Fall Happenings

Fall is always a busy time but it's also my favorite time. 

Temperatures recede from miserable to bearable and then there's fall colors to behold. 

Sometimes we even accomplish some things too.

I got the house already for fall and Halloween early this year. I figured time is flying by and I wanted to enjoy it for more than a minute before we put up Christmas stuff.

 I had some time off and I hated to waste it when there are still so many projects to finish in the house. So I got out the kit we bought over a year ago and redid the cabinet in the bathroom. And then because the shelf and the frames looked dumb still medium oak I painted them too. I managed to get everything done but the handles put on. I'm just gonna wait until we redo the kitchen and have them do these ones too. I'm not excited about drilling holes in my cabinets myself.

 While I was at it I tried to get a plumber in to change out our sink faucet and the shower trim kit that have also been sitting there for a year. Of course the handy plumber guy isn't around so I had to pay Whitney Water Systems to come do it. That wasn't cheap but so worth it to get it done. Of course he ran into some troubles so I'm glad we had a professional in there doing the work. And more than anything I'm super glad that little project that ended up being not so little was finally done. I even repainted the pillar that got dinged up when we moved the china cupboard in. I did lots of touch up painting all over too. DONE! Well with that anyway.

I'm really liking the after picture.

 We went to lots and lots of soccer games this fall. It stinks that they are all in Moapa but oh well. I didn't take lots of pictures but here's a few. I particularly love Cooper as goalie just hanging on the post bored during the game.

 Charlie & Alisha came to a game and brought Polly. The kids were enthralled.

The Stake Presidency got to serve ice cream to the women who attended the Women's Broadcast. Could they have looked any cuter? I think not.

 Speaking of cute...Our newest addition turned 1 month in a flash.

I'm also including this pictures even though we weren't there because I love them. 

Jeff & Rachel and Terry and his wife came down to NC for the Wake Forest/Utah State game and stayed with Hayden & Megan. They all went to the game together and had a fun weekend. I love it when my kids have fun together. I wish we could have been there.
