Oct. '18- Week 3- NFBD, UEA, McKenna's BD!, Pumpkin Painting, This is the Place, Pumpkin Walk, Talk in Sacrament Meeting.

Monday the carpet guys came to relay the carpet in the basement after the flood.  I got a bid for new rain gutters.  We went to the Nelson Family BD party at the McKellar's celebrating October BDs.  
Tuesday I attended Jan Evans' Scripture class.  That afternoon at ballet, Anna went to class nice this time, but unfortunately got a nice goose egg on her head when she accidentally ran into another girl.  Ben had Jr. Jazz that evening and I worked on cleaning pictures off my phone.  

Wednesday I went walking with Rachael around Lewis Park while the kids played.  We also went to school to sit with McKenna during her lunch since it was her BD spotlight day.  After school, we went to Hogan Park with the Roths.  The kids had piano, I vacuumed the basement and Zerorez came to clean the basement carpet as well as the stairs.  I went to music with Anna.  That evening we had a pizza party with cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's house to welcome Mia home from Brasil!  

Thursday morning Bart Nelson came by to look at the cracked concrete in the back to see about fixing it.  Then, with it being the UEA break from school, I took them all to get flu shots! We had Keva Juice and Great Harvest bread for lunch.  We played at the fire station park and then went to the music store to look for a new piano book for McKenna to help spark some new interest in her playing.  The Bramalls came by to help move basement furniture back on the carpet.  Ben had batting practice with Chuck Thompson.  We watched a cute Netflix show called "Room on the Broom." I worked on my Sacrament meeting talk.  

Friday was McKenna's 10th Birthday!!  Double Digits!  We opened present first thing in the morning.  
She loved her "M" necklace.

The kids played school while I got ready for the day.  Then we picked up Brittana and headed to the Gateway for Dan's work Pumpkin painting festival.  The best part was when Dan asked the DJ to surprise McKenna and have the crowd sing happy birthday to her.  They were doing a hula hoop contest when the DJ stopped everyone and had her come up on stage. 
Her surprise face was perfect!  She was so happy!


Then we headed to This is The Place for "Little Haunts" with almost all the Websters.  We did a creature encounter, trick or treating, pony rides, panning for gold, and the candy cannon.  
After that we went to Ugurt for a treat and we sang "Happy Birthday" to McKenna! 
So glad we could do much fun stuff on McKenna's birthday and spend time with Brittana and cousins! After Ugurt we headed up to Mantua.  Sadly, it was not the best nights sleep since Ben, Anna, and Bethany all woke up in the night.  

Saturday we ate and got ready for the day and then went to the Logan Pumpkin Walk with Mickelle and Jonathan.  It was beautiful weather.  Here are our favorite scenes.    
Greatest Showman
Hungry Caterpillar, Where's Waldo, 
Awesome Missionary display
Shrek, Nemo, and the miniature Pumpkin Walk scene.  
Always love the cut outs.  
We headed back to Bountiful in time for Anna to go to a gymnastics birthday party for school friend Emma.  We got groceries and organized the basement and Ben got a haircut.  That night Mickelle babysat while we took McKenna out to shop for a new birthday outfit.  

Sunday I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting based on Elder Uchtdorf's talk "Believe Love Do." I loved being able to study that talk and tie it into the doctrine of Christ.
