A Busy Month With Lots of Things to Do!

It's the end of September.  It was a busy month.  I thought about blogging often but did I get around to it?  Only in my dreams!

So what happened?  Well, work changed DRASTICALLY.  We lost a lot of our workers to other departments and/or retirements.    Barbara retired, Baerbel and Sylvie and Paola were moved and that left Heidi and myself to man the "store". (so to speak)  It also changed our late shifts from 1-9 pm to 11-7 pm.  And without Sylvie, I have to work all the late Thursdays.  Heidi is going on vacation soon and that will leave me.  We have missionaries, too, but staff is indeed small now... So it will be interesting to see how things work out.  I will be teaching 3 Polish classes this month.  It was supposed to be Sylvie teaching 2 or them, but again, with her new assignment, I now have them all.  And lots of our assignments have changed as to what we do on an average day.  It has been somewhat stressful and hopefully we will adjust or some things will be adjusted.  Well, that's it for work.  Now on to other things.

Brecklyn had a birthday.  She turned 9 and here are some birthday pictures.

Here we are at Jamie's,  and it looks like the gangs all here!

 Jamie had a birthday too.  September is a big birthday month in the family.  Jake has one, too. But I don't have any pics of his.  Sorry Jake!

 And a little fun in the sun, as Logan becomes a real football star!

 This guy got a handsome haircut.  He has also definitely grown a "Foot or two"!

 Ty is also in football, but is playing "Flag" football.  He did really well and made a major touchdown run in Lehi running from the opposing team's 5 yard line all the way to the goal on the other end of the field.  Talk about excitement and a proud grandma!

 Homemade ice cream at grandma's.

 You can always tell who has been on grandpa's computer lately...

I love this picture. Ty and grandpa talking all things baseball!

A little more football action!  Yeah, it's been a busy month, but now it's almost October, one more day to go!  And then I will have one of those icky mile-stone birthdays.   Yuch....
Have a great fall everyone!

New "Tradition"?

Yes, it has been a while since I last posted.  I keep meaning to...and then life gets in the way!

Today was Sunday and in the afternoon we did something that I have been doing each Sunday afternoon.  Homemade ice cream!  And it's easy, few ingredients, all organic and healthy. 

Brecklyn and Ty helped today.  I bought this little ice cream maker at the end of last summer, 2012, at Costco.  It was the last one and it appears they were trying to get rid of it.  So it was CHEAP.  I would call it a steal... because I priced it and the cheapest I could find it for anywhere was $60.00.  It takes about 30 minutes to make the best ice cream ever.

We made a little mess along the way, but it was fun, none-the-less.  Today's flavor was mini mint-chocolate chip.
