Last Pack Meeting

Kyle and I had our last Pack Meeting last night and it was kind of sad.  The boys earned tons of awards and are really doing well, but I guess it is time to move on.  Kyle was called to be the Scout Master, and I was called to be the Relief Society President, so we are both going to be super busy and had to give up the Cub Scout and Sunbeam Teacher callings.

JUSD Picnic

Recently my school district put on a BBQ/Picnic for all employees and their families.  We decided to take our nephews and had a great time.  There were jumpers, a Choo Choo train, a petting zoo, crafts, a band, a creepy looking ventriloquist, and some decent food.

Front Porch

Kyle and I have talking and talking and talking about what to do with our front porch area, seeing that it was just dirt and rocks.  We finally had it narrowed down and had been discussing it for a month or so, but when our neighbor down the street asked for the phone number of the guy who did the concrete on the other side of our house, we jumped to action.  These neighbors bought the house directly across from us and are going to rent it out and wanted to have some concrete work done in the back.  Kyle talked to the concrete guy and worked a deal to have him form and pour at our house on the same day as our neighbor to save delivery costs.  So within the week Kyle had the area prepped, trenched and ready. They workers showed up early Saturday morning, put in the forms and poured the cement. 

Now we have to get Kyle's flagpole in place, the rest of the area prepped and ready for large pavers with grass in between.

BYU vs Pepperdine Volleyball

My very tall cousin, Emillie Toone, who used to play volleyball for the University of Utah and on the Slovenian National team, is now an Assistant Coach for BYU.  Sat, Oct 8 BYU played Pepperdine University, so my mom, brother Brian and I drove out to Malibu to surprise her at the game.  I bet as a coach now she doesn't get too many fans who come to watch her, so we thought it would be fun to show up. Unfortunately BYU lost 3-1 and totally could have won the 4th game but....somehow they just didn't.

Brooke & DJ's Wedding

Last month I was able to attend the wedding of a dear friend in the San Diego Temple.

  I think I will always remember this wedding because she called me at midnight the night before the wedding saying that they had forgotten the petticoat at home and they were already in San Diego for the night.  She asked if I could stop by her parents house on the way down to SD, "break into the house", retrieve the petticoat and bring it to the temple.  I did all of this with ease except getting there on time.  On the drive down the I-15 through Temecula there had been a CHP involved accident that caused traffic to back up for 45 minutes.  When we arrived at the temple, Kyle pulled up to the curb, I literally jumped out of the car and ran into the temple, where I handed the petticoat off to a Sister that was waiting for it.  They quickly ushered me up to the sealing room and I sat down right as the sealer was beginning.



Cheryl & Brooke (Brooke wore her mother's wedding dress and looked fabulous in it)



The reception was held at the Mission Inn in downtown Riverside and was gorgeous.  I love it when LDS receptions are NOT held in a church building.
