September according to my iphone with a little help from my ipad too

We started the month of with a fun pep rally.  Here is Reagan with her buddy, Taylor.



Went to see a flick with a great bunch of kids.

Love this thought.  It spoke to me one day when I needed the reminder.
Got these from a dear friend for my birthday.  


Subbed in one night with these cute "Beehives".  They painted pictures and uplifting thoughts for kids in the hospital.




Our missionary is doing so well out in the field.  He gets along great with his first companion, Elder Charles.  I can tell from his letters that they have alot in common.

Brother Mack ran into them again while he was visiting and took them out to dinner.  he sent me these text pics - since my missionary never sends us any.  Boo hiss.



Love this gal.  One of my favorites.  Apparently, we both like yellow.
Brady picked out his Halloween costume.

Spent every Tuesday this month at a football game watching one of our girls cheering.  This is a picture of the 7th and 8th grade cheer squad.
I hosted book club.  (Man, that is a lot of work and I am gald I don't have to do that again for over a year!)  I'll post what I made and the book I picked out later.
Kinda faced some frustrations but kept reminding myself daily of something a wise man used to say.


We sent Jensen off to school.  At the time she had lost alot of weight while she was home because she wasn't feeling very well.  We were worried about her.  As it turns out, she had some blood work done when she got to school but it all came back fine.  Since then she has started changing her diet and taking some over the counter meds and has seen some improvement.  This is good news since she got accepted into the study abroad program for Spring.  She will be going to England and Ireland through the English Major program at BYUi.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
