A Day in the Life...

Micah's new hobby is hunting and she drew a deer tag this year. So we went and hunted... She doesn't look happy but she is... just cold... Cameron and Wyatt also drew tags (and Amber and Ty... and my dad... and Tom... and my brother Branden... so it was a family event...) It had snowed the week before (up Fairview Canyon)... and then was sunny... So everything was M.U.D.D.Y. Cameron and Wyatt got to practice driving Ty's little Suzuki Scoot... that thing is a beast... The dogs were a muddy disaster but I think had a good time... Micah and I rode in my dad's side by side with him most of the hunt. Tim didn't go out because I don't think his back/neck could have taken the dirt roads and potholes.   The mud on our feet was literally inches thick... inches thick and probably added at least a pound of weight on each shoe... We spent a lot of afternoons picking off layers of mud... Did Copper only bring those sandals for the whole weekend?  Yes. I spread out our showe...

Ms. Kassie moved to Oregon!  We hate that but still love her.  The dojo had a going away party so Micah and I went to say thanks for all and to wish her luck. I'm so glad we'll still see her at big events! Look at baby Micah and Kassie from five years ago... and all the others years... So Fun! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My new office is really nice, with big windows up against the East foothills of Provo.  I don't really care about decorating my office but decided this week to finally unpack boxes and put some stuff away. I started with hanging pictures which are fun to look at while I'm at my computer.  I think this picture shows the cleanest this desk has ever been since I moved in...

We have a rule that we don't allow friends to sleep over or to sleep over at friend's. So when Kota's friend asked if she could go on vacation with their family I raised my eyebrows pretty high... She made a slideshow about why she should be allowed to go. I freaking love her. She has made several slideshows for us when she wants something she's not sure she'll get. "Why I should to go Downata Hot Springs with Ainslee" (except I use capitalization and punctuation and she doesn't, haha) "I have lots of good reasons" "I am really good and I think it would be fun for me to go out with Ainslee and she's a really good person and she's not like a bad influence and she's actually a really good influence like I've been way better since I became friends with her"  😁 "Even though we get back on Sunday and you guys wouldn't get back till Monday I could always stay with grandma or Shandee as long as they are okay with ...

We love spooky season!!   I didn't feel so great today so I did this puzzle Amber let me borrow. It's glow in the dark! Earlier today we went to a pumpkin patch.  Kota found a mini goat and begged to get one.  I wish we had a little farm for her- she'd be in heaven. Then she tried to see how many pumpkins she could stack on Micah.   Dakota is a whole lot like her dad and I love it. At Micah's request, we also went to Spirit Halloween this week, the most horrific Halloween store...
