Flu Clinics

I worked a lot of flu clinics this season. It was hard to balance work and school. The good thing is that some of the flu clinics were slow so I got my reading done for my women's health class and older adults class. 

Tag's Fall Soccer Season

Tag enjoyed playing soccer this fall. He had the same coach and most of the same teammates. They had a lot of fun hangouts, birthday parties, and play dates. They lost a game or two and tied a game so they were a little disappointed. Last year they won every game. They learned a lot though.

Hunting for Deer

I had an epiphany when I was at the thrift store. It's hard to find good things at the thrift store. You kind of have to go a few times before you find something good. Hunting is the same way. You have to spend a week or at least multiple days to find a deer. You can't just expect to get a deer on one day of hunting. I shared that with Marshall and James and told them they could hunt all week if they wanted. They needed to put more time in if they wanted to find a deer. Last year they only hunted for a day or two and were unsuccessful but it just wasn't enough time. 

This year, they got settled Friday night. They hunted all day Saturday and Monday. Then the next Friday they went back and planned to hunt all day and all day Saturday. Thankfully they saw a deer Friday mid day and James shot it. They were so happy! They did everything they needed to and got it off the mountain. They took it back to Midway and cleaned it and whatever you do for that. They got back Friday night in time for the ward party. I was grateful to not have to be solo at the ward party.

Lynnlee's Team @ BYU Soccer Game

Lynnlee's team went to the BYU women's soccer game. It was a cold night! Tag and Sienna went with Marshall. Cam's family went too. I stayed home to drive Kade to soccer and do homework. The game wasn't quite as fun as past years because they lost 0-3 or something like that. It is still impressive that Lynnlee has been going for at least 4 years with her team.

Rose's Lab @ Weber

I learned how to do injections and sutures/stitches at lab. It was another really fun lab! The time flew by! I got my own suture kit and practice skin. They didn't get us lidocaine though so I don't think I will be doing stitches on anyone anytime soon.

Fall Break

Fall break didn't turn out as planned. The girls and I were suppose to go to St. George while the boys went hunting. My car needed new tires and brakes so it was not cheap. Unfortunately life doesn't go as planned as we are learning to sacrifice a lot while I'm in school. We made the best out of it though and went to Grandma's house instead. We kicked off fall break with a stop at Krispy Kreme.

Then we all went to the hot pots. Kade and Tag came with us because hunting didn't start until Friday.

It was a cool and rainy day so it felt good to soak.

We had dinner at Dairy Keen and we saw the Oscar Meyer mobile while we were waiting. 

The boys were good to watch a boy movie upstairs while the girls watched a chick flick in the basement. 

I went running Friday and Saturday mornings. It was chilly! It's crazy how much colder it is in Heber.

Friday we met Betsy at old town Park City. We started at the top and walked down to the bridge and then back up the other side. We stopped in a few shops.

We stopped at an ice cream shop and got a scoop of ice cream. 

Then we drove to stores near the outlet mall. We shopped at a few stores and then had lunch at Zupas. It's so nice that they have gluten free and corn free options. Mmmm!

We finished at the Outlet Mall. Old Navy had a 50% sale so it was awesome to get winter clothes at half the price.

I've never been to Utah Olympic park and I've always wanted to go. Even though they were closing, we drove there just to see it. 

We bought a package of pipe cleaners at Michaels on Friday. Then we proceeded to make a lot of creations that night while watching Gilmore Girls and the next morning and basically all weekend.

It all started because we wanted to make these cute pumpkins. We had so much fun with the pipe cleaners!

Saturday morning we wanted to go to the Midway Bakery but it was closed. We went to Kneaders instead. Thankfully my mom had gluten free corn free cinnamon rolls from Bonnie so I had one for breakfast. Mmm!

Then the girls and I walked up Memorial Hill. It is such a nice and easy walk and a great view!

We really enjoyed our walk. It was perfect weather. We stopped at the thrift store on our way home. Lynnlee found a puzzle. Sienna wearing her new outfit she got from shopping.

Then she changed into a different outfit. We went for a bike ride around the neighborhood. I haven't ridden the tandem for awhile so I felt a little wobbly. 

Lynnlee rode the black bike. 

We had to get back home so Lynnlee could babysit. Sienna and I had a little date night. We went to FroYo. I found a gluten free corn free frozen yogurt. The worker was really accommodating and gave me the label for the yogurt so I could double check. It was pretty flavorless because it was no sugar added. Sienna was so happy that I could have some too so it was worth the lack of flavor. 

We went grocery shopping and then we went to a campaign party with our old bishop and a few other candidates running for city council. It was a fun party with chili, hot dogs, s'mores, camp fires, and the football game was on. I couldn't eat anything but it was fun hanging out while Sienna made a smore.

We headed back home and watched a movie together. I'm grateful I could have some one on one time with her.

Sunday we went back to Heber and went to church with Papa and Grandma Ruth. The boys went there Saturday night and stayed over and we all went to church together. Their ward was really good! Great talks in sacrament meeting and a great lesson in Sunday School. 

We had dinner and then we went back home because I had school on Monday.

Huge thanks to my parents for saving our fall break!

Rose's 20th Temple Anniversary

On October 15th it was 20 years since I received my own endowment. I was so happy to go and do an endowment that day. I felt the spirit so strong. I love the temple so much! If I didn't have work and school I would be a temple worker. One day down the road I will work in the temple again.

James's Region III Championships XC Race

James ran in region. It was at Art Dye which was the same place he had TwiKnight 2 weeks prior. His time was exactly the same! 15:38. He got 8th and was 2nd on his team. 

So many speedy runners in our region! 

Spanish Fork Cornbellys

Our realtor gave us tickets to Cornbellys in Spanish Fork. James had a game so he and Marshall couldn't go but I took everyone else. We hadn't been to this location and we also haven't been to Cornbelly's in a few years. It was interesting to go and see that my kids are getting older and growing out of Cornbelly's. We stayed for about an hour and walked around, watched the duck races, and walked through the corn maze. The girls went on a ride. The lines were too long for everything else. 

Dark clouds were rolling in when we left. A big rain storm came through with high wind and lightning so I was so happy we left when we did. 

I'm glad we could go and it was fun spending time together on Monday night.
