Track Meet and a New Ward

Last weekend we had a lot of fun spending time with family.  On Friday, my parents stopped by on their way home from the airport.  They had spent the week in Hawaii!!  They brought us back some fun gifts, like flowers, necklaces, shirts, hats, and yummy chocolate macadamia nuts!  Yum!  

 On Saturday, Nick worked that day, so the kids and I did some cleaning around the house before heading up to Ogden to watch Uncle Chris run at a track meet.  He runs for UVU and is pretty fast!  Krissy and her family was there, mom and dad, and Matt's family.  It was a lot of fun!  He only ran one race, but it was still fun to see him in action.

 After the meet, I picked up Nick from work and we met back up with Matt's family, my parents, and headed up to Huntsville to see Matt & Nat's lot that they bought to build a house on.  It is beautiful.  It overlooks pineview reservoir and has a great view of the mountains.  After that, we all headed to Pleaseant View to look at our lot.  My dad hadn't seen it yet.  We did make a quick stop to Wendy's for some frosty's and fries.

On Sunday, our ward had stake conference, so we took advantage of not having any Sunday responsibilities and attended the Pleasant View 18th Ward, which will be our new ward when we move.  It was wonderful!  Everyone was so nice and the kids loved it!  They have a much smaller primary than we have now, but that didn't seem to be a problem at all for the kids.  I enjoyed going to RS and Preston did great in nursery.  The only problem I forsee us having is getting used to the gap in the chapel benches.  Normally we can color with crayons all over the place, but this church building's benches have a gap between the seat and the back of the bench, so anything that rolls goes right to the floor behind you.  But we can manage.  Carson made a friend who loves Lego's and he can't wait to play with him!  (Think his name was Graydon).  After church, we drove around a bit and then stopped at a park to have a snack before heading home.

When we got home, we boxed up some more games and toys from the kids' room and enjoyed some of Grandma's chocolates she had brought us from Hawaii.  It was a wonderful weekend!
