Visitors, football & fun!

(Sept 8, 2016)

My Mom and dad really wanted to come out for a quick visit to see Carter and visit the family. We were happy they decided to come after the homecoming so we could spend more time with them and also this way they could see Will play football too!

It was a BIG Game too Alta was playing Timp View at home :)

 The weather was perfect and the energy was INTENSE!! I was so happy they were here to enjoy the game with us!

 Brianne and her buddies in the student section! She ended up going back and forth because this game was so stressful!!

 Check out our student section! In fact the entire stadium was almost full! It was awesome!! This game was T-I-G-H-T! When I was looking back in my journal about this game the work I used was EPIC! It was an intense game and I had ZERO voice left afterward!

 The good news is that WE WON! So it was fun to take after the game photos because it was a really great win! Exactly the type game you want to see when your visiting from our of town right?! Haha!

 Here's the score! Grabbed this off of Will's snapchat with his buddies! An awesome win by our Hawks! The next day my Dad and Chan went with Tom & Mark to the University of Utah vs BYU game! Talk about perfect timing! My Dad hadn't been to a BYU game in YEARS! In fact he had to borrow a shirt from Carter to wear! And the only reason Carter had it is because Mack gave it to him! Haha! Mack is down at BYU now and is playing for the Y.

 This game was another barn burner! In fact, funny enough, was soooo similar to the Alta game the night before! But the University of Utah won! As usual! Hahaha! But it didn't matter they had a super fun time anyway!

 While the guys were enjoying the game us gals went out shopping. We went to the Wood Connection- a place that sells wood craft projects. It's very fun and it's something my Mom cannot get at home. We also went to see AtHome- my favorite home store!

 On Sunday it was September 11th so we thought the perfect activity would be to go and see the healing field in Sandy. They place a flag for every person that dies in the attacks on 9-11. It's really awesome to see. Each flag also has a tag that tells that persons name and story. It is a beautiful tribute and I knew they'd like to see it.

 We also watched a documentary that day with the kids and my parents. It was very good and I like to make sure my kids understand what happened that day and it was good to get my parents perspective too.

 I was glad that we went- it was a good day!

 The next couple of days my parents spent downtown each day going to some classes they had signed up for to help them with selling Doterra. They enjoyed the classes and said that they learned a lot from them.

 The last night before they left we all went out to eat at our favorite place Bonsai. My Dad treated which was very kind! we enjoyed a yummy meal and visited a bit before hitting the sack.

 The last day on that morning we went south to see the Provo City temple and to hit a couple of Doterra stores near there before they left for the airport. It was my first time seeing that temple too- it's just stunning!

I am so glad that my parents were able to come and to spend some time with us! Even my doggies love it when they visit! They got some treats too- a new bowl set! Thanks Mom and Dad for coming and spending time with us! We love you!

PS- On a side note Brianne also got a job while they were here! She got a job as a sweeper at her elementary school right by our home. She was a bit overwhelmed at first but now loves it! She goes every day after school for a few hours. It's a great job for a young kid! :)
