September 2018

A parent brought Ruby Snap cookies for the coaching staff at the pre-region meet. 

Best. Day. Ever. 

Meet the Team night. Took Jaxson (who was more interested in playing mini soccer), Madi, and Elise. 

 So Elise REALLY wanted to get a photo with Abby Smith. But by the time we got there and found where she was at, they had already rotated her. It was THE END OF THE WORLD for this 4 year old. So when we went to get her autograph, I mentioned how we came from Ogden and how we missed her photo opp, and Abby jumped up and took a photo right there. 

Jordan wants a perm.. so we foam curled it so he could see what it's like.. his hair was too short to see any difference.

City/County...

 JV girls race. 

 Varsity girls race. 

 Boys Varsity race.

 Our boys WON!!!! We've haven't taken the championship in 30+ years.. always a bridesmaid but never a bride for sooo many years. And it couldn't have happened to a better group of boys!

Hiking!

Crazy puppy..

Aunt Marj came for a visit. 

More cross country!!

 Torch Run!

Jordan's present came early via the theater departments fundraiser.. 50lbs of potatoes!

Movie night at my parents watching the new Jurassic Park movie. Some parts were scary but luckily Elise had Uncle Derek. 

More cross country!! Park city invite!! We pulled out most of the varsity kids to be ready for region or else Jared would have buddies with him. 

  Fall is looking good!

Aggie Invite Sept. 1
Kinda a big deal for our team.

We had 3 boys make the top times ran in their grade groups.

 Jessica placed top 10 in girls varsity and ran top time in her grade.

 3 boys placing top 10.

 This is a big deal for our team.  It's been a while that our boys team had brought home a first place trophy. And beating a lot of 5/6A schools was also a big deal.

 When MileSplit interviews your team... here's their video

Photos..  Videos..

 We're so proud of all the kids hard work!

Music in the Mountains

My friend Lisa joined me up at Powder Mountain for a free concert.

 It was amazing! These artists were very into their work, and the passion was palpable.  Their body movements and facial expressions were the best!

 I wish I got a video of Ben Russell singing one of his own songs. His voice was very folk-y but oh the emotion he had put into it! I would've bought his music but he only had vinyl records.

 Cows.

 Lisa wanted to go to The Greenery for dinner.  The food was ok other than some cross-contamination from their "Mormon Muffins". I had ate everything besides the bun with the onions on it (the onions were consumed with the burger).  But when I went to eat the bun to see what it tasted like, my mouth started to get the funnies.  It wasn't that bad of a reaction, only minor swelling and a couple of hives.  When we were checking out, they offered us the muffins as an apology for their kitchen staff's unprofessional behavior and the the wait staff making us feel pressured to hurry eat and leave (we arrived at 7:50 and left at 8:30, they close at 10 pm).  I asked what was in the muffin, which includes walnuts, so we turned the offer down and it made sense why my mouth started to have a reaction. The Pickle was amazing though, and they didn't skimp on the bacon or the chips.

Tuesday Sept 5
Mega fire on the mountains by the "U" in Uintah/South Ogden. You couldn't even see the mountains.
This is down in Salt Lake the next day.

 Down 84..

 Few days later on Friday my plane flew over the area..

 The next week even after lots of rain, you can still see the red stain from the fire retardant.
Thankfully no mudslides.

Thursday September 14
Field trip to Bountiful for the constitution fair.

Same Thursday.. Torch Run

Saturday September 16
Went to Elise's second soccer game (first time for us to watch though)

 We became "That Neighbor"...

 Jordan and I basically hung out eating all night and watching the RSL game. Madi & Elise were at the state fair with my parents; JeNae, James, and Jaxson were at the RSL game.

Sunday naps and forced snuggles.

Sept 18
Took my Science class to the Weber River trail to do some service for Shauna's college class.

My Vacation Races hat finally came and wearing it makes me look like a teenager.

We got a super cold week where we got snow on the mountains and we all thought Utah forgot how to do "Fall".

 But Ragnar was enjoying the extra snuggles.

Jordan being Jordan.

While checking out the SLC cemetery for a possible Halloween activity...

"My Girls"

Ran out of eggs (surprisingly) for some bread, so chia seeds it is! 
Other than a different texture it was still really good.
