My dear friend Elisa L got a puppy! It's their first pet and it's the cutest. His name is Luka. Every Friday we have scripture class at her mother-in-law, Deanne's house and she's brought Luka the last few times which has been fun and we all take turns holding him.
Scott had his annual family work party/BBQ in August. The last few years we've had a cornhole tournament as an activity and the last three years Scott and I have won! I've loved that the last 2 years they've had this party at a park that's only 5 minutes from our house! In years past, and for other work events, it's usually in SLC, so this is great! Nora, Megan and elisabeth came with, although Nora and Megan just stayed for the dinner portion and then asked me to run them home, which I did. I was grateful they came for a bit.
Jessica and her family moved here from Indiana at the beginning of the summer and Jessica's daughter plays soccer with Nora sometimes so we've become sideline friends :). Since we both enjoy hiking, we decided to go for a hike together one Saturday morning. We did Lower Falls of Bells Canyon which is one of my favorites because it's steep but only 5 miles RT.
Scott and I went to the Piano Guys concert! We were supposed to go with Romney's, they were coming up from Idaho for it and had asked if we'd like to go with them, but they ended up not being able to come out anymore. Piano Guys were entertaining and fun and we love their music! If we ever go again, I won't do lawn seats again, or if we do lawn seats, we'll come really early and bring our folding chairs we bring to soccer games, because as it was, no one followed the rule about having your chair only be 12 inches off the ground or shorter, and we only got there about 10 minutes early, so everyone was there and set up with their big chairs which meant we couldn't see unless we stood. So we stood for most of the concert which worked, but next time, we'll try something different.
Sunday is the only day we all actually sit down and eat dinner together. We decided to add in another family night, so we have one more night a week now where we all meet up and spend time together, and we thought we'd need to make it worth their while since they're all busy teens, so we are trying to go out somewhere once a week, whether it's a cheaper dinner, or just for dessert/smoothies etc.
Week one we went to Menchie's frozen yogurt. Week two we went to shake shack. This week I think we'll go to Swig.
Elisabeth and Nora went skateboarding out in the neighborhood and dropped by the Haggins who were home! So jealous they got to visit with our dear friends that we haven't seen in way too long.
