Sunday Hammocks and Bikes

Yesterday was possibly the most perfect Sunday ever. It was stake conference. We left uplifted and inspired to be better, to serve more, and to live like our Savior. 

After lunch, we loaded up bikes, snacks, and kids (no small feat here!) and drove out to the Ft. Tuthill bike park. They were having some kind of race and there was a huge crowd. We left there and drove to Marshall Lake (it's a bit of a marsh right now). We set up our hammocks and read and relaxed, rode bikes a bit, and dozed for awhile. At Jake's urging, we went back to the bike park, which was now empty. The kids and Scott had a great time. I even tried it once. Brooklyn, poor girl, had a fever all day so we hung out in the hammocks together. She was all bundled up and was a trooper. 

We got back and had eggs and bacon for dinner, then got everyone into bed. We all went to bed feeling so fulfilled and happy. Jake and Alisa declared it the best Sunday ever. Scott didn't even feel the Monday-eve blues he usually gets. It was a perfect day.

Scott's Turning 36!

Happy 36th Birthday to my main squeeze. For his birthday, he got a $1 million worth of fishing equipment and a fishing trip in Alaska with his dad, uncle, and some seasoned fishermen from Flag.




Brooklyn: Isn't the tooth fairy so pretty, dad? Lost her 5th tooth!

Labor Day Weekend

BYU vs. U of A in the Cardinals Stadium was a BLAST. It was a total nail biter. We were pumped to be winning, discouraged when they pulled ahead. Then, a miracle happened in the last minute. We kicked it and it went straight in. It was AMAZING. We were all going crazy. It was so much fun. 
Mostly, the kids did great. It was their first game. It started at 7:30pm, so by the end of it Brooke was covering her head and ears and asking people to pipe down. Ha! Overall, they hung in there until midnight when we got home. Plus, we were on the jumbotron three times! So famous. We all slept until Scott's alarm at 9:20am!
