BeReal

Courtney was mowing the lawn for Grandpa when the BeReal went off so she had him do her BeReal.  I thought it was awesome!! I love their relationship.

Jazz band concert

Ethan had a friend who got tickets to the jazz band concert and invited him to go along. Ethan sent us a picture to tell us that he is getting culture.  He really liked the concert and said they did a great job.

Traveling Tabernacle

The traveling Tabernacle was in St. George and our Stake was assigned to help with it on November 14th.  We had gone through it the week before so we understood what it was and what would be happening. The Tabernacle was run by the youth in the various wards/stakes.  The adults were acting just as ushers and other support things. Bryan and I had volunteered to be ushers but Bryan got stuck at work so I grabbed Courtney to come along with me.  She wasn't thrilled but I told her I would ensure she was with me the whole time.  However, when we showed up they tried to grab her to do a youth part in the actual Tabernacle.  She panicked a bit but then we could arrange it so she was with me.

We were responsible for making sure people went in the correct direction when they were in the Cultural Hall.  It wasn't too hard but we were asked to answer questions anyone may have as they went through.  It was fun to talk to people and Courtney kept me company.

Bryan showed up after our first hour and took over for Courtney.  She took his car home and Bryan and I finished our 2 hour shift.  I thought it was fun to see the people come through.  One of the best parts was that we were near the video of how the temples dot the Earth. It was cool to see how to video touched the people. This is the video:

I thought it was cool not only to be able to go through the Tabernacle and see what it would have looked like in ancient times, but also to be able to serve there so others could have that experience.

Tree eye

I was on my walk the other day and saw this tree.  It looked like an eye to me so I had to take a picture. It's actually kind of creepy to have a tree watching you as you walk by.

End of season banquet

We had the end-of-season banquet for Soccer.

They had the library set up for the lunch.  I don't think everyone sent in an RSVP because they didn't have enough food for everyone and they had to hurry and set up more chairs and tables.  Bryan and I shared a meal and then Courtney didn't like hers so Bryan finished it.  They gave out the region champ shirts, each coach talked about the girls, and then they were given a gift.  It was nice.

Game pigeon

Ethan and Courtney like to play games with each other through text via Game Pigeon.  Usually, on Sunday morning they are playing a game before we go to Church.  One Sunday, right before Church began, Courtney had this look on her face...

This is the pure joy when Courtney beat Ethan at Checkers. haha!  I had to document it.  She was thrilled. He complains and says that she cheats and that it's a dumb game, but he keeps playing with her.

Snow Canyon

Courtney has a goal of running a 10K.  She has been going each day to walk and she asked me to go with her. I walk while Courtney runs on the trails in Snow Canyon.  It's amazing that we have that so close that we can go anytime we want. I have been stopping to take pictures as I walk.  Here are some of my favorites.

We live in a beautiful area whether it is sunny or rainy.
