Pendleton Oregon

Our trip to Oregon ended with us stopping in Pendleton and seeing Grandma Severe and Aunt Pam and the kids cousin Caymen. While we were there we had the opportunity to take all the kids on the tour of the Pendleton Undergrounds. Kids under the age of 6 are not allowed on the tour but because Grandma Heileson (Gloria) was taking us on the tour it was okay. To keep the kids happy we gave them all large suckers. I am not sure if that was a good thing or not. The kids were so sticky that every 20 seconds we were wiping their hands. The Pendleton underground tour is so worth seeing. You are taking underground to where the bars were during the prohibition. There was also the Chinese laundry facilities, the butchers where the best meat in town was kept, the Chinese prisons and more. It was so cool to see the glass in the sidewalks reflecting down underground and then to see the bullet holes on the ceiling. We also went up to the brothels. It was funny to hear Grandma change the wording to make sense to the kids and to not give too many details. Every year the underground does comes to life where the mannequins are replaced with real actors. I would love to be a part of that one year. We also loved seeing Great Grandma Severe and letting her see the kids. It was a really great way to end our trip in Oregon.

Picking Blueberries

Another of our favorite things that we did while we were in Oregon was picking blueberries near Madeline and Brytton's home in Albany. We went to a blueberry farm to pick them. IT was really beautiful out but we were also in the middle of a heat wave in Oregon. It was 103 degrees outside when we picked. The kids didn't last very long. After about 15 minutes they stopped and went and sat in the shade. I was sweating so bad but it was so addicting. I kept telling Enoch okay lets stop but then we would keep picking. Brytton came along with us and was so nice to sit in the hot shade and wait for us. I really appreciated him doing that. Thanks again Brytton. The blueberries we picked were large and so sweet. We picked 5 lbs. I was so sad that we didn't pick more after we got home. I froze them all and now we have blueberries to make smoothies and blueberries muffins and pancakes with. We got them for $1.25lb and oh they were so worth the price and the picking in the heat.

Gloria's Birthday in Oregon

While we were in Oregon Gloria had her birthday. Enoch and I made the cake. We thought that it would be appropriate to do something along the lines of the coast. We figured a crab would be the best. We had so much fun making the cake. It turned out great. We unfortunately forgot to bring candles and so the only thing we found was one big one. So Gloria got to blow out her one big candle on her cake. The kids all loved sitting around her while she got her cake and and then opened her gift from her whole family. Happy Birthday Gloria we love you.

Hug Point

One of our favorite places that we went to while we were in Oregon was Hug Point. You have to see hug point at low tide. At high tide most of the beach is covered up. Hug point is called hug point because before the highway was built the stagecoaches had to use the beach by way of travel. You can still walk along the original trail carved out by the stagecoaches. The wayside was named after this trail because it hugs the point. It was amazing to see the wagon wheels in the rocks. In the picture of Enoch helping Jacob up the rocks you can see the wagon wheels still on it. This whole area is covered up at high tide. There are also some caves that you can go into that have been carved out by the water. We loved seeing the stat fish in the tide pools as well as all the tiny clams. At hug point you actually walk around the point to another beach. If you aren't careful you'll get stuck at the other beach. While we were there the tide was coming in a bit and Enoch and Jacob were standing on some rocks not paying attention and a huge wave came up on them and got their shorts soaking wet.

Our family pictures were taken at hug point but at a higher tide.

Rockaway Beach

At the end of July we had the opportunity to go to the Oregon Coast with Enoch's family. We do this every few years. We all rent a beach house for the week. This time we got a beach house at Rockaway beach. The house fit all 22 to us. It was really nice and we were right next to the beach. The kids loved playing in the sand and water. Kaelen really loved playing in the water. We had to keep an eye on him because he loved to run towards the water. The week while we were there we had amazing weather. We all even got sunburned many times. A few things that we loved doing was playing Boccie ball in the sand, running in the mornings on the beach (at sea level you can run forever), watching movies and playing games in the evening. The kids pretty much spent all day at the beach if we weren't going places. I am wishing we could go back.

