The highlight of September was Brenda’s wedding.  What a perfect day!  I still can’t believe the weather cooperated, but it did, and everything turned out so nice.  I enjoyed watching Brenda enjoy the day! 

Other highlights of September were experienced at the millions of sporting events we attended!  Miriam and Ellie have both decided that soccer is their favorite activity.  I am sad if we don’t continue with Irish dance, but we’ll see…they just love soccer!  Enoch’s team has done great in their first year at the state level.  They are so much fun to watch!!  He still plays wing, which is A LOT of running back and forth.  So, after all that conditioning, when the entire school ran the mile last week, he came in first of the 4^th – 6^th graders.  Ellie surprised us too, by coming in 3^rd of the 1^st – 3^rd graders.  Miriam did really well too!  She was running with the 4^th-6^th graders and could see the winners as they crossed the finish line, which means she wasn’t far behind them! Maybe they will be cross-country runners when they get older!

Enoch had his 11^th birthday and graduated from Cub Scouts.  He earned his Arrow of Light and got his “All 20” certificate.  We had a surprise party with his soccer team, which was cold but fun!

Natalie chose to skip her soccer game on conference Saturday morning.   I thought it would be a hard choice, but she didn’t seem to think it was hard at all.  Her team suffered without her though, she is a very good defender and very fun to watch.  We were so glad that Jenny and Chad and family were able to go watch her play in Logan, since Bjorn and I both stayed home to attend Auriana’s choir concert.  Auriana sang beautifully and we enjoyed being there! 

Auriana also had her birthday and I enjoyed a mother/daughter shopping trip with her.  She always dresses so cute and impresses me with her ability to look for and find good prices.  She went to Homecoming the day before her birthday; her date, and the 10 other couples they went with, sang to her in the restaurant.

Isaac had his worst game and his best two football games last weekend.  We went to Heber to watch him play in the JV game where he came just short of scoring twice and lost 7-6.  We left him there to play in the Sophomore game while we went to the choir choncert.  He scored two touchdowns in that game!!  The next day in the varsity game, he was in for only about six plays, but he got the longest run of the game and an interception.  It was so exciting to watch!

 Conference weekend always goes by so fast!  We enjoyed watching the sessions on Saturday in Brenda’s clubhouse on the big screen.  Enoch had a game in Lehi between sessions, so that worked out better for us.  It was fun to have Rachel join us for conference and the game and a picnic…it was beautiful weather that day!  We spent Sunday at home and were glad that Teresa and Rachel could join us!  Brenda came over after and cooked a yummy meal for all of us. 

For FHE on the next day we had fun trying to use our notes to pick a title for each conference talk.  That part of our FHE was actually done while driving to help Matt gather his turkeys.  Enoch helped Matt and his brother catch the 47 turkeys while the rest of us watched and counted in amazement as they all fit into the back of a covered truck.

We are looking forward to Ellie’s baptism on Nov. 30 at 11:00 am.  We would love to have all of you come!  I realize it is Thanksgiving weekend and lots of things are going on, so come if it works out.  We will enjoy you “in spirit” if you don’t come.
