal spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock located on the Homestead property. You can view it from up top so we climbed up the stairs to see it. The boys thought it was pretty cool.
Dance time at the reception. Hudson was the life of the party, and everyone wanted to dance w/ him!!!
Cutting the cake, then more dancing.
Nyles, Conor and Carter looking at the fish pond. Heading home after a long, but wonderful day.
On Saturday, August 12th we celebrated Nyles' 11th birthday! Singing Happy Birthday to him w/ a donut for breakfast. He got a Lego set and a case of shot gun shells. He was so excited to put it together; he couldn't wait!
After breakfast we went bowling. Carter won this time!
Dave picked up Nyles and Carter that afternoon and went and watched a movie called "Elemental" while Hudson took a nap. I worked on my Relief Society Lesson during that time.
That evening Steve took Nyles to a drone show. It was pretty awesome they said!
On Sunday, I gave my lesson in Relief Society. It was from the General Conference talk, “My Mind Caught Hold upon This Thought of Jesus Christ” by Elder Andersen. Elder Anderson says “My prayer…is that we will more consciously shape, strengthen, and secure this preeminent thought of Jesus Christ in the chambers of our soul, allowing it to eagerly flow into our mind, guide us in what we think and do, and continually bring the sweet joy of the Savior’s love."