Crabbing at the Orgeon Cost

We were able to go crabbing while we were at the coast. It was so much fun. This year we actually caught crab. In the years past we were lucky if we caught 6 between us all. This year we hit the jackpot. We caught over 18 crabs and that was just our boat. Everybody else caught just as many. The day was really foggy and so it made it even funner because we couldn't really see anything around us. Rachel and Jacob loved it. Kaelen stayed at the house with Grandpa and Grandma Heileson. Rachel and Jacob loved helping pull in the crab nets and then would scream when all the crab would crawl into the boat. While we were out in the boats there was this island and on the island were tons of sea lions. That was really cool. It was scarey though because at times it seemed like they were ready to jump in the water and attack us. None did though. We were so close to them though. This year crabbing was absolutely the best. I am so glad that we spent the money to get our own boat and that we could spend 3 hours out crabbing. We were actually a little sad when we had to finish.

September 28-October 4

Monday September 28th-I ran this morning and got my but kicked. I ran almost 5 miles but ran with two other friends who are training for half marathons. They ran so fast especially for 6 in the morning. The last half mile I had to stop and run slower with one of my friends because my knee was hurting again. I think I just pushed myself way to much too soon. Stupid me. I picked tomatoes today from the garden and I spent the whole time freaking out because of how big the tomatoes were. I had about 8 the size of a grapefruit. It was awesome. I washed all the bedding today and then remade all the beds. Monday is bedding day in our house. So if anybody ever wonders what I do on Mondays you now know. I am usually washing bedding. signed up as a Scentsy consultant this evening. https://sundryscents.scentsy.us

Tuesday September 29th- Kaelen woke up at 5:30 this morning and never really went back to bed. What is going on. I spent most of the day canning Salsa. I couldn't believe how much salsa the few tomatoes were that I picked. Also I don't know how people can cut tons of jalapeno's. Wow when I cut them I couldn't breath and my throat and nose hurt. Ahh. I did enjoy canning though because it was fun to watch a good movie while canning. I watch Mansfield Park. Kaelen played outside most of the time I was canning and then took a nap for almost 2 hours which was so nice. I know why he did though too. With this batch I did 14 1/2 pints.

Wednesday September 30th-woke up this morning wondering if I would run and saw how hard it was raining and chose not to. It was freezing today compared to yesterday. Yesterday we were in shorts and today pants and sweaters. It rained and snowed off and on all day. It rained most of it though. The snow melted though before it hit the ground. I spent a lot of the day doing things around the house like cleaning bathrooms and cleaning other things. The weather sure make it feel like a gloomy day. In the evening Enoch and I went outside in the rain and picked the rest of our tomatoes and peppers. It is supposed to really freeze tonight and so we wanted to pick it all. It took us about 45 minutes. We now have 6 fruit boxes in our garage full of tomatoes. Once those become ripe I will can more salsa. It was sure cold outside. I was so excited when we were done to come in the house and get warm. Oh yah we had to turn the heat on. We haven't had the heat on since May and now we have to have it on. So sad. I think that fall is officially here.

Thursday October 1st-Rachel and Jacob didn't have school today. They actually don't have school today or tomorrow. It is a state wide teacher in serivce. I was hoping to sleep in this morning but nope didn't happen. Jacob woke up at 7:30 saying he was hungry. I spent a lot of the day working on Scentsy stuff and trying to get my sister in Canada signed up. What was supposed to happen at 8 am didn't happen till 5 pm. Don't you love technology. The kids helped me clean the basement in the morning. I ran a few errand to Roberts crafts in the afternoon. This store will cause my marriage to fall apart and us to loose our home. I love everything in that store. I did find some fun fall decorations. In the afternoon the kids and I decorated the house with fall decorations. Oh I love the colors of fall. I love the way my house feels and I love the smells especially the fall Scentsy scents. I will post pictures of all the fun things I did.

