September

- Kendall is into science (and reading), so we got some caterpillars so we could watch the process of them turning into butterflies, and then we released them when it was time. She also made a giant "nest" of grass clippings at a soccer game. 

- Rachel has been loving volleyball and we even get to see Kennedy play sometimes!  Rachel has been juggling volleyball and soccer (with her team, Rogue) and she has been showing a lot of responsibility with her busy schedule and keeping on top of things. 

- We went with cousins, Gavin & Chandler to farm country at Thanksgiving Point.

- Nancy & Val got their mission call to Los Angeles (Public Affairs mission) and will be gone for 18 months starting in January.  They will be missed!

- Fall leaves ... duh!

- Carson is starting to love crafts and coloring. 

- Brandon and I went zip-lining at Sundance at peak fall colors with Brandon & Ali Henrie and Ian & Liz Mcdonald.  I was pretty nervous, but it was really fun!  

- Brandon dresses the part on top for his church zoom meetings! ha ha

- Brandon came hiking with me to horsetail falls.

- Nancy and Val were on the temple ground breaking committee for the Orem Temple, so we got to go over and pretend like we were there.  Naturally, Brandon brought his/Carson's clarinet.

- We got tickets through work to Governor's farewell party, and had fun at the Scera Outdoor Performance 

- Aquarium with Nana and cousins

Andrew turns 10

For Andrew's 10th birthday, we did two separate parties to keep germs to a minimum - one with cousins and one with neighborhood friends.  The boys all wore masks at the friend party so that Tanner could come for a little bit.  He requested an ice cream cake with red frosting.  This month he also got his braces on, which is funny since he wears a mask to school everyday.  

Carson - September

Now that the kids are back in school, me and my boyfriend are getting more one-on-one time together!  He has also started preschool at Miss Jaimie's which has made me like him even more!  We are also inviting Ezra Bennion over more often for playdates (and Ruby & Margo too).
