Motorcycles, Football, Bullwinkle, a Prophet, Towels and Family

What do they all have in common? This past weekend! It was full of fun, fall, and I even accomplished a couple things! Yay for me!! I am going to say my weekend started on Thursday because that's when the fun started...



Nate and I rode the Alpine Loop to see the autumn leaves. Oh my!! They were incredible! (Thanks to my sister, Debbie who watched Tye and Haley so we could take off for a couple hours while Rachel and Kaden were in school.)


We even saw a moose. He crossed the road right in front of us and ran up this hill. Why when I see a cool animal my camera isn't readily available??? Oh, I had it around my neck, but it had shut down!! So by the time I realized it didn't take a picture, Bullwinkle was gone! One of these days I'll get a great shot of something awesome, just you wait!



Friday they poured the footings for the garage. Not that I or you really care about that, but it's all happening so fast that it really is kind of cool.

[We forgot to take a picture while we were there... but here are our tickets!]

But the best part of Friday was going to the BYU football game in Logan. Nate and I went with Shelly, Ryan, PJ and Peyton (my sister, bro-in-laws and nephew). Nate and I got stuck in a human traffic jam trying to get to the bathrooms, concessions and then back to our seats... it took at least 30 minutes! My hair ended up in some guy's salad. I think it had ranch dressing! I told Nate he could lick my hair if he got really hungry since we never even got any food!! I also ran into my cousin, Lance from Idaho. Now, the game was a bit lack-luster (to say the least), but it was still a lot of fun and we won so that's all that really matters!!! (Thanks to Scott and Jamie for watching all our kids and even putting them to bed for us!)



Then of course, on Saturday gerneral conference started. It's always so uplifting! Gotta love it! The kids and I went to my parents house and were able to spend time with my mom while Nate was helping some relatives move. What a man!! Gotta love him, too!



During the priesthood session I usually go to my in-laws house to hang out or work on a project. Then we have banana splits when all the guys get back. This year I went over there and finally finished some towels I needed embroidered. I had finished the girl's towels months ago and decided this was my chance to get the boy's towels done. Yay!! (Thank you Mary and Julie for your help!) My plan is to replace my towel rod with hooks and I'm going to sew a loop onto the towels so we can just hang them easily without them falling to the floor. I get soooo tired of picking towels up off the floor and/or straightening them every time someone uses the bathroom. If this doesn't solve my problem then, then.... I might just cry!

We ended the weekend with our monthly first Sunday dinner with Nate's family. We always enjoy being with our families and are grateful we live so close to most everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. What did you do???
