Week in Review...


Last week Ashlyn got asked to Homecoming and this is how she answered, so cute!


Ashlyn had a fun halloween party last night with her friends...




My parents are loving their church history tour, here they are in the Nauvoo temple visitors center...




On Friday Rick took 1/2 day off and we went to the lake. It was perfect weather and the girls had fun...



I enjoyed swimming in the lake too...

On Saturday there was a solar eclipse, it was cool to see the shadows it created...












Jacob set up his projector in the front yard on Monday night for a movie outside with our neighbors. They tried to watch the new Haunted mansion movie but the screen kept falling and the light across the street was too bright, so we moved to the backyard but we weren't able to connect to the internet quite as well but the kids still had fun...
Ashlyn has been working on this really hard class all week for fall break so we wanted to make sure we got her out for walks...


I got a new grooming kit and it vacuums as it grooms! It's the coolest thing and made grooming so much easier. Kyler's all done, now I need to groom Rusty. 









Rick and I went to Chili's for a dinner date and it was yummy!

Ashlyn's cute costume for her party...



My parents were able to meet up with ricks parents and they gave them a tour in Kirtland! So cool!





Amish school house...














Ashery...
So cute!

It was a pretty laid back fall break for us, with no traveling. Jacob went to a mountain man rondezvous on Thursday-Saturday and he came home exhausted and happy. So glad that he was able to go. Ashlyn worked on her class and Abby and I hung out at home, I got to read lots of books and clean the house. It was a great break for us. Now back to school tomorrow!

Week in Review...

Ashlyn's drawings...



Ashlyn got asked to homecoming!! So cute! She got asked by a guy that she met at FSY this summer, he doesn't even go to her school but he saw her performing in the color guard at his school and he texted her to see if she had been asked to homecoming yet.....so cute!!







Rick took Abby on a dirt bike ride, she loves it!









My parents are on a big tour of church history sites, here is Joseph Smith's family cabin where he grew up....





















 Jacob gave the lesson at church today and did a great job. Ashlyn's color guard came in 1st place at their competition last night! The band came in 2nd, and they had a great first competition. Ashlyn has started taking iron gummies and her headaches have drastically reduced. We are so grateful!!

Week in Review...











Yesterday Rick and Jacob took a tour of Rob's new store he bought. He'll be performing car estimates for insurances and doing auto body work.











I got Abby's new school picture and when I went to put in her new picture I couldn't help but look at how grown up she's gotten since starting school...4th grade has been a good one so far...
she's a cutie...

 We have enjoyed listening to conference this weekend. I especially loved Elder Ballard's talk from the heart about the Prophet Joseph Smith and Emily Belle Freeman's talk about our relationship with Christ and how our pace or place on the path doesn't matter as much as we are progressing along the path towards deepening our relationship with Christ.
