Halloween 5K

We had so much fun running the Halloween 5K

Everyone looked sooo good!

We got to run an out and back along the Jordan River Trail and were then treated to a dinner,

dance party, and free cold plunge and sauna access.

and we were all still able to run in our costumes

Such a fun night with our Crew

 

Love you Hermana Harvey

Got to hand out one last time with Makayla before she is set apart as a full timme missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  

We have been friends with Makayla's parents since before she was born and she and Brenna have been best friends since Kindergarten. We have watched her grow and mature and love her like our own. So proud of her decision to serve the Lord by serving the people in Guatemala.

Natalie & Sarah (2 of Brenna and Makayla's BYU roommates) and wouldn't you know Sarah came dressed head to toe in Brenna's clothes - such a Brenna thing and I love that she did that to honor her.

Lacrosse Besties - Morgan, Sophie, Nora, & Sarah

Sending a piece of our hearts with this sweet girl as she goes to serve.

 

Supporting JC in NYC

Kayla took a solo trip to New York City to support her favorite NBA player in his 1st game playing with the New York Knicks,

Got to enjoy the energy of Time Square

Before heading to Madison Sqaure Garden to watch her bestie

Totally worth every penny to get to watch him play again.

Go JC!

 

Digging out the new Pool

Ikaika was exploring the new pool area and found a sledgehammer left behind by a worker

He went right to work

Oops

He's pretty sure he wants to go into 'digging' as a profession at this point

Luckily we have Ikaika and Odyssey Pools working on the project.

 

Favorite times of day

Story Time

Sleep in the car Time

 

Pantry Progress

Quick Costco run for 100 black totes with yellow lids.

It was truly a miracle that we fit all 100 in Jody's Honda Pilot, my Tesla, & Jenna's minivan

Corey labeling our new black bins so we can keep track of where they go and when they get returned

We love when it feels organized!!

Time to fill them with Weekend Pack

Marilyn & Denae always filling totes with weekend packs and stackig them up so they're ready for schools to take

Angie starting to organize winter coats and hygiene kits

We overfloweth with canned goods, as we strive to move to a canless system

Our friend Bob White and his sweet wife bring in donations that were organized and packaged by service missionaries in our area. This community is so full of amazing people like the Whites.

 

Mavs game

Last minute decision to head down to the Jazz/Mavs game.

Such a good line-up