Friday October 2nd-Enoch and I tried to sleep in again but Jacob woke up early again asking to get dressed. I did a few things around the house this morning and then went to the dentist. So I grind my teeth. Yay. I hope that I still have my mouth guard. After the dentist I went to Roberts again and ran into three friends from church. We spend a while talking and then running into each other again to ask advise. I came home with some more fall garlands. When I got home I finished decorating. I cleaned a lot around the house and then Enoch and I went outside with Kaelen and planted bulbs. Today was a little warmer than yesterday or the day before. Still had to wear long sleeve shirts. For the last two nights Enoch's made dinner. Rachel has been a wonderful help to him. It has been really nice not to have to cook.

Saturday October 3rd-Happy birthday Heather and happy 18 months Kaelen. Can't beleive that Kaelen is 18 months already. This morning I was able to sleep in and I actually slept in till General Conference this morning. I woke up at 10. I didn't know that I was that tired. Must have really needed the sleep to sleep in that long. So conference today was amazing. My favorite talks were David A. Bednar's and Boyd K. Packer. Loved them. In between conference today we all did a deep cleaning of the house. All of the kids helped as well. Walls were washed upstairs, baseboards, windows, doors and even under the fridge and oven. It was so nice. The kids also loved working. After the afternoon session and before the Priesthood session the kids went outside with Enoch and played snag ball (a fun game made up by Enoch when he was a kid, I'll explain later). After playing outside we all went to Reed's Dairy for ice cream. None of us had been there before but man it was so worth it. I am not an ice cream fan but wow I could eat that stuff everyday. It was so creamy. I guess that Reed's dairy was rated as the best ice cream in the nation by some food magazine. I totally think it is. It was a fun treat after us all working so hard. The rest of the evening we hung out and watch football on TV. It was a good day.

October 4th-Conference was once again really good. I loved hearing President Monson talk about his birthday and the wonderful cards and gifts he received especially the jar full of 'warm fuzzies'. Our kids seemed to listen pretty good during conference as well. Other than conference we didn't really do much today. Enoch and I tried to play Bananagrams but Kaelen likes the game as well and just as we were about done Kaelen got on the table and destroyed all my word tiles. The game ended then. This evening the kids and I watched some missionary movie on BYU TV. It was not one that I want to watch again. The kids seemed to enjoy it though. Today was a good day except the weekend always goes fast on conference weekends. There is not much you can do between conference and it really isn't much time in between sessions so the days go by really fast. I feel like now that I have tons of cleaning to do even though we really cleaned yesterday. Going to church on Sundays gives us three hours of not messing up the house. Oh so Rachel got a new book in the mail on Friday. It is over 250 pages. She has now finished it. She has almost read her 400 minutes required for the month. You go girl.

We love Boise State

So the whole family now officially has Boise Sate clothes. This last week we bought Rachel, Jacob and Kaelen each sweaters. Kaelen got a onesie, sweater and pants for his outfit. Rachel's sweater is pink. I love it. I want to get a pink one that says Boise State on it. Today we all wore our Boise State sweaters. The kids enjoyed dressing up for the game which we watched on TV. We sure love Boise State. It is so fun for our family to all love something that much.

Jacob in this picture was shooting the photographer and of course Kaelen loved it and thought that it was hilarious. Notice it's the only picture of him smiling. Pretend to shoot Mom and he laughs. What a boy.

Kaelen is 18 months Old

18 Months and Growing

I am excited to announce that today Kaelen is 18 months old. I am also happy to announce this is my 100th post as well. Very appropriate for this to happen as Kaelen is 18 months. I can't believe how big Kaelen is and how much he changes everyday. We all love everyday with him. Every time he does something new we get so excited.

