Labor Day 2017

 It was so nice to turn off our alarms last night & get to sleep in today! Autumn & the boys went over to a friend's house to swim. Everyone was having a great time when we got there.

 We felt bad breaking up the party, but we had to take Julian & Mason home so they could get changed and pack up their stuff to leave. It was so hard for the older 2 boys to say goodbye to the younger 2 boys for a few weeks. It broke my heart.

 Frank & I drove them up to OK. We had to stop & use the restroom & get some gas. The boys wanted to take a picture by this car to send to Nate. LOL!

 We said goodbye to the boys when their Mom came to pick them up, then we headed over to Frank's parent's house. His Dad was outside working on trucks so Frank went over to see if he could help. I went inside and talked to Linda for a while.

 Even though our visit was short, it was so nice to see them again and catch up w/ each other, especially since it's been a while since I've gotten to see them. Linda even gave us some family names to take to the temple so we can do the work for them. They are such NEAT people & I just love them both so much. I'm grateful to them for raising such an INCREDIBLE son!

The sun was a huge, red, fireball tonight. It was SO NICE to have 3 hours of uninterrupted talk time w/ Frank. We talked about all sorts of things on the drive home. I love him more and more every single day. Especially when we have a difference of opinion & are able to talk it out. It makes us even stronger & closer as a couple. We made it home, had prayer & scripture w/ the 3 kids, and went to bed!
