September 2019

Clark went with us to see Aunt Merralee and had a great time on the rocking horse.  Molly started her first day of 2nd year Preschool on Sept. 4th.  Love these two 4 year olds!

We took Ryder to the fair, he loved watching the train for a long time. He also loved playing in the kids free area.  The state policeman at the train display gave him a state trooper hat.  Love this 4 year old too!

Sept. 6-8.  We went to Garden City, Utah.  Nikelle, Molly and Hallie rode with Blake and I.  Jared came later after work. Molly and Hallie were ready to go when Grandpa came to get them.  Ryder was here and wanted to push Hallie in the stroller while the boat got ready to go.  Hallie loved sitting in her turtle floaty and Molly and Ryder loved pushing her around in it.

Sept. 7 - The guys took the boat out on Bear Lake for a while, but it was pretty windy so they didn't stay long.  So, we went back to the pools, even Hallie got in the hot tub for a bit. The reason we went to was to attend my nephew, Joseph Leifson's wedding open house, and for some reason, I didn't take any pictures!

Cute Hallie girl being so big and learning to sit up by herself.

Sept 12 - 14.  I took a little trip to Manti, Utah with my parents and sister-in-law, Julie.  We were able to attend the beautiful, unique Manti Temple on the 12th.  We stayed the night in a little motel in Manti.  Then on the 13th, we witnessed the marriage of Joseph and Akaila.  I'm so bad at taking pictures, these are the only ones I have! The bottom right is Joseph and my nephew Adam Taylor.  Adam came from South Carolina! After the wedding we drove to Highland, Utah and went to the reception that night. We stayed the night in Lehi, Utah and came home Saturday morning.  It was a nice little trip.

We went to Texas Roadhouse with Jared and Hallie.  Hallie thought she was so big to sit in the booster chair and eat mashed potatoes.

Ryder is almost addicted to this basketball game.  He's got pretty good at making baskets and gets so excited when he gets a "buzzer beater"!

Just a boy going down all three curvy slides.

Sept 20-21. Annie and Molly had a sleepover at our house before going to the Princess Party in Rupert.  They loved having some girl time, and being silly with Grandma's glasses.

Sept. 21 - Blake's 64th Birthday! All the kids love singing Happy Birthday and blowing out the candles.  

After the cake and candles, everyone had fun playing, Hallie loves the track and the cars. I'm not really sure what Courtney and Jared are playing. 


Ryder, Randy and Blake playing some more basketball.  I love to go to the temple, and I love it when the sun shines on Angel Moroni.  

Sept. 28 - Some of us went bowling at the Pindale Lanes in Blackfoot.  Jared, Blake, Nikelle, Ryder and Molly had a great time bowling.  Hallie, Courtney and I were great cheerleaders.  Hallie learned to say "Yay".  

After bowling, there was some good Hallie time and some good hot tub time.  Nikelle felt very cool in my shirt and Jared's swim trunks.
