Sep 11 - 17

Monday, September 11 - Bowling has begun! And it was...a little rough! Ricki was happy as a clam when we were playing in the play room but once we had to bowl, it was all tears and needing mommy. I don't know how long I'll be able to do this. :(

Tuesday, September 12 - We had a full evening of sports! We started out at Zack's soccer game at 5:45 then headed out to Nick's tournament game at 6:30. It was a single-elimination tournament and unfortunately, we lost tonight so the season is over. I have absolutely loved watching my boy play baseball! He went from being in the outfield to third baseman. He's doing so great and I couldn't be more happy with him!

Wednesday, September 13 - Nick got his fitness watch in the mail today. He is one happy kid!

Thursday, September 14 - It's like Christmas!!! Girl's trip is finally here! We left bright and early to get a head start on the drive. We stopped at the bakery in Lehi for doughnuts before hitting the freeway. We made it to St. George by lunchtime. Meanwhile, Simon took Ricki on her super fun fire station field trip. (She actually cried the whole time except for this picture.) We went to "linner" at Olive Garden and spent the evening shopping, laughing, and watching movies. 

Friday, September 15 - We got up and got going this morning. We went to Kneader's for the best french toast in the world then went for a drive. We ended up at the temple. We toured the visitor's center and watched the new installments to the movie, "Meet the Mormons". After the temple, we went up on top of the bluff and did some exploring. None of us were in great hiking shoes so we didn't go very far but it is so fun up there! Tonight, Simon went to an Activity Days Father/Daughter Date. They played Minute to Win It games and had lots of fun. :)

Saturday, September 16 - Jenni introduced us to the Pizza Factory and YUMMERS! It was so good! We did a little more shopping (doughnut I look great?) then we went back to the house to relax. Jenni and Katie were clearly enthralled in their computer work so mom and I built this puzzle. 

Sunday, September 17 - We are so bummed to be going home. :( Jenni had to be home early to watch Jake perform a song in the primary program and I wanted to get home to be called to YOUNG WOMEN'S!!!!!!! More on that later. :) Goodbye Girl's Trip. Next fall can't come soon enough!
