October 25-28th

24th: Our actual anniversary and the primary program were today.  The program went off perfectly...better than I could have hoped for.  And seriously, none of that was my doing.  My two counselors are INCREDIBLE!  Annette wrote the program and Julie pulled off tons of behind the scenes work & kept hold of the fort while I was gone all week and for their first practice the previous Sunday while I wasn't there.  My music ladies, Brenda (pianist) and Penny (chorister) were amazing!  The kids were the stars of the show and the spirit was so strong.  They were sweet, comical, and made everyone cry & laugh which is always a hit.  The music was beautiful and I was so grateful to be able to rub shoulders with those incredible kids & those sweet women.  We had a chilll primary time since the kids all did so well to memorize their parts and they watched a movie & had donuts/cider. Lunch at Cleaver's and the evening at home.

25th: HUGE catch up day.  Home all day and just getting caught up on laundry, phone calls, paying bills, unpacking all the way, chatting with friends, primary stuff, work, etc.  Good day though & got tons accomplished.

26th: Spent the morning visiting teaching and then took Grayson to a playdate at Max's house while Beckham and I ran to Purdum's fruit stand for some yummy green apples.  Got home, picked up Gray-man, and came home to put together some caramel apple kits to thank my presidency/music people & some friends and they turned out so cute.  Ran those around to everyone that evening & then chilled at Pete's for the BSU game that night.

27th:  Candace's baby Ashlynn was born today!  Yay!  So excited for this sweet family & wish I was there to help her & love on her and the baby.  So grateful for this girl and Grayson already told me that "Beckham is gonna marry baby Lyndin and I'n gonna marry Ashlynn."  So it's set. (:  Beckham had his post op check up for his ear so I left Grayson & Taylor at cousin Elizabeth's to hang out and Bex and I went to town.  The wait is always long and the appointment took seriously about 3 minutes, but his hearing is great!  The tubes look great and so do his ears.  Hallelujiah!  So happy to hear that news.  We ran to Costco, the accountant's, and two TSFL friends' houses and then headed back to pick up Taylor & Gray.  Grayson had a ball with Elizabeth's littlest, Rylee, and they were so cute together-hugging and loving each other (they are third cousins?).  Headed home and everyone but me fell asleep.  (:

28th: Today was Greg's 3rd birthday, so we had to call & wish him a happy day.  Love that boy & wish we could see him more often!  Grayson had an asthma check up, so Bex stayed home with Daddy and Grayson and I left.  Everything looked good.  She told us to continue with the pulmicort twice a day for another 3-6 months and she thinks he has a good chance of growing out of it.  The nebulizer has seriously made a positive difference.  We weren't religious about doing the treatments on our trip and we could tell that it wasn't a good thing.  So we're back to being good about it & on schedule and he does so good.  He is a champ about holding his mask and just being a good sport.  We visited Amber & Becca & families for a bit with some apple kits and then headed home.
