Matt's 10K and Grandma Jan & Aunty Mel's Visit

On Sept 15th Matt and his friend Patrick ran the 10K (6.2 miles) at the Air Force Marathon.  They didn't train much at all for it but they did great!!  Just over 1 hour - Good job guys!!!  :)

Great job!!!    

and then.........

Grandma Jan and Aunty Mel came to visit us!!

My mom and sister Melissa came out to Ohio to hang out with us for my birthday and (more importantly) for Connor's first Primary Program.  We had a lot of fun!  We made pottery, had a fun birthday, watched Connor's soccer game, went to Clifton Mill and had a girl's night while Matt and Connor went camping for the Father and Son's campout!    Girl's night was a lot of fun, Briella did awesome!  She even enjoyed shopping with us!  We're teaching her young.  :)

 We went to Build a Bear after my birthday dinner.  My mom was getting Connor a belated birthday present.   It was his first time there.  

 Aunty Mel got one too!  :)

Connor loves his bear and LOVED going to Build a Bear with Grandma and Aunty Mel.

Birthday dinner at Spinoza's!  Delicious pizza place!  :)  Yum!!

 Birthday cake at our house afterwards.  Yummy homemade carrot cake!  :)

 

 Visit to Connor's Preschool

 Connor and his teacher Mrs. Morter.  We LOVE her!  She is fantastic!  :)

 The restaurant has the best breakfast there and the BEST pancakes ever!  They are HUGE, as you can tell.  

We got the seasonal pumpkin pancakes with cream cheese icing - oh my goodness - Heaven!!!  :)  

Connor's delicious '2nd breakfast'.  (That's what he calls brunch.)

It was so fun to have them come visit!!  We love you lots Grandma Jan and Aunty Mel!!!
