September 2016

For Labor Day we went on a hike to Doughnut Falls. Beautiful area! Beautiful day! Beautiful hikers!

I love going in hikes with the family!

We took Post to Golden Corral for lunch! There are four of us that work closely together and we have become good friends. Brooke (other school counselor), Preslee (student services and our assistant), and Post (aka Simon, he is the director of secondary).

Cee Ryle got answered to Homecoming with these chocolate frogs!

One Sunday we decided to just go to a park and just spend some time together. We went to Memory Grove. I just have to get as many pictures as possible of Carina before she leaves.

This is a picture of two trees made by my leaf electric car! That means I was a very efficient driver! Idk why I'm posting this here?! 

On September 16th Carina had the blessing to go through the temple for the first time! It was a wonderful experience for all of us but especially for her. She went through the Provo City Temple.

Afterwards we went out to eat crepes!!!

Cee Ryle went to Homecoming with Emma Judd. 

His group included Emma, Sydney, and Aiden. Wardie group this time :)

Derick was here to celebrate his birthday! A few weeks late but fun celebration non the less!

Preview of Mary Poppins!

Suicide Awareness walk with our HOPE Squad. We have participated in this walk for a few years now. Suicide is one of the leading cuases of death amongst youth in Utah. There is a big push to bring awareness to this. HOPE Squads help by helping other students that may need someone to talk to. Students are trained to listen and then tell others to Hold On Pesuade and Empower. I get to help these students with training and assistance if they need to refer.

Since we couldn't go anywhere before Carina leaves on her mission because of time. She decided she wanted to spend a day as a family at Lagoon. We had a fun time together!

Carina vloged about this day: I PEED MY PANTS

Kailee was making an Arthur music video of our family before Carina leaves. Making music videos has become a fun tradition for our family! The final product is in the link below:
