2023, September 4-10

Labor Day led into stuff, some of which got photographed. For some reason, a lot of it had to do with the cat. 

We got an update of photos from Landon's camera. He likes to take selfies and pics of his friends.  

He had his first unit quiz in math. He's studying geometry.

Here's another funny meme flag Mike saw this week. If you know, you know. 

Eliza officially started 7th grade on Wednesday at Yates Place. She's already been doing some online school. 

Hallie got new glasses. She's still trying to get used to progressive lenses. 

More pics from Landon's school. The way the kids do school nowadays differs substantially from when Mike and Hallie were kids. Both Landon and Eliza have online and in-person components to their school days. This picture below is Chemistry.

Fergus has blessed the Landon boy. 

He then went on to bless the Mama. Hallie subsequently fell asleep with Fergus on her lap.

He also got caught blepping. Been a while since we caught him in the act. 

Hallie saw a ladybug and caught it on camera. Eliza loves ladybugs. This fun ladybug came in with some high school girls while they were bringing in snacks for the preschool.

Landon thought his bangs were cute. 


Fergie loves a lap. Hallie is happy to accommodate. 

Hallie helped out at the football game. Springville played Timpview, and Hallie thought it was interesting how the boys from Timp came in holding hands. The visitors won. Hallie had not worked a football game before, and it was definitely a new experience.

Eliza had a BUH end of summer beach party up Hobble Creek Canyon way. She liked hanging out with friends and diving in the pool. 

The boy really likes the cat. Here we go again. 

On Saturday, Hallie and Alicia attended the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. They got there kind of late for the majority of it, but they still had a good time. 



Heading home, they had food at the Crack Shack restaurant. The picture below is called UT Poutine. It was quite good. The slightly seasoned fries were really good.

Weather shifted into rainy toward the evening. It wasn't much, but it led to dramatic skies. 

After having his breakfast and a walk around the neighborhood with Mike on Sunday morning, Fergus disappeared when he got back home. At some point, we assumed someone let him back out, and then Mike heard heavy breathing in the corner of the living room. Here's where the kitty ended up.  


We ended the week with Hallie trying to make homemade spaghetti sauce from nearly six pounds of tomatoes given to us. It turned out fairly well. Hallie thinks she will try it in a different way next time. Sunday evening brought our Sunday Social in the alley. We had a smaller than normal crowd this evening, but we had one new friend come and her fun dog Phineas.
