the weekend

Weekends around here in Sept. generally mean early mornings and tired Sunday's. Most everyone works for NSP the photography co. I work for. This Sat was no exception. Everyone but Melia and Spencer went to Everett with Doug and I to help shoot over 150 youth soccer teams!! It was a long day..a bit wet. But we all made good money so that makes it worth it.
Most everyone but me will have a bit of a break till state tournaments start in Nov.

We spent Sunday a bit sleepy after getting up at 4am the day before. But, we did manage to watch both sessions of General conference. ( OK Doug watched both...I fell asleep through part of the second one.) and Doug even made some jelly from the grapes we have in our yard. He is really quite an amazing guy. There is not much he can not do!

Jesse , tressa and Peyton went down to Portland to watch a lady in our ward run a marathon. Seems they all had a good time despite the rain.

Spencer had a big XC meet on Sat. down in Salem OR. He did pretty well and seemed happy about his run.

Alesha is keeping busy down in Utah. Mostly with school work. She did find time to go to a big haunted house yesterday in Salt lake and really enjoyed it

Madison had her 6 month check up and is in the 30% for height and weight and hasn't really grown very much since her 4 month check up. But Dr. thought she was doing really well.
She eats solid foods and just loves them!!!
