So Behind

Sorry about not blogging for so long. It seems like one thing comes after another. My sister, Cara and her fiancee went through the temple on October 1st to receive their endowments. We were able to go. It was a lot of fun. It was also General Conference weekend so we stayed until Sunday. It was a lot of fun spending time with family. While there we went to a pumpkin patch. It was so much fun!

The following weekend Cara and Kincade were married in the St. George temple. Everyone stayed at my house and thanks to some wonderful friends, Cara's and our nieces hair looked great! After the wedding we had a luncheon at a local church. Everyone visited and had a good time during the meal. It was followed by the cake cutting. Needless to say, they decided not to "be nice". Cara was afraid of her car getting decorated so she left it in my garage. Shanelle knew where it was and decorated the windows with paint. They went to Florida on their honeymoon and have returned back to life, but now together. It was a beautiful ceremony. When they left to go on their honeymoon, the rest of us went out to Sand Hollow Reservoir. We played in the COLD water and three of us went out cliff jumping. It was scary, but thrilling all at the same time. Next time we're going to get life jackets to go out so everyone can go that wants to.


Following the wedding I got really sick. I was pretty much in bed for 2 weeks. I had an amazing friend pick some things up at the store for me. It was greatly appreciated. My stomach was upset and my head hurt so bad. I don't remember the last time I was that sick. I know it was all because I stressed too much and overdid it. Now, Brax is sick and has been for 4 days. I hope he gets better soon because he's so tired of just sitting in the house all day.

Other than the wedding and illness it's been just run, run, run. I helped teach a class at Pow Wow last Saturday and had a Relief Society Santa's workshop. I was gone from 7:30 am until 6 pm. I felt so bad that Brax was sick and Branden had to stay home with him. I think they had a good time though.

We had our ward Primary Program on October 24th and it went a lot better than I anticipated. My mother-in-law came down and we had a fun weekend. We went to Pirate Island with her, my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece. We had a lot of fun!
During Fall Break we went out adventuring with my sister-in-law, Kelly. We went to Staheli Farm where we went through three corn mazes and enjoyed some other things they had there. We didn't have time to go to the pumpkin patch, but we did that when we went to Richfield.

Other than everything listed above, I've been trying to hit sales to buy birthday and Christmas presents. I've been working on some presents for the past week and am excited for them to be done. I hope they are soon. I've been helping in Brax's class every other Tuesday. It's been a lot of fun. He gets really excited when he sees me walk into the class. He really is a good kid.



Branden is just doing what he normally does. He loves to go to yard sales on the weekends. He is also still working with the scouts. He enjoys it most of the time. He missed the opening of the pheasant hunt this year to stay home and watch Brax since I had meetings all day. He really is a good guy!

You, too, have been so busy. I've been missing you. One of these days, like you said, probably after the holidays, we MUST get together and do somthing!
