Random September

September was a crazy month-I hardly took any pictures. Between soccer, being newly called as a Young Women's president and some difficult circumstances in my family, I could hardly keep up with life.
 Labor Day weekend we camped up at the ranch with a couple families. The kids had a great time as usual. The best part was that we don't have soccer games on Labor Day weekend, so we can really have quality time together.

Spent some time organizing one of the closets at church. I love doing projects like this, it is so satisfying to me.

The girls had a flag raising ceremony on September 11th. the mayor came and they had active duty military there as well. Kamryn's class sang My Country Tis of Thee, and the kids got to shake hands with the military members and tell them thanks for their service. It was a nice way to start the day.

Since the kids started school, Wes and I have been trying to go on a lunch date once a week (Morgan comes with, but it still feels like a date). We go somewhere different every week, that time it was Freddy's.

Jaxson's school had a fundraiser race. The 5th graders had to run 3 laps, and Jaxson was hoping to win. He ended up coming in 2nd place among the 5th grade boys- according to my calculations he ran 3 laps in about 5 minutes, which is super fast by my standard!
 
They had lined the boys up in a certain kind of order-with those they thought had a chance of winning on the inner lanes.

Morgan dresses herself everyday. Sometimes she looks crazy, but I let her wear whatever she wants. (Her eczema is finally doing pretty good! I haven't had to use her steroid on her in a while, so she can actually wear short sleeves right now.)

We ran down to Mesa after soccer games one weekend to be at Finley's baptism. I was so glad we could be there for it! The next day was Luke and Shawnie's wards Primary Program, so we went to church with them. We got to watch Finley sing a solo-I would have come all the way to Mesa just for that! He did awesome. Love getting to spend time with all of our Mesa family.
