Well, It's once again time for my monthly blogging. This past month has been kinda crazy. We did do a couple of fun things this past month. We went to the state fair. The kids look forward to this every year, I wish I could say the same. I love the Davis County fair cuz it's small and quaint. The SL County fair is getting so big, but the fam loves it still the same. Morgan & Hanna took Gracie on the big giant slide for the first time this year. Gracie was so funny. Her expression clearly was fear, but she tried to be big for sissy and bro. She is such a hoot. We also went to the Corn Belly Maze at Thanksgiving point. It was a lot of fun. We went in the maze and had to finally take the "emergency exit". Joe and my natural ability to discern direction once again fell short. We were laughing so hard. The big hit there as well was all the slides. Gracie was in pig heaven!! My Dad just had his surgery this week as well. He finally had the gallbladder out and is doing very well. He's just happy to be home. Morgan is playing football once again. He's quite a good little player and is obsessed with it. He plays, watches it on TV, goes to all the local games and is an avid Cowboys fan. It is quite a consuming sport. 3x per week practices for 2 hours and every saturday 1hr practice before the game. I love to watch football as well. Hanna deciding to give dancing up this year for soccer. She is quite the athlete as well. Their team was undefeated and she made several goals, even one for the other team! ugh. She has decided to continue on in sports and maybe next year gymnastics. She's a great kid and I'm happy she's found her passion. Gracie is my little buddy. When my Dad had surgery she wanted to go on the train so she and I took Frontrunner and trax to IMC. She loved it. She made friends with everyone, even the conductor. She is in a playgroup with her little buddy Andrea. She loves being social and hanging out with Hanna and her friends. Her favorite though is to go shopping. She loves going to the orange store with Daddy or the little cart store with Mommy. Joe has had a rough fall compared to those in the past. He loves hunting and fishing and has had to sacrifice his trips for Grandpa's hospitalizations and my school. Hopefully next year he can resume the outdoor activities. We are going to the Sand Dunes today for our UEA getaway. We planned on going to San Diego, but all the flights were overbooked. Oh well. Morgan and Hanna have been wanting to go to the Dunes. Gracie however hates sand so we'll see how she does. Life is good and I am blessed. Until next month, ciao!
