We had a super fun weekend with our friends from the good old days in Hobbs, NM. Brad & Whitney and their family came for a visit. It’s such a great feeling to know that even if you grow apart by many miles or 6 + years in time, the friendship is just as strong as ever. We loved every minute of their visit….and the kids had a great time too!
Whitney & Maren - BFF's!
Brad & Rhett (and Jackson)
Austin, Logan, Carson & Jackson Zimmerman
Grace, Abby, Olivia & Wilson Henderson
Rhett was promoted to Manager at his company, American Income Life, which means he’s working more hours now. He is now helping with recruiting, interviewing and training new employees. He also gets paid a higher commission % now, so we’re looking forward to that. He’s been there 6 months, and continues to LOVE it!
School started on August 23rd. Fifth grade for Austin, and First grade for Logan. They both like school and I’m glad to have the peace & quiet that the day tends to bring with them gone. No arguing or fighting!
Austin & Grace - age 10, friends since they were 1 yr old!
Logan & Olivia - age 6
Logan & Austin - First day of 1st and 5th Grades
Carson & Jackson play together well and can easily be entertained with Blue’s Clues on the free On Demand channel. They are both part of a kid swap group that a few of us have started on Tuesdays. Five moms take turns hosting 10 kids at their house, then we have 4 weeks with no kids for 2 ½ hours. Oh, what can I get done??? Today it was called sleeping in!
Carson & Wilson - age 4
Jackson loves to play in the backyard!
He was too tired for even one more cheese puff!
August also brought many changes in our ward Primary. First, we got a new Bishopric counselor to oversee our needs…so there was some orientation needed there. Then we had a super fun End-of-Summer swim party at the Bishop’s house. Everyone had a great time! It helps that they have the best backyard ever!!! We’ve also been dealing with many staffing changes and continue to work towards our annual Primary Program on September 26th.
With the rain & wind today the temps finally dipped below 90. The humidity level was up of course, but with the lower temps it was so nice! What a great day to curl up with a good book. Unfortunately I just finished the series I was reading (Fablehaven…that I would recommend. Really fun!) and I haven’t gotten the book yet that I want to read next. The power was out for 3 ½ hours and I couldn’t even run the dishwasher or do laundry….or even get the ironing done! So, I sat & made bracelets. Thanks Hermine!!!
Well, I guess that’s about it. Hope you all have a great September.
We love you all!
Rhett, Maren, Austin, Logan, Carson & Jackson
