CATCHING UP.......

Life has been super busy lately. Of course, when is it not? Right now I'm trying to finish up wedding plans, help with the opening of a preschool (my mom and sis-in-law are starting up a preschool. I'm way excited for them! This has been my mom's dream for years and she's had oodles of years to get the experience needed. So, if you're in the Farr West/Plain City/Harrisville/North Ogden area, check her out!), catch up from work (I was gone most of last week on a business trip) and then also help with a Super Saturday (Nat, if you're reading this, I'm still looking for ideas and have not forgotten you! I'm still more than happy to come out and help!) I also have a goal of getting all my Christmas projects done by the first part of November, so yeah, life, right? Oh! We also finally got callings! We've been in our ward now for a year and just got callings as team teachers for the CTR A class. Our primary is huge! I'm happy to be back in primary, but had forgotten how much work goes in to keeping a bunch of 5-6 year olds busy for almost an hour! In our last ward the bubs and I were team teachers to the Sunbeams which I LOVED! I missed our kids, so it's really no surprise we're back in primary.

Anywhoo.....the bubs is currently training for the Top of Utah Marathon which is in Logan, Utah next month. His goal is to qualify for Boston which means he has to finish the marathon in a little over just three hours. He's been putting a LOT of time and effort into his training and I'm so proud of him. I'll also be really glad when it's over! On Memorial Day he participated in a half-marathon that's held in a neighboring city and had an AWESOME time! Of course, we almost missed him coming in because we thought he would be later, so this is the only pic I got!The first part of June our sis-in-law and her kiddos came out to visit from California. We love it when they come out as we don't get to see them enough! They came to hang out with us a couple of nights and one night we decided to do s'mores in the fire pit after dinner. At first Prest wasn't too sure about the whole s'more thing. He just wanted to eat the marshmallows. He also wanted to save some for Santa. He's such a funny kid! When the bubs was finally able to get him to finally try a s'more he LOVED them! He and the bubs were outside FOREVER making s'mores! Poor little J was a little sick this trip and ended up throwing up in the car, hence the nakee baby! Poor J and poor Bree! I think by this point everyone was ready to just turn around and head back home! Anyway, I forgot about these pics until I started looking through the camera! Oh, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture of J!How can you not love that face? He's such a fun little boy! Next time we hope Kenton can come out too! Thanks for coming to play with us, guys!
