My Parents

 I had to say goodbye to my parents tonight which is never easy for me and felt even harder this time with their move to St. George. But luckily I had all day to hang out with them! Brad and his Dad and Kade and Tenley spent the day driving to Billings and back for Kade’s soccer games so Ryder, Luke and I got to be with my parents and Judy. We all enjoyed sleeping in which was nice and then the rest of our patio furniture showed up so my Dad helped me build it and get it all set up! It looks so nice!!

Then we went out to lunch at Qdoba and decided to go swimming at the hotel my parents were staying at. My Dad wanted to pick up a swimsuit at the store so he could swim with the boys and they got new swimsuits as well. They had a lot of fun swimming! 

We headed home to enjoy the patio, but the rain kept us inside. We enjoyed leftovers for dinner and more ice cream for dessert! 

I couldn’t be more grateful for my parents making the long drive here in the middle of their move. It wouldn’t have been the same without them! They are the best.

Everyone made it back safely from Billings and they had a great time. Kade played great! He was a forward the first game and then goalkeeper the second game and had some great saves and helped the team win. It was his last game of the season. It was the best team he’s played on with the best coaches. I’m so grateful for all the fun memories he’s made and the growth he’s had.

The Morins

 My amazing friend Lynda invited my whole family and me over for a pool/pizza party at her house. The kids loved it. They had fun pool toys, a slide, and a basketball hoop. Kade and Tenley both ended up making a shot in the hoop while they went down the slide not once or twice, but three times! It was amazing. 

The Morins are always so kind and generous to us and we had a great time with them tonight!

Swim Lessons

 Ryder and Luke had their last swim lesson today. Their instructor Stacy was the best! They significantly improved in their swim skills and I’m so proud of them! 

 

Northern Lights

 Brad is on a tight schedule to get our new boat winterized because he needs to take it to storage on Thursday. He was working on it from 5 to 9:30ish and while he was working he noticed the northern lights in the sky. We have lived here for seven years now and it wasn’t until this year that I was finally able to see the northern lights and this is my fourth time seeing them! They are incredible and it’s always a fun experience every time we see them.

At swim lessons today the teacher had Ryder and Luke wear clothes and jump into the water so they could see how it feels and how to roll in their back to get their bearings straight. They both commented on how heavy their clothes were. But they both did an awesome job about getting in control and yelling for help as if it was a real emergency situation. I love watching their progress!

Tenley had her last volleyball practice tonight so they took some team photos. It’s been a great season and I’m so glad she played! She improved a lot. We get to watch one more game tomorrow night!
