September 19 - Logan

We got Andlie & Hazey's soccer pictures at their games this morning.  They both turned out so cute!

Right after soccer games, we drove to Logan to celebrate Grandpa Allen's 85th birthday!  We spent a few hours at the park with most of the Allen family visiting and sharing food and hanging out.  It was great to see everyone!  Nora totally loved the ice cream.

I asked Grandpa what his advice was.  What he told me was wonderful.  "Try the hardest you can to be the happiest you can.  In your marriage and in your faith and in your family.  That's really what matters most."

Four Generations

After the park, we headed to Grandma & Grandpa's house where we spent the next five hours.

We went on walks around the cul-de-sac, petted a horse who was out on a walk with his owner, ran around in the grass, saw some chickens, played with blocks, visited, threw rocks in the canal, and ate yummy foods.  What a great way to spend a Saturday.

Stopped & saw the temple on the way out of town.

 

Nora totes hates the car.  Andlie & Haze fell asleep within minutes and she started crying about 30 minutes in.  I went & sat in the back with her about an hour in.  (Because my arm hurt from having to stretch it awkwardly to her seat so she could hold my hand.)  She immediately stopped crying.   And instead turned to non-stop conversating.  The rest of the ride went something like this:

Chandi: Nora, did you see some chickens today?

Nora: Ya!  Gam-ma's.  Blocks.

C: Did you play blocks?

N: Ya!  Annie.  (Played blocks with Andlie.)

N: Chick-kens.  Kitty.  Meeeeeeew.

N: Ya.  I ceam.

Bryan: Makes a "bloop" noise that he was making when they were throwing rocks in the canal that made her giggle like crazy.

N: Giggles!

Et cetera.  Et cetera.  Et cetera.  It was my favorite ride home in the back seat by far.  She's the very best little talker and it's one of the cutest things in the whole world.
