Ultimate fry sauce and whoopie cushions...

 

Sometimes you need a little snack to celebrate the end of the school week! We tried the ultimate fry sauce for the first time, and boy oh boy was it good! Thumbs up for sure.

I never tell Colby and Grahm to pose for a picture, it's just automatic that they sit close to each other. These two brothers have a sweet bond. And the dimples!

Grey is such a good sport and lots of fun. I hope I don't jinx anything, but if JCW's ever goes out of business it would be a sad day for us! It's our place. 

Grahm always wants me take a silly picture, yikes!

The dollar store is minutes away from JCW's so we often stop in to see if there's anything new and exciting. They all chose whoopie cushions and we had toots and lots of laughter all the way home! We also found some fun glasses.

Colby always sits down and plays the piano. He started watching instructional you tube's and has learned some fun songs. He's amazing. We have been struggling to find a day for lessons with soccer, and other activities but hopefully we will get back at it soon.

I love sitting around the dinner table with the Grands. We talk and laugh, it's just the best. We missed Cash, he was working on a big end of term school project. I'm ever thankful when Friday comes around. And I guess I'm also thankful for whoopie cushions! 

Continue in patience...

Patience is a process of perfection. The Savior Himself said that in your patience you possess your souls. (Luke 21:19) Or, to use another translation of the Greek text, in your patience you win mastery of your souls. Patience means to abide in faith, knowing that sometimes it is in the waiting rather than in the receiving that we grow the most. This was true in the time of the Savior. It is true in our time as well, for we are commanded in these latter days to “continue in patience until ye are perfected.” (D&C 67:13)

Coach Williams...

I love watching Mark coach Grahm's team. They were practicing before the game. 

The field has incredible views of the mountains. It sure is fun watching Coach Williams and Grahm during Fall soccer games!

Furry four-legged friend...

Yes, this is a post all about our granddog Grizzly! We have had this sweet dog for eight days while Mark, Tiff and the Grands were on a cruise. 

He has charmed his way into our hearts. Christopher and I took him for a walk up Provo Canyon. He kept up with us and we made it to the drinking fountain where there is refreshing spring water. He enjoyed a drink too. It was what, as Chris sometimes says, a 10 out of 10 experience. The trees were aglow and the perfect Fall temperature. Being with Chris and Grizz in this beautiful setting was good for my soul.

Grizzly did get a little tired on the way back so I carried him for a bit. When we got back to the car, he climb in the back, and fell asleep on the floor. 

We all took turns taking Grizzly for a walk and playing with him. He loves to chase shadows and play with grasshoppers! Grizz is obedient and enjoys a treat once in awhile. Grahm told me awhile ago, you can't say "treat' unless you are going to give him one! Sometimes if Grizzly sees his leash, he will bark to let you know he wants to go outside. He knows several tricks too. He's a very smart dog.

Grizzly also likes to go for rides in the car with me.

And especially if the window is down partway!

Grizz and Chris also became good friends. It was about time for bed and I couldn't find Grizzly. I went downstairs and he was curled up under Christopher's desk. 

If we had a fenced in backyard, and could find a dog with a wonderful disposition like Grizzly, I would be tempted to get a dog!

I will miss when Grizzly's little tail comes wagging and our walks. Hurry back my four-legged furry friend!

Cake decorating with Grey and Grahm...

After Grey and Grahm's soccer games a few weeks ago, they came with me to help decorate a birthday cake for Colby. By the way Grahm took the pictures of Grey, our #2 soccer star.

We stopped at Meier's for a few things and I saw some suckers by the check stand. It brought back memories of getting them for Chris and Mark years ago. There is a scorpion inside the sucker. Grey and Grahm were so excited that I got some for them. Grahm was especially fascinated by them! 

Colby wanted a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting so we got busy making his birthday cake. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Grey and Grahm decorated the cake. It was their idea to add candy corn and pumpkins. I gave them a few tips and they did the rest. Here are the picture to prove it!

Grey and Grahm did awesome job decorating Colby's cake! It turned out just perfect.

The next day we enjoyed being with Colby for his birthday dinner. We got to meet Brian and enjoyed talking with him and Cindi.

Colby trying out a new do for his birthday! He's so fun.

Colby was all smiles when he saw his birthday cake. I made sure he knew his brothers helped make it! 

Time to sing Happy Birthday to our Colby!

These two are so cute together. 

September was full of birthday dates and dinners. What a fun month.

Happy Birthday Colbs, as always I hope your wish comes true! 

Colby saw a box with some pictures and he asked me if he could make a poster for his birthday. He made it look so good. A lot of very happy memories are represented in this photos.

Love you so very much Colby!