Kaelen is 24.6 lbs
wears 18-24 months clothes, his PJ's are 2T
He is wearing size 6 shoes

Here are a few words that he says:

• Mom
• Dad (loves to yell at both of us when we aren't listening)
• Rachel
• Jacob
• Bern (Bernie our dog)
• dog
• bird
• wa (water)
• milk
• yum (when he wants something to eat or eat what we are eating)
• cheese (smiles and squats down when you take a picture and then says cheese)
• cheese (the actual cheese)
• hi (will grab any phone and say hi to it. Loves to wave hi to everybody and say hi)
• Ball

• hooottt (hot)
• uck
• hi (for bye)
• one, two, three (his favorite is to say it the way he does and then jump into your warms, or jump off something)
• bang bang bang (he loves to pretend that anything that looks like a gun is one and then will make the noise of a gun)
• where is it?
• what's that?
• boo
• No
• shoes
• socks

A few fun things that he does:

• Kaelen loves to give kisses. He leans his head towards yours to kiss it.
• Just more recently when we say that it is time for bed he runs and grabs the scriptures and then sits down. If you say it's time for scriptures he folds his arms for prayer. He knows that after scriptures we have prayer. It is the cutest thing.
• Kaelen loves to help. If you ask him to put something a way that he got out he will go and put it back exactly where he got it. If you hand him something to throw out he will run and throw it into the garbage.
• When ever I tell Kaelen that we are going somewhere he runs and grabs his shoes (they match every time as well) and then sits down for you to put them on.
• He loves to brush his teeth. He is always getting his toothbrush and toothpaste out of the bathroom and wanting to brush them
• When ever you tell him Dad, Jacob or Rachel are home and screams and runs straight for the door saying their names.
• He loves to draw especially on the walls. He last week alone drew on the wall,s table or my bed 5 times.
• He loves to hide in our game closet. He will close the cupboard door and stand their very quietly until you find him. He will sometimes open the door and then yell boo at you.
• He loves to eat dog food and also throw it at the dog. The dog never really eats it though.
• Kaelen really understands everything that we tell him. He might not be able to talk to us very well but he sure understands. Kaelen loves to babble all the time and then sometimes will start laughing like what he said was the funniest thing. He also gets mad when he babbles to us and we don't understand what he wants.
• The minute you set the remote down or get off the computer he runs as fast as he can to them. He is always stealing the remote from us. When he does get it he runs the other direction as fast as he can.
  
• Kaelen loves to be outside. He could spend most of the day outside. He loves to jump on the trampoline and play ball outside.
  
• Kaelen loves to eat what ever we are eating. For the most part he doesn't want to eat his plate of food even if it is the same as yours. He mostly just wants what you have.
• Kaelen loves to dance. When ever their is music on he will dance around.
• He loves to to twirl around in circles till he gets so dizzy he falls over.
• He is your typical boy and loves to throw everything.
• He loves to climb on everything and stand on it, his favorite it the table and the piano. I hate it.
• He is so good at cuddling especially first thing in the morning. He will sit on my lap drinking his sippy cup and cuddle with my for quite a while.
• He loves to play with his brother and sister when they are home. He loves playing in the playroom with them.
• He loves to ride around on his big wheel. He can't pedal it but loves to push it with his feet around on the side walk or yard. He also loves to stand on it.
  

Playing on his big wheel.


bang! bang! bang!


Kaelen does a pretty good job eating on his own. He still spills on himself but for the most part gets it into his mouth and not on his clothes.

Kaelen loves to wear everybody else's shoes. He was wearing Jacob's shoes in this picture. I love the big shoes with the sweater and diaper.

Kaelen playing hide and seek in the game cupboard.

