Playgroup

All during the summer we were involved in a playgroup in our ward. Stockton looked forward to it every week and we had so much fun with his friends! Here's some of the fun times we had with our playgroup.


Wild West Park in West Jordan with our neighbor Ethan.


Our neighbors Brittany and Matthew.


Playing at Classic Skating Fun Center.

Stockton loved all the blow up toys inside.

And he liked all the little rides and playing "tokens" (all the arcade games).

Then we went for a dip in the kiddie pool. Stockton loved going down the froggie slide.

Another day we went to he splash park in Herriman.

Stockton over took my lounge chair!

Food, Friends, Fun!

We got together for a much needed group date with my high school friends. We met at Texas Roadhouse and had a blast. I don't think we've all gotten together with our spouses for about 3 years. We were only missing Julie and Joe, but I guess we'll give them a break, since they live in Florida. It was a lot of fun to catch up. Loff you guys!

P.S. Yes I am standing up in this picture... stop laughing.

July 4th

Our long time friend Rafaela (Raffy) Petracco was in town this weekend! She came to Grantsville as a foreign exchange student from Brazil during high school. We got to be such good friends while she was here. It has been 11 years since I had seen her and it was so great to get to see her and visit with her today. She looks exactly the same and is just as sweet as ever. She is such an amazing person. She is now an OB/GYN and has been practicing for a few years in Brazil. Recently she started doing a research program at Yale, so she'll be in the US for a few more months. For the 4th she decided to come visit G-ville. I was so happy to see her! I missed her!

Love you Raff!

Happy Halloween!

It was a pretty fun and laid back Halloween for us. Work was fun because so many people had fun costumes. I went as a prenant nun. But, the "Ping Pong Champion" won the costume contest. We always play ping pong on our breaks at work and people have been taking it pretty seriously. He had ping pong balls tucked into his wrist bands and those are old shorts were found in a deep dark corner in his high school. He looked hilarious. He said he was trying to look like John McEnroe. I didn't know how that was - so I Googled him, and I about died laughing!

Brady's dad grew a pumpkin in his garden that was so perfectly round. So Brady decorated it like a basketball of course. We put it out on our porch and made it look like it was going into a hoop!

We just stayed at home. We hardly got any trick-or-treaters this year. Our friends Charlie and Eli came over with their son Max and as they were walking in other kids saw that there was a door on the side of the house, they just bombarded us. But that was it, we got no more trick-or-treaters after that.

We watched a semi-scary movie - Dragonfly. I had seen it before a long time ago, and that's why I agreed to watch it. (I couldn't watch something too scary, not with my pregnancy hormones... I would have nightmares for days!) I remembered the awesome ending, but I had forgotten all the scary parts, so I was still really jumpy.
