Fall goings on

After a stake dance, we had a bunch of the teens over - they had a lot of laughs as they played Jackbox for a while.

Hermana Christensen! Arizona Tempe Spanish Speaking mission - with her trainer, and friend from Minnesota, Hermana Bjorkman. It is fun to receive letters from Hermana Christensen!

The boys enjoyed a late season swim.

Dani and Papa, doing their favorite thing - getting ice cream! This time, it was a Chick-Fil-A milkshake.

Dani fixed her hair a little differently and was looking super cute getting ready for church!

Conference Sunday always sees Jared hard at work making breakfast! We hosted Nana, Papa, and Beth Cowperthwaite.

Nice fall days often see the boys in the backyard playing football. Jared will join them in the evenings after work

but these three boys are often running around the backyard playing football!

The kids also spend a lot of time on the trampoline. Jared even got a picture of Kate, which she tried her hardest to block over and over!

 

LOOK! I AM MATCHING OUR PLATES

Claire had a hilarious realization while emptying the dishwasher

 

I hate homework

We are not nearly far enough into the school year to be having strong feelings against homework from our new 2nd grader!

 

Fall Sports - part 1

Claire's friends Maddie and Ellie were at the Loveland meet.

Kate's team was the Cookie Monsters. She had a great coach and they played well.

The fall schedule is a busy time - Jared and Dani coordinate schedules and make it to as many meets as possible. 

Jacob had a challenging season - he was hoping to break some of his personal best times. He worked toward it until his last race when he finally did by 2 seconds - 18 minutes 54 seconds at the GMCs at Voice of America Park.

Claire's team has a great culture! Their season includes a campout and a trip to Cedar Point. We are so glad Claire is part of the team.