Fall is in the air

Fall has officially started even though by the calender it started a couple of weeks ago. This last week we went from wearing shorts to wearing pants and sweaters. A complete 180 in the change of the weather. I am excited to for the leaves to finally change color. I will say though that with the changing of leaves comes the cold weather. I seem to be cold all the time. I have to wear socks and slippers most of the time. I don't like that about fall. On the 1st of October I decorated the house for the fall. I realized after I decorated that I really don't have Halloween decorations. I have a couple of things but most is for the fall. The nice thing is I won't have a lot to take down. I bought a few new things as well. I have taken pictures of some of my favorites in the house. My favorite it my piano and candy corn tree.


I love the wreath on my piano. It looks so good. My friend saw it and then went out and bought a wreath and wreath stand for her grand piano.

My plant shelf. The lights are set on a timer so they are off during the day and then go on in the evening. I love having a timer and also a electrical plug in on my plant shelf.

My sofa table I love. I love the wicker balls with the fall leaves in it as well as my candy corn tree. It was really cheap to do as well. The vase was $2 at Walmart, the candy corn cost me $2 at Winco and the twigs came from the neighbors bushes. I wrapped the stem of the twigs with plastic wrap so it isn't touching the candy corn. When ever we walk by it we take one or two. It is a really cool looking decoration but a tasteful one as well.

I love how cute my candy corn tree is . Such an easy and cheap decoration.

I love my hurricane with the little pumpkins and then this other Southern Living decoration with fall leaves, berries and pumpkins it in. There is another dark shelf directly below it and it also has a hurricane that looks exactly like this one directly below it.

September 21-27

Monday September 21st-Had to drive Rachel to school this morning and lucky for me Kaelen and I were both dressed so at 8:30 in the morning we went to target and Walmart. I found some backpacks for 75% off. I got some for Rachel and then for our 72 hour kits. So excited. Canned pickles today. Nothing seemed to go right. I ran out of dill. One jar came open while processing and I had dill and vinegar in the processing water and then when I went to do it over I ran out of vinegar. So what should have taken 1 hour took 5 hours. I only got 8 jars out of it too. Picked Rachel up from Robotics, took her to piano and then took her back to school for a jump rope class as well as a birthday party combined. Lots of driving. Enoch planted a bunch of shrubs for me. 7 in total. For FHE we got McDonald's hot fudge Sundays and then sat around the table eating them while I read a story from the friend. I fell asleep at 9PM. Oh i loved that.

Tuesday September 22- Wow it is amazing how long you can spend on the computer doing nothing. I felt like I didn't do much today while the kids were at school. Kaelen on;y took a 20 minute nap as well. When the kids got home from school we were all going to go on a bike ride. They were not very good and so that didn't happen. I was really sad. I started canning pears today and once again one of my jars bottoms burst off. I was so ticked off. I was happy that Enoch was home because he took care of the mess for me. I decided for about 10 minutes yesterday that I was never canning again. Ok not true but I still really don't get excited anymore. I know how much work it is. Kaelen went to bed at 7:00 last night. I thought that he would wake up an hour or more later. Nope never did. Spent the rest of the evening after canning getting stuff ready for Achievement Day Girls on Wednesday.

Wednesday September 23rd-Kaelen slept 12 1/2 hours last night. That is amazing. I am hoping now that he will sleep better. We'll see. Just before I got into the shower this morning I got him a sippy cup. He went back to sleep and then after coming out of the bathroom and getting dressed I heard him laughing and talking with Jacob. What a lovely noise to hear first thing in the morning. I love happy kids in the morning. I don't get that very often so when I do it is like music to my ears. Canned the last of my pears. Yes I am done with pears. Spent two hours cleaning my sticky kitchen while Kaelen slept most of the time. Of course after everybody got home it was not very clean anymore. We all rode our bikes to activity days. WOW it is hard to pull two kids in the bike trailer. What a work out. Activity Days was fun. I came home with some fun book titles to read. By 7:30 in the evening I was exhausted and ready for bed. Too bad I didn't get to go to bed then. Oh well c'est la vie.

