We officially have two teenage, licensed drivers! We had really hoped that we would be able to snag two driver's test appointments the day after their birthdays (a Saturday) but underestimated how quickly the appointments would fill up. Within seconds, all appointments at any facility within 30 miles of us were gone! So, Logan had to wait till the following Monday. But, they both passed, and we're all enjoying having twice as many drivers in the family!

Teacher Friends
Sometimes you're subbing in Elementary school when the 5th graders go on a field trip to the Jr High, and your teacher friend sees your son there, and sends you a picture:)

Gethsemane
Jake decided he wanted to sing the song "Gethsemane" in Sacrament Meeting, and Ali agreed to accompany him. They both put in a lot of time and work to get the song ready and practiced together both at home and at church. They both did an amazing job.

Eclipse
We got the glasses, got the kids who wanted to see it out of school, and enjoyed what we saw. After hearing about peoples' experiences with totality I was disappointed we chose not to drive a few hours to see it (we thought about it)...next time I'm gonna try and see totality! But, this was still pretty fun to watch.

He's 9!
Happy Birthday to my youngest! He had a lot of fun planning his Lego-themed party with me, and loved explaining each game and activity to all his friends.
He's been wishing for this Lego set for more than a year, so we went ahead and made his dream come true:)
We sure love this kid.

New 'Do
Logan got a new hairstyle! It's really different than he's ever had it, and takes a lot more work to get it just right, but he loves it and has stuck with it. Paired with his new leather jacket that he got for his birthday, and he's looking pretty smooth!

Date Nights
Jason and I have been on some fun dates lately: we finally used a Christmas gift card to a place we'd wanted to try out. It's a bit hard to explain but it had a bunch of rooms with several different interactive games you could try out in each room. Each game lasted only a minute or two, and you'd go in with only your group. They only let a certain number of people into the place at a time, so you never had to wait long to play. It was really a creative place and a lot of fun!
In this room, you had to find the one button among probably a couple hundred buttons that were the same as the one they showed you. The more you find, the better your score.
And we went to the wedding reception of a young man we'd known as a little boy. Some other dear friends from that ward were also at the reception- the Maduras. We all were newlyweds together with several other couples in the ward at the time, and we all had kids around the same time too. It was a special time with a special group of people. It was so good to catch up with them and reminisce.
