September 2023

 

September started with our tradition to go to the Cooke's cabin for Labor Day weekend. 

Floating the Green river is always a good time!

Airsoft wars are another tradition we have added.

Everyone was in awe at the size of Mark's head when he tried on the coonskin cap.

We finished the trip with a dinner at the lodge. It was kind of fun. We were out in their tent and a huge storm blew through as we were eating.

Homecoming week about killed me, but somehow I am still alive.

I couldn't give much time to Timmy and Brian during those first few months of school. I am glad they are able to take car of most things on their own and that Mark took over.

Grandma Joyce turned 100!

We opened the teen center at the school.

September was one of the hardest months of my life. I hope after doing Homecoming one time and now with the help of my co-advisor September will be easier in 2024.

August 2023

We started August with our little guy's one year celebration. Sunny and Luke know how to celebrate! It was very fun to celebrate that kiddo! 

Mark got a little fishing in.

My work at school began! Not only was I teaching Geography to over 200 ninth graders, but I was now officially drowning in Student Government advising duties and craziness! So much had to get done and so much happened!

Mark and contractor Chad continued working on the boy's bathroom.

We enjoyed some time at our friend's house. The guys played crossnet and pickleball and I floated in the pool.

One morning before school greeted me like this. I am grateful for beauty like this.

More delicious food! I think this was at KPOT.

Being altogether on a Sunday morning was a rare thing, so we snapped a family picture. Mark's meetings must have been cancelled.

Mark went with friends to a University of Utah game. Football season had begun!