Thursday September 24th-Nope Kaelen was really bad last night. Oh well I got one good night of sleep this week at least. I spent an hour on Amazon and bought 4 books and 1 movie. Yahoo. I spent a lot of the day just getting things done around the house. I did get my bathrooms cleaned and was pretty ticked off when I walked in later in the day and Jacob and Kaelen had filled the sink with soapy water and then splashed it all over the mirrors, counter tops and wall. Kaelen as well was covered in water and soap. Jacob had decided that Kaelen needed his hair washed. A few words that I can't repeat came out of my mouth. The best part was that just as I said them Wendy answered the phone. Good thing it was Wendy and not the bishop.

Friday September 25th-I got up this morning before 6 AM and went running. It is so dark outside at this time in the morning. I ran with a friend. We ran just over 4 miles. My knee started to hurt during so a few times we had to walk. Stupid knee. I love running so it better not get worse. I haven't run for almost two months and so I think running over 4 was a little too much. I went and helped out in Jacob's class this morning. Jacob now sits in a desk near the wall instead of at a table because he talks all the time I guess. His teacher said that he is one of the smartest in the class but loves to talk and get distracted so he takes a long time getting any work done. When he is not distracted he does his work faster than most of the students. She said that she thinks he gets bored and so he talks. I am glad that she recognized that. I am sure he is. I love Jacob. Even while I was there a few times she had to ask Jacob if that is what he was supposed to be doing. So funny. That is Jacob though. He is so social as well as smart. In the evening Enoch went on a camp out for scouts and I went to the school with the kids to watch E.T projected on the school wall outside. It was so much fun. We wrapped ourselves up in sleeping bags and ate cotton candy and popcorn while we watched the movie. I loved it. Such a fun idea the school had.

Saturday September 26th- I went to a baby shower in the morning. Cleaned the house during the day. Went to Costco and bought a new camera. I thought that i had a memory card for it but found out after i got home that I didn't or I used to and now can't find it. I love my new Canon though. Rachel and I went to a baptism at 5 for a little girl in our ward who is 9 and wanted to be baptized. She was in my Achievement Day girls group last year and we actually taught her to pray at one of the activities. We asked who wanted to say the prayer and she said that she did but didn't know how. We told her what to say and then she ended up saying the most beautiful prayer that I had ever heard. I cried when she said it. From then on at every activity she wanted to say the prayer. She has been taking the missionary discussions and then on Saturday she was baptized. It was so wonderful for her family to be there to support her. She is an only child and lives with her Grandma. Her Mom attended the baptism and cried. I am sure that she will be a great instrument in bringing her family to the church. She is the sweetest little girl. After the baptism I went to the Relief Society broadcast. I loved it. During the broadcast I was a little sad that my sisters could not be there to watch it with me but then had the nice thought to know that even though they were not next to me watching it I knew that we were all watching it together at the same time but in different places. I did though have Rachael and Lindsay come with me. We after wards have a chocolate extravaganza. There is tables of all kinds of fudge, brownies, cakes, you name it they have it as long as it is chocolate. They also have a chocolate fountain with fruit and other fun things to dip into it. I love it. I ate three plates and went home after with a headache because of all the sugar. It was amazing.

Sunday September 27th-We went to church and once again I didn't get to go to Relief Society. Kaelen slept during Sunday school and then 5 minutes into RS he woke up and was screaming and crying. I took him out into the hall and when he calmed down I took him back in. Nope he screamed again so finally I took him to nursery. He wasn't sure what he thought and it took a long time for him to get off my lap. He is officially 18 months this next week. After church Boyd and Annelise came over for dinner and desert to celebrate Boyd's birthday. I made Cafe Rio's pulled pork for dinner with their lime rice and ranch and guacamole. It was amazing. I love that dinner even though it takes a little more prep and work than most meals. So worth it. Everybody loved it. For desert we had one of Boyd's favorites. I made chocolate banana cream pie with moraine on the top. It was really good and completely gluten free so Enoch could eat it. It was really yummy. Oh yes we also had real whipping cream on top. After we played a game of Bananagrams. Thanks again Noal and Wendy. We had a fun evening together and I think that Boyd enjoyed his birthday celebration. Oh yah after we ate Kaelen got on the tramp to jump and Enoch laid under the tramp and would kick the tramp from under neath. Kaelen would just sit and just fly in the air so high. When he got out of reach of Enoch he would move over till Enoch could bounce him in the air more. We all including Kaelen laughed so hard. Annelise took pictures and videos so I will have to get those back from her. It was so funny.

