and chocolate cream pie.

His party was...

BJs with Pizookie and ice cream cone with sprinkle confetti,

and Lego Ninjago building fun! 

 

Fall Break 2024

Inks Lake Camping 

For Fall Break this year, we headed to Inks Lake. We got adjoining campsites with our friends the Leflers. 

We enjoyed paddling,

jet skiing,

playing at the campsite,

outdoor movies,

and playing cards.

It was warm during the day for swimming and cool at night for sleeping. Perfect! 

The saddest thing was that we had not just one but TWO of our paddle boards explode in the sun. Lesson learned the hard way!

 Nana & Papa's Visit

Nana & Papa came to visit between Fall Break and Ethan's birthday. Ryan and I took Friday off work, and we drove up to Austin. 

We took a tour of the State Capitol,

ate Terry Black's famous BBQ for lunch,

and walked along the riverfront.

Fall 2024

Apex Fun Run

The school does a fundraiser in October each year. It was fun to be there as a teacher this year.

Ryan & Lindsey's Birthdays

43! Ryan actually delivered a key note address on my birthday, so we headed to SwRI to listen. He mentioned it was my bday in his bio, and I got a shout-out, which was cute.

Before I was brave enough to decline, my teaching team bought me lottery tickets for my birthday. Right before Saturday Conference, we scratched them all.  Pretty hypocritical, I know.

Anyway, we won $5 but just threw them away. Haha.

Cross Country

Brennan ran middle school cross country again this fall. It's a 2-mile race since he's still an 8th grader, but next year will be 3-miles at the high school.

Brennan PRed at the District Cross Country Meet in October, beating his season start by 2 mins.

It was ridiculously hot and they had waited hours and hours to run. Proud Momma! 

BYU at Baylor

We drove to Waco one Friday night to cheer on BYU. We stayed in a nearby Marriott, and it was filled with other BYU fans. Good times! 

The Cougars creamed them, and it was a great time.
