Way Behind
I’ve gotten way behind on posting. Sorry. Too much going on and not enough time to document it all. Here’s a brief re-cap…
Kezia finished her first season of soccer and had a fun time.
Zephram finished yet another season of soccer and still likes it.
Zephram competed in his first cub scout push cart races - super fun!
I took 3 of the kids to a super lame pumpkin patch at a local elementary school. Sorry, I won’t pay $15 for a pumpkin.
Not in pictures…
Caemlyn competed in her first swim meet of the short course season and did well. The meet was in Abq the same weekend as Zeph’s last soccer game and pushcart races, so she, Kezia and Justin (he swam too) and stayed the night while I stayed home with the rest of the kids. The same weekend I ran in the annual Yum Run 5K and got a new PR. Zeph and Ada ran in the Yum Run 1K.
This last weekend we went to Abq so Justin could swim in 1 race and then took the kids to the zoo. Just happened to be their annual Zoo Boo, so it was packed with kids in Halloween costumes - but at least all the kids got in free and got to TorT for candy too. I think Tyghe enjoyed his first visit to the zoo. Friday, Justin got the last of our concrete walkway removed and our 60 foot spruce is now in huge pieces in the backyard. The amount of light now coming in the front of the house in the morning is amazing. Then Sunday the kids had their annual primary program. The kids all did a great job with their parts and singing all of the songs. Very different to sit through most of sacrament meeting with just Justin and Tyghe. It’s crazy watching the kids grow up. Watching Caemlyn on the stand, I kept trying to figure out when she got so grown up - then I watched her bounce back to her seat after saying her part and knew she’s still my little girl.
8 things
Due to popular demand, I am caving in and attempting to do this one tag. Forgive me for all of the blanks, but I don’t do well with these types of things.
8 Things I did yesterday
made Ada’s Halloween costume
finished reading Inkspell
laundry
ran
carved a pumpkin
made brownies for FHE treats
took Zeph’s scout fundraiser popcorn to school for him to distribute
took care of Kez while she stayed home from school
OK, so listing what I did yesterday was the only one I could do without stressing my brain too much. I’m currently looking forward to the elections being over. We don’t go out to eat very often and have even fewer restaurants. We did eat at a pretty good Indian restaurant in Santa Fe on Saturday though. I watch whatever Justin is surfing past on TV. I wish that doctors could figure out what’s wrong with Justin’s dad and treat it and that Mike’s cancer would go away. I also wish we lived closer to family. I look forward to watching my kids grow up (and hope they make good choices). I’m also looking forward to my next big race - whatever it is.
I’m obviously not tagging anyone since I couldn’t even follow the rules myself. Oh well - I tried.
But had I been tagged on the 4th picture thing …

blankets
I made a couple of blankets lately that I’m quite proud of. First is Josh & Courtney’s baby blanket…and a matching hat. Since they don’t know the gender of the baby, I thought sock monkey colors were quite appropriate.
And a close-up of the hat…
The other blanket is actually a duvet cover I made yesterday for our old duvet. We got a new quilt for our bed and decided to let Caemlyn use our queen size duvet on her twin bed. The navy blue cover we had just didn’t seem right, so I looked through my fabric stash and came up with this…

I’m quite pleased with how it turned out and Caemlyn is as well.
Winner
Thanks to everyone that commented on my blog’s anniversary. Congratulations to Jamie! Ada drew her name out of a box as the winner of my fabulous crayon roll.
It’s fun to make stuff and give it away, so I think I’ll have to find excuses to do this more often.
