September was kind of a boring month with not a lot going on, besides school and soccer. So, I'm going to throw it all into one blog post and move on to October!
Tuesday Sept. 1st
Maggie's friend had an end of summer get-together and they painted and hung out.
Friday Sept. 4th
I took Bella, Noah and Paige to Out of this World Pizza to play for an end of summer activity.
That night we all went shoe shopping for school and out to eat at Red Robin.
Saturday Sept. 5th
Remember the "dates" we gave to Garrett for Father's Day? Noah's was to go bowling with dad and out to lunch, so Garrett took Noah out today.
snacking on some French Fries in between bowling games.
They had a fun time.
That night Garrett bought some tickets to another Hillsboro Hops baseball game and invited his dad. We tried to see if the kids wanted to go, but Lydia was the only one that wanted to come. We only got to see a couple of innings because we thought it started at 7, but it really started at 6. Oops!
Sunday Sept. 6th
We went over to grandma and grandpa's house for dinner that night. She's also been suggesting that we all sleep over in the bunk house for awhile, but it's been too hot. So, we thought we'd do it before school started, since Noah hasn't had the chance to sleep up there yet.
They've been working on the land behind their's and left the tractor there for the weekend, so the kids got some pictures with it. It's huge!!
Putting all our sleeping gear up in the bunk house.
Noah's spot next to the air mattress where Garrett and I were sleeping.
Bella on the futon
and the other 3. The next day for one of Paige's Faith in God projects, she had to do a service project of some kind. So, since grandma just had knee surgery, she set it up for all of us to come and help clean grandma's house. I know grandma really appreciated it!
Thursday Sept. 10th
Maggie started up her ballroom dance classes again. Although, she would eventually quit in November when basketball season started up because she had games/practices on Thursday night. I think she's going to start going again here soon now that basketball is over.
Friday Sept. 11th
Paige and her friends Brooke, Sarya and Hailey made up some lemonade and had a lemonade stand. I think they made some money this time instead of giving it away for free.
Their cute sign.
There's not a whole lot of traffic on our street, so they made their business mobile and walked around the neighborhood trying to sell their lemonade.
Saturday Sept. 12th
I bought another 100 lbs. of apples like I did last year and started working on them everyday. I pretty much just made applesauce and lots of apple desserts.
Tuesday Sept. 15th
For mutual the young women played "minute to win it" games. I love that Brother Jensen (bishopric member) was playing, too.
Saturday Sept. 19th
I went to the baptism of one of my primary kids and Garrett took the little kids to the park.
Monday Sept. 21st
Bella taught the FHE lesson on what we should be thinking about during the Sacrament.
Saturday Sept. 26th
It was the General Relief Society Women's Meeting, so Maggie, Lydia and Paige and I dressed up and went to watch it at the Stake Center.
These girls are sure cute!
Going in a little late so we could take a selfie...
Garrett took these 2 out for hamburgers and chicken nuggets and bought them some new church shoes.
After the meeting, we went out to eat at "The Old Spaghetti Factory".
It was a fun night of girl bonding!!
And with September comes soccer...and lots of soccer pictures.
Lydia's team...she had the same coach as last year and she was really excited about it because he's a good coach.
Paige's team
Garrett coached Noah's team, with Maggie as his assistant coach. I think he really enjoys coaching the older kids more. This was pretty much refereeing recess.
Bella as aggressive as ever!
Paige is getting better!
Lydia and her friend Kali
Noah
He played a lot more this year...we'll see how he does next year.
The other assistant coach made up these pictures for their team.
I can't seem to find the other team pictures.
