Rusty and Teniele's family came for a week to help out with the harvest.

Richard Joyce and Lindsay went to the Harper Homecoming on September 30th.  They are so cute!

 

Harry Potter MMD...

On September 21st we had our Harry Potter Murder Mystery Dinner.  I helped Tara with some of the decorating and we all helped out with the food.  Mom bought this cute blowup for the party.

Everything turned out really cute!

Everyone dressed up so cute!  Well maybe some weren't so cute depending on their character, haha!

Professor McGonagall took us on a walk around the castle and to the dining hall.  It was cute I had this Bluetooth speaker that we played Harry Potter music with.

I made these caldron cakes.  

I thought they turned out pretty cute and they tasted even better.

Our wizard letters and appetizers...

All the food was so yummy.  The story was a little difficult to follow and it ended up being Luna Lovegood's love potion that accidentally killed Neville Longbottom.  It was a fun party.

Brady & Jaynee's Mission Talks...

On September 17th Jaynee was giving her farewell talk and the Bishop asked if Brady would want to speak with her and do his mission talk.  It was a really nice meeting.  Both of them did a great job.  It was so cute when Elder Talbot winked at Lori then Paul and Merlyn when he talked about working with them in the temple.  He cleans with Lori on Mondays and does baptistry with Paul and Merlyn on Tuesdays.  

After church, we had a nice meal at Weston and Lori's house.  It was fun to visit and hang out with family.

We are excited for Jaynee and look forward to hearing about her experiences in Honduras.  

 

This & That...

On September 8th Elder Talbot went with Elder Walker to his first mission gathering with all the other service missionaries in the area.

On September 9th Cole went on another mountain biking race with his brother Brandon.  His family stayed with them for the weekend.

On September 11th we celebrated Tawni's birthday.  I made her a birthday cake, Stephanie decorated her office and Carmen had Brianna make her a nice plaque that says 'Difference Maker'... A dedicated person who can make a big impact even with just a small action or a few words.  Someone who improves the lives of others, one who rallies or encourages others to propel themselves forward and bring about change.  She loved it and even teared up.  Josh gave her the bouquet of flowers and had Tina make her favorite lunch.

I also got this cute picture of Brandon on Sept 11th.

After work on September 14th, I went to pick up Brandon for the night.

I also saw these pictures of Ryan at Weber State.

Brady started working at the Food Pantry on Thursday, September 14th.  I bring him to work with me at 8:00 then I walk with him to the Post Office then he walks the rest of the way to the pantry to serve there from 9:00 to 1:00.  On Friday, September 29th he started working at the Nyssa Library from 1:00 to 4:00p then on Wednesday October 11th he started working at the Adrian School District from 8:00 to 11:30.

Our new grass is slowing coming along.
