Patience...and Wrist Issues

Nick's wrists have been hurting a lot lately so we took him to the doctor to get them checked out. The doctor was obviously running a little bit behind because we had to wait...and wait...and wait for him to come to our room. Nick did not wait so patiently...

He finally came in when Nick was getting off the table to leave...haha. And just like we thought, his wrists were hurting because of his work at the farm but it was easily solved with some wrist braces and a cream to put on them.

First Day of School

Hailey decided to take some selfies with my phone for her "First Day of School" pictures...haha. This year is freaking me out a little bit because both of these kiddos are in HIGH SCHOOL and I'm sending them off together in Nick's car rather than taking them myself of hopping on a bus. It's nuts to me that they are this old....which means I must be a little older than I think I am. :)

 ...and they're off!

Happy sophomore and junior years kids.

Our Sister Missionaries

We LOVE it when we get to see our girls! We got to take Sis Dahl and her companion to lunch earlier this month and then a couple weeks later they all got to come back to Lehi for a baptism. We LOVE when our house is filled with Sister Missionaries!

 Reunited!

 Just feels right to have these awesome sisters back in our home! :)

Bridge Jumping

Hailey and her crazy friends got into bridge jumping this summer and I can't say I'm a big fan. It took a little bit of convincing me that it was a safe spot but they ended up going several times throughout the summer.

AMAZING!

This summer Hailey taught herself how to play the ukulele and she not only learned many songs, but she wrote some original songs as well. One of them was a church song that somehow, her young women leaders convinced her to play and sing at camp. Heather happened to be up there that night since President Spencer was speaking at the Fireside and got the song on video for me. I was BLOWN AWAY that my daughter, who will not even sing for us at home, was playing and singing in front of a group of people. I was so proud of her for doing that and watched that video over and over and over!!!! It was truly amazing!

Selfies

Hailey was one of the camp photographers this year for girls camp and the last day she went around and took a selfie with every single person at camp...

 ...including the sister missionary from the missionary couple serving up there...

 ...and the bishop...

 (love the photo bomb)

 (cute flowers in her hair)

 ...and including the card board cut out of one of the leaders who couldn't attend.

So funny! In the slide show at the camp closing program they showed every one of her selfies in fast-motion. Love her!
