Around Our House

I missed last week so this includes last week. We have been so busy the last couple of weeks, mostly with church meetings and activities. In the past 2 weeks we have only had 3 evenings where one of us didn't have something. It has been too much! I'm looking forward to a more laid back week.

Last Friday Tommy and Bradley went on their first father and sons campout. They had a blast! Bradley did really well and slept great in the tent. So fun! Caleb and I had a shopping date and went to Hobby Lobby, Once Upon a Child, and JCPenney.

Sunday evening we had the Smiths, Barrons, and Stices over for dinner. It was fun and a little chaotic. The Barrons and Stices left pretty early so then we played games with the Smiths.

Monday morning Tommy left for Utah. He went on a recruiting trip to BYU. I was SO jealous and he had a great time! He got to see lots of people and had a great time going down memory lane. It was his first time back since we moved away. We have a serious love for BYU! He returned late Wednesday night.

he had a layover in Dallas so Matt and Casey (my brother and wife) came to see him!

I survived tommy being gone for the first time since having Caleb. I scheduled lots of things with people since I so easily get lonely but it ended up being a little too much and I think I burned myself out. I am so far behind on so many things and Bradley has been more disobedient than normal. That's why I'm not scheduling anything this week!

Friday night our friends, the Leflers, has us and two other couples over for a "Fall Feast". We all brought our favorite fall dishes and it was really fun.

I really enjoyed the women's broadcast last night. It provided some much needed spiritual nourishment and gave me lots of inspiration for ways to improve. I am looking forward to general conference.

Bradley had his first real dentist appointment. He did great!
