Happy Days...Take 2: October 2020

We tested Rue's progesterone levels again on October 1st and she was ready to breed! I took her that night over to the breeders house, who did Artificial Insemination. The stud is Goldman Sachs of Utah Goldendoodle, a tiny 8 lb red and white parti toy poodle. He did AI a total of 3 times with her. The boys went with me the third time so it was a good biology lesson for them!

The kids and I on another bike ride by Utah Lake.

This is Nolan's new picture face, and I'm loving it...

My client Camerone wanted to learn woodworking, so I found someone in my neighborhood willing to teach him! Brother Livingston in our bishopric was volunteered by his wife, haha, and it was so awesome. He helped Cameron make a shoe rack for his mom for Christmas. Cameron loved every minute of it!! The next week Cam and I painted it.

Uncle David came to visit. This is him and Jared "getting" Nolan.

Cousin Anthony wrestling Dallin and Nolan.

Spike ball with cousin Andrew and his wife Vanessa and cousin Alison's husband Dillon. We absolutely adore them all!!

Keith and Becky's family came to Utah and I did family pictures for them. Becky found this AMAZING spot up in Provo Canyon up Squaw Peak- the leaves are so gorgeous that they look fake! I loved these behind the scene pictures of me they sent me, haha.

Nolan, Rue and little Luke! (Cousin Alexa's son).

Presha, Steve and Lily came to visit!

We had so much fun with them! While my kids were in school, I went with them to see the temple being built, hiked to Battle Creek Falls, went to Cafe Rio, and then we also hiked behind our house.

Lily, Nolan and Dallin. These three really hit it off and had SO much fun playing together and kept in touch for a little while when she left!

Behind our house.

Rue drooling over the rotisserie chicken on the counter.

Fall photoshoot with Rue on our neighbor's front steps.

I cannot sit or lay down on the couch or my bed without Tucker doing whatever he needs to do to get up there to snuggle me!!

Jared spent a couple of weeks cleaning and making a piece of exercise equipment he bought look like new! He then sold it for several times the amount.

Dallin is forever and always snuggling Nolan. Any of us really, but especially Nolan.

Halloween dinner

A social distancing way to pass out candy! We dropped the candy down the top of the tube and it landed in their bucket. All of the kids and parents LOVED it, I think we'll do it every year just because of how exciting they thought it was, haha.