Week of September 14-20

Monday September 14-Rachel and Jacob had early realease today. Not sure what I think of that. The kids come home way too early when that happens. Rachel had piano lessons. She sure loves piano. We bought plants at Home Depot for $2.50 each (love good deals) and were going to plant them and it totally rained in the evening. That sucks.

Tuesday September 15-spent many hours on the phone and computer really doing nothing. Very lazy day. Kids were awful and I wanted to send them to their rooms for the rest of the evening without dinner. Kids For Sale.

Wednesday September 16-Took Jacob to get his hair cut for the 2nd time in his life. He did great. Absolutly no crying and he only kinked his neck to the side three times. I also got my hair cut to look like Victoria Beckhams. I love it and was going to take a picture of it to send to everybody but I wanted to fix my hair to my liking first.

Thursday September 17-My camera broke today. Ahh that sucks. So sorry no pictures of my hair. Went to book club tonight. Rachel babysat for an hour while Enoch was at a meeting and I was at bookclub. We read The hunger games and loved it. We talked about the book that then moved on to computer addictions then pornogography and then to the teacher who recently had an affair with a student. Blahh. It was a successful bookclub.

Friday September 18-went to help in Jacob's class. So fun to watch Jacob and how he is in class. That boy loves to talk. Went visiting teaching and then hung out at home. Kids played with friends and then in the evening we went to watch Grandpa Heileson talk at a POW meeting. Enoch took the kids to Applebee's while I was at a handgun safety class. Very entertaining. Most everybody was from Enoch's work. Oops said too much. Loved the class. We learned all about the parts of hand guns and how to load, fire them and then empty them. Afterwards watch Boise State play football. I kept wondering why the game was so different then from on the radio. TIVO. Enoch was an hour and a half behind watching. Fun game

Saturday September 19th-We all woke up early to head to Rexburg to the shooting range for my handgun class. Enoch and the kids watched the cowboy shoot off while I did target practice. I have found my favorite gun. I really love the 22 semiatutomatic. I loved shooting it. I also love smaller revolvers. Did a really awesome job. After we went home many people came to get their fruit. We are in the fruit business. Enoch and I were watching BYU play football and Kaelen came and sat down to watch it with us. He never watches TV and he sat for 20 minutes. Then out of knowwhere he said "football" as clear as day. It was so cute and exciting. Kaelen also said "Star" today. Yay Kaelen.

Sunday September 20th-Got up just before 8 AM. Made waffles for the kids. You lucky kids. Then spent an hour getting the roast into the crockpot. We had to dig all the vegtables for dinner from the garden. Yum. We just made it to church just in time. I was excited to go to Relief Socitey today. First time in months. I have been subbing in primary for ever. Well in the middle of Sunday school I got called out and was asked to teach Jacob's class. Jacob's teacher had to leave quickly. She is on call at the hospital in the women's center. So I didn't get to go to RS. Lucky for me the lesson was highlighted and ready to go. I had 5 minutes to prepare for it but it went well. Maybe next week I'll be able to go. Grandpa Heileson came over for dinner. He is all alone and so we fed him again. We played Bananagrams. Thanks Noal and Wendy. At 7 we went to a fireside with this master pianist. It was so awesome. Rachel stick with the piano.
