Random photos

At the commissary with Delaney.

This is NOT okay!!  Summer is suppose to be winding down, not ramping up!

This child is a goober.  And she knows it.

I find all kinds of selfies on my phone.

And they make me laugh.

Who wouldn't love to find 500 of these in their photos?!

Rylee and Delaney became obsessed with stickers for their school laptops. I (perhaps used bad judgement) told them they were welcome to decorate them, so they did.

A selfie I sent to Josh as I headed out for a run.

Callie said Deborah made better chocolate chip muffins, so we tried her recipe.  They certainly came out looking perfect!  And they were delicious.

 

Making Friends

One of the families in our new ward invited us over to hang out and eat dinner.  It was kind of fun getting an invite from someone we had never met, but also a little stressful.  They told us they had a pool, and to bring swimsuits. So we did.  The girls had a blast in the pool and we had a lovely time getting to know them.  They are very cool and I wish stupid Covid hadn't ruined so much socializing.  We very much enjoyed getting to know them and it was an evening well spent.

 

Yeah yeah, another Tuesday Trail Day!

We actually found a really fun trail! It was nicely paved for a bit, and you could take a couple off-shoot trails as well. And it had 2 different little waterways to cross and lots of fun little things to explore and enjoy. It took us to this fun "pond" that was really just scummy water covered with cattails, but there was a cement area to run wild in. I'm pretty sure that area was for heavy rain flooding to run off on. But we had a marvelous time, and would do this one again.  

 

Visiting Cousins

Now that we are close enough to visit family, we decided we should.  So we did. Dan's brother is about 2 hours away, so we drove up to visit on Labor Day. Just a quick day trip.  Levi got to come with us.

We had a really nice day with them.  They grilled delicious burgers for lunch and it was great to hang out and visit.  And somehow I really suck, because these are the only photos I took that day!!

 

An unexpected visitor

I woke up Sunday morning after sleeping in and came out to sedan snuggling a strange dog in his lap. Whaaaat?!!  Apparently on his early morning walk with Levi, he had discovered a cute little dog roaming unattended and looking for trouble. The dog had only a shock collar on, with no tags.  So he brought him home. We posted on the local social media pages and waited. I was starting to get concerned that this dog would not be claimed and we would be stuck with it for a while. Levi was worried as well, since the dog was in his territory and was feeling pretty comfortable there.  

Finally his owner was located and came to fetch him.  His name was Oscar!  And we bid him farewell. Of course, many photos were taken to document his visit.
