Sunday- some funny pictures before church.
At church it was Steven Nelson's mission homecoming. I helped Cari Moss with her RS lesson by talking about some of the blessings of Dan being the Bishop and how our lives have changed for the better. We had dessert at mom and dad's house that night to celebrate Dan's dad's BD! We're so thankful for his kind and generous presence in our lives.
Monday morning I wasn't feeling too well (feeling nauseous), but thankfully it passed later that day. Sam and Lara dropped off Hailey then left for their Hawaii trip. We took Hailey with us to Anna's gymnastics and had a pretty normal afternoon with Anna at preschool and naps for the Hailey and Bethany.
After kids were in bed that night, I went to Mickelle and Jonathan's new place to help get them unpacked a little more settled. We made great progress that night in the kitchen in particular.
**That day I was given a sweet gift of flowers from Mary Smart to say thank you for sacrificing Dan's time as he serves as Bishop. It was so thoughtful and kind of her! <3 p="">
Tuesday I got the three girls up and ready and then took Hailey to her preschool (unfortunately a little late), then I took my two girls to shop for McKenna's BD presents. After that, we spent a few minutes at 5 Points Park before picking Hailey up. We had a normal afternoon of carpool, Ben's gymnastics and homework, then dinner and bedtime.
Wednesday I did matching hair on all the little girls.
Then we packed a lunch and headed to 5 Points Park again for some play time. Thankfully the weather was nice and Brynn met us there for a bit. Later that afternoon, after naps, I took the kids to get their flu shots. Everyone survived and Hailey was a great cheerleader.
We also stopped by McKenna's class at the end of the day to see her BD spotlight! She loved that she had a free dress day the day before her BD.
Anna and Bethany to a little BD party for Brooklyn Moulton. I also helped Mickelle unpack some more that night.
Thursday was UEA Fall Break and also McKenna's 9th BD!! I think I'm gonna feel really old when she hits double digits next year!
She went to breakfast bright and early with Dan. Then she came home and we opened some presents. She got a new Lego set, a new docket for school, some jewelry, a pair of leggins and a little panda figurine.
We packed a lunch and headed to West Bountiful Park for some playing with friends. It was sunny and warm temperatures, but unfortunately the mosquitoes were horrific! Also, Ben's first front tooth got knocked out!
I got these funny pictures of Bethany pausing to go #2. :)
After Bethany's nap we headed to Jump Around Utah for McKenna's BD activity of choice! Dan met us there after work.
It wasn't very crowded and the kids had tons of fun for about an hour and a half.
Here's a bunch of Boomerang videos!

We tried to get some family jumping pictures. :)
We had pasta salad for dinner, watched some of the new Beauty and the Beast, then had ice cream cake!
McKenna is a wonderful big sister, very creative and imaginative, so smart, and a wonderful first born for us! I'm so excited to see all she grows up to be (just not too quickly)!

McKenna's 9 Year Stats
Height: 51.7in (2.5inch increase in 1 year) 45th percentile
Weight: 51lbs (6lb increase in 1 year) 10th percentile
After kids went to bed, Dan cleaned out a clog in our kitchen sink. You can see he was thrilled.
Friday Dan went to his work's Pumpkin Painting Festival at the Gateway and then officiated in a wedding which had to move time and location due to weather. Ben helped Dan with the Pumpkin Festival. (Later, all of us at the Logan Pumpkin walk with Adam and Amelia.)
Then we packed for Mantua and headed north. Adam and Amelia joined us in going to the North Logan Pumpkin Walk. The theme had something to do with "time." Here are some of our favorites!

Batman
Moana and MC Hammer Time!
The best was this gigantic Star Wars display!
This "Bingo Time" one was Dan's Dad's company, Legacy House of Logan.
More Star Wars
They have a witch at the end which freaked Anna and Bethany right out! She had really great make-up on and looked pretty realistic!
The cut-outs are also always a hit! Here's Bethany with her silly faces.
After kids were in bed, we watched Count of Monte Cristo.
Saturday Amelia and Bethany did some bonding. Mia would hold Bethany's cheeks so sweetly and then Bethany would get tired of it and pull away. :)
We cleaned up and left by 10 so we could make it back in time for the Utah football game with Dan's parents. It was pretty chilly, and the Utes lost, but it was still fun times.
