The Traffic Cones...


We really enjoyed watching Cash play soccer. He plays his position so well and is a real athlete. He runs so fast but with control. I'm still amazed by the views from the soccer fields in our area. We are proud of Cash and the effort he gives at each game. The Traffic Cones were victorious! What a fun game, so thankful we could be there.

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!
