Family Time

September was a long month. We learned that when submitting Jared's availability to work Urgent Care to give specific dates rather than "options". We learned this because when we put down all four Saturday's in September as "available", rather than picking two of the four, he was scheduled for all four... A few good things came out of this though: We began early morning bike rides on Thursdays to get in extra family time,








we now have extra money for fun stuff planned in October, and just because we don't have something pressing planned, that doesn't mean we're available-down time is nice too. October is off to a fabulous start. Hannah turned eight on the first and it's been on going fun fun fun. Her birthday wasn't to eventful- cupcakes for the class, dinner at her favorite restaurant and the new magic tree house book/American Girl paper doll clothes designer kit. Friday we went to the school carnival which was really fun.








Saturday we slept in, ate cinnamon rolls and watched conference together. It was relaxing and recharging at the same time. I think one of my favorite moments was when the new temples were announced. After the announcement of the Rome Italy temple, their was a quiet pause then a great cheer, just as Jared and I said in unison "WOW!"


Saturday afternoon we headed to my parents where we had a dinner to celebrate Hannah's Birthday. Then we went to the jet car races that evening with them. (Jared took the first three pics-aren't they cool)

We have thoroughly enjoyed conference today. BYU TV is fun to get also-in fact right now a documentary on Lehi's family is on. Time to go! Yea for October!!!!!!!!!!!
