Memories…

After I got all the clothes sorted, Christopher thought I should tackle my stuff in the garage next.  Ugh again.  But to be honest it was really fun to walk down memory lane of high school and growing up.  As much as I hated high school, I really did make some awesome memories. 


Then some cute family pictures……

I texted these pictures on our family texting thread and mentioned how Dad looks so much like Pres. Uchdorf.  It’s really the hair and the glasses.  As I was talking to dad later that day (who claimed he didn’t look like Pres. Uchdorf) I texted him this picture….

Dad said, “That’s a great picture, but who is the bald guys sitting next to me”.  DAD!!!  That’s PRES. UCHDORF!  Now he thinks he kinda looks like him.   He kills me!

Conference Weekend

I don’t know why I think I’m going to get so much done on conference weekend.  I figure I’m home for at least 4 hours Saturday and Sunday, might as well tackle a huge project.  It’s normally making a blanket, but this  year Christopher had a special request….sort all the kid clothes in the garage.  Ugh.  I had put it off long enough.  It was time.  Here is what I was dealing with..

Nightmare right?  So of course I needed a break…so I made cinnamon rolls…another conference tradition….with a super cute helper..

Then back to the mess I had created.  Two days later there are still clothes everywhere and it had taken over the kitchen, so for FHE we took the kids to dinner.  Of course it ended like this….

but in all my failures conference weekend (and a few days after), I at least made one kid happy by finding these…..

Z even wore his soccer shoes for days afterwards and took his ball everywhere.  Let’s just call that a successful weekend.

Zack…and goodbye to our house

just gets very tired when the kids have their Friday night movie night.  Chris and I came home from our date to find this cuteness….

And we sold our house today 9/30/16. It was a bitter sweet moment.  We loved that house.  I hope the new people love it as much as we did. 

Hurricane Matthew Weekend aka Columbus Weekend

We had some very exciting plans with the Hiltons for the three day weekend that fell over Columbus day.  We were going to go camping in Asheville, South Carolina and play with cousins for the whole weekend.  I was a little nervous about the “camping” part….but after some Facebook advice I was ready to go!  Then hurricane Matthew hit.  With all the crazy weather we decided to pull out at the last minute and quickly find a plan B.

Christopher is the king of pulling together trips and before we knew it we were in the car, off on an adventure….a surprise adventure.  First stop?  Digging for fossils!
