Audrey's Dance Recital

 How do you win the hearts of all the Brown's? Have the cutest niece ever perform in a dance recital. It was so fun to watch Audreys little three minute song. It was so cute. The show was very well done. All the dances were tasteful, well done and Christmasy. It was my first Christmas event of the Holiday season.

Dan, Megan, Brooke and Anthony were also there. We didn't get one big group picture. Such a fun morning. I am so glad when I get to support my nieces and nephews in their life events. 

Random Fall

 Katie Call was in town for a couple if days and Erica and I met up with her. It was so fun. I love these Oroville girls so much. So so grateful they have played such a huge part in my life. I love catching up with them.

I dressed up as the Grinch for Halloween so I could bring Summit to work and have her be Max. My students thought it was the best thing ever.

We got ipads for the PE department. I am trying to be better at using it. So far I am not using it as much as I should be. But I did take this picture, which makes me laugh, for our technology coach.

I made some of Jacklyn's famous cranberry salsa. I love that stuff. I am so glad she introduced it to us.

I got some new Christmas/winter bedding. It seriously makes me so happy. It's a little ridiculous how happy it makes me but I can't help it.

I finally learned how to make the famous Webb family Sunday beef roast. I made it two weeks in a row. It was so delicious and I am so glad my mom and Nancy taught me the ropes. It is cool that my Grandpa Webb's mom taught all her daughter in laws how to make the food that her sons grew up on. The roast and yorkshire pudding as well as Christmas chocolates are two that my Grandma Webb was known for.

I got my mom, Nancy and Loralie water bottles. Jacklyn made a fun sticker and I love how they turned out.

We played some family Settlers over Thanksgiving break. I haven't played with my siblings in so long it was fun.

Sam posted this picture of Audrey on a daddy daughter date. he took her to Frazen the musical. I loved the picture so much I had to put it on here.

She is just so happy in both of these!

Other events: I went to Sam's kids primary program. It was awesome as always. their ward does such a great job. I wanted Andrew play football and Emerson play basketball. I love cheering them on in their sports. I did lots of biking on my tour bike with Summit in tow. I hiked usually twice a week with Eric and Jacquie Carter, it is so good for my body and soul. Amber and I try to bike or hike almost every Saturday. It is so good to have a hiking budy. Amber and I bought plane tickets to France for fall break. Jana and I handed out Halloween candy on Halloween. Erica rented out a theater for her birthday and we all watched the Taylor Swift movie. I have spent hours at the chiropractor and doing physical therapy for my back. I finally got an MRI. I have degenerative disc disease as well as a bulging disc. It explains the pain I have had as well as the headaches. I am learning that I am being forced to slow down which has been a really hard lesson for me. I am still serving in young women's. I love our girls. It is hard to have a weekly activity because it feels so busy with coaching but I know sacrifice brings blessings. Basketball has started. Toni Carlson is coaching with me. it has been so fun. Our team has a lot of athletes. we have already won three games and will win some more. I love that we are so competitive this year. My mom came to town for Thanksgiving and is staying through the New Year. That has been fun. Thanksgiving was great. We have had lots of Sunday dinners. I have done lots of shopping with my mom. It really has been so fun and nice. 

Escalante

 Anthony, Brooke and I went down to camp one weekend. We camped at Escalante State Park. The drive down was crazy. We didn't get out of town until 8pm on Friday night. It is a four hour drive and so it was a very long drive. I almost LOST it when google maps had me take a dirt road for 30 miles at 11pm. I was so annoyed. Good news is we made it. Bas news is Summit was not tired after the drive and pranced around the tent all night. Why is she so annoying?

We spent Saturday hiking calf creek falls and paddleboarding. We were very tired because we got in so late and Summit did not sleep. We made the most of the day and had a great time. I slept much better Saturday night. Sunday we woke up and did the hikes in the State Park and then packed up and headed home. It was so fun to get away and spend the weekend camping. I wish it was closer to Provo but it was a good time.

Fall Adventures

 I love love love the fall in Utah. I think it is my favorite season. I really worked hard to make sure I got outside and enjoyed the fall colors as often as possible. It was a really great fall. Cross country is also happening in the fall. I had a great team this year with great girls. The only rough thing was that my headaches were so bad during cross country season. Somehow I survived but there were times I did not think I would.

All the fall adventures

Archie, Than and Erica's dog spent a long weekend with me and Summit. We enjoyed some hikes and walks. Those two dogs were psycho together.

Summit was completely exhausted after Archie left. She can not stop playing while another dog is in the area. She is CRAZY!

Some of our outings included hiking Stewart Falls, hiking Rock Canyon, Mountain biking the WOW trail in Midway, hiking Slate Canyon. We hiked or biked every weekend and once cross country ended we tried to add as many weeknights as we could.
