September 2025

September started with the Senior Sunrise activity. Our seniors wanted to make everyone pancakes. I let them do it, but it didn't turn out as well as they wanted. We decided that premade donuts and muffins are the way to go for Senior Sunrise!

Brian looks tired here. I think because he and some friends had a long night sleeping under the stars to start his senior year. He still worked hard to make it a fun event.

The sunrise didn't disappoint!

At home we took passport renewal photos. I didn't know when we would need them next so we went ahead with getting them done. Timmy's passport has bleached hair.

We spent some time in the hot tub together.

Brian caught this cool lighting photo.

There was another football game. This time USA themed.

Mark helped with his 25 year reunion at Cottonwood.

The girls tennis team held their senior night.

Back for more Itto Sushi.

There was a huge Yellow Jacket nest in the ground in the barn. Spraying poison down in the nest did nothing. So Mark helped me get the wet vac with some water and soap and I went to town vacuuming up all the yellow jackets and then digging out the nest all together. So glad to have that taken care of. Yellow Jackets are no joke.

We went to a few volleyball games to support some friends.

One of Luke's trees in his backyard had fallen to be resting on his roof. Mark and the boys set to taking it down.

Mark got the tree down with no damage to the house. However, on his last cut, he didn't pay close enough attention and tapped the chain saw on his knee. He had to go to the emergency room and got over 30 stitches to put it back together.

The boys and I went with the CHOICE Junior Board to volunteer at the CHOICE Gala again this year.

Our friend Jim's book came out and Timmy and I read it. It is fantastic!

School pictures came in September. Timmy is a Sophomore.

Brian is a Senior.

Student Government put on a color chalk war to raise some money. Then everyone wore their colors to the football game afterward.

Mark cooked all the pork for an Elder's Quorum party.

I went to the temple one early morning.

Mark and I finally decided to put real shelving in our closet. This is how it has been for a few years.

So we cleaned it all out and went to IKEA!

A few days later thanks to Mark, it looked like this! I LOVE it!

We had a little bite to eat while we were at IKEA.

The last day in September was the beginning of Homecoming week. We had the powderpuff game. The boys were the cheerleaders and the girls played football. It was really fun!
