Garret's First Day of 12th Grade

 

Grandbaby

Tanner and Emilie told us on Labor Day that they were expecting a baby.  We were so excited!!  Unfortunately Emilie had a miscarriage a few days later and lost the baby.  It's crazy how sad you can be when something like this happens.  I felt so bad that we were so far away and couldn't do anything to comfort them.  

 

St Maries Firework Show

We had our friends the Orndorff's over for dinner Sunday night and then we drove to St Maries to see the firework show.  It is still the best firework show that I have ever seen.  We are so close to the fireworks and there are so many of them.  It didn't disappoint.

Grammy and Pompa came too.  They brought some friends with them.

 

Lake over Labor Day

We went to the lake on the Saturday before labor day and the Monday of Labor Day.  Our friends the Wolcott's came on Saturday and our friends the Damiano's came on Monday.  It was great to get some lake time in before the summer ends. 

 

Tanner's First Day of School

Tanner's first day of school at the University of Hawaii.  He is really hoping it is finally his last first day of school.  He thought that last year so hopefully it really sticks this time.  He is studying to get a Masters of Finance.  All of his classes are night classes.  He has class Monday-Thursday from 6pm-9pm.  Not his favorite.  

 

Ward Campout

We had a ward campout at Camp Peine.  The elder's quorum planned it so Kirt felt like he needed to go.  I had to work, so just he and Garret went.  There were 2 other families that came.  The Zapalac's, but just Chris and the 2 girls and the Keller's, but just Brit and her 3 girls.  So it was a little awkward, 2 men and 1 woman.  Good thing there were kids there.  Kirt took the boat and took everyone on boat rides.  

 

Seminary Reunion

It was my 30th class reunion today.  I had decided that I didn't want to go.  There isn't really anyone that I want to see that I don't already keep in contact with.  Then one of my high school friends planned a seminary reunion at the park a few hours before the reunion.  She invited anyone to come that was our year and a few years older and younger.  I decided last minute to go to it.  Going to this made me so glad that I decided not to go to my reunion.  It was kind of awkward.  I didn't recognize half of them.  I didn't have much to say to anyone.  It really wasn't that bad.  I think I'm just old and grumpy.
