Monday, September 18 - We had a super fun time at the Blackridge Elementary Color Run! This is an annual fundraiser that the school does each year and my kids love it! They are always a mess but it's worth those smiles! :)
Tuesday, September 19 - Check out my brace-face! Okay, so you can't see them all that well but I got Invisalign braces on today. I am tired of my bottom teeth being so crooked - especially after having worn braces for over 3 years as a teenager! I will only need these for about 6 months and they were much less expensive than we had anticipated so we went for it! Yay!! Straight teeth, here I come!
Wednesday, September 20 - Simon won a raffle drawing at the MACU Benefits Fair and ended up with this Storm Trooper helmet. It changes your voice with an internal microphone and everything! It is valued at $110! Not sure what we'll do with it but it's super cool!
Thursday, September 21 - I was so excited to get my braces until...this. Check out the wicked canker sores they are giving me! I consulted Google about this problem and it says that it takes about a week for your gums and cheeks to get used to the change and then it gets better. Here's hoping!
More importantly, I had my last Relief Society activity tonight. It was called "House of Order" and it turned out really well. Sweet Carli Bringhurst, one of my new young women, made all of the cupcakes for it. She is an amazing girl!
Friday, September 22 - I asked mom if we could get together to can tomatoes. She grew a ton in her garden and I want some! :) Jenni and I went over this morning and got to work. I can't wait to eat the rewards of working so hard! Tonight, Nick and Simon left for a scout camp so I met up with Erin, Jessie, and all the kids to have shakes and ice cream at Arctic Circle. It was fun getting to visit with the ladies and the kids loved getting their energy out on the playground.
Saturday, September 23 - While Simon and Nick were at Strawberry Reservoir catching nasty crawdads and watching the spawning red salmon swim upstream, I was enjoying an amazingly cold game of soccer with my parents! Zack did great and is really coming along as a defender on the field. Being such a cold day, my camping boys were excited to get home and take hot showers!
Sunday, September 24 - Happy birthday to Kenny! I can't believe my baby brother turned 27!! Where did that time go!?!? We celebrated at mom and dad's with a yummy spare rib dinner. Kenny requested a chocolate cake so I did a "naked chocolate cake" for him. Happy birthday bro!
