Hooray for Dan!!!

We found out this morning that Dan passed the last two tests he just took! Wahoo!!! He has one left that he is taking in a couple of weeks. I know he will do great. We are both so excited for him to finally be done with getting his architecture license. Dan, I am so proud of you!

This weekend, I had to work Saturday so we missed Brooke's baby blessing :( Sorry, Tracie. We were there in spirit. We spent Sunday doing the usual stuff. Dan had a couple of meetings in the morning, then church (my CTR 7 class had to do sharing time in junior primary), Dan did tithing after church, then came home. We had dinner with some friends which was delicious. It is amazing what two families can put together at the last second for dinner. We bbq'd steak, salmon, and chicken. Adrianne made rolls and cantalope melon balls. I picked some corn on the cob from the garden and made brownies for dessert. It was a feast. We have some sad news about our pumpkin plant. It died. It became infested with squash bugs. It was gross. The trick we found out is to rotate the spot where you plant any type of squash every year or buy some special bug killer before they do too much damage. We were too late.


Monday we spent the morning sleeping in until 9 then went to breakfast. We went shopping at the mall then relaxed in the evening at home. It was nice to have everyone home and nothing really to do.


This morning we all went back to our daily routine. Dan went to work (that is when he found out about the tests), Kenna went to school, and Ryleigh ate breakfast. Lots of breakfast. She had 6 ounces of formula and rice cereal mixed with baby food apples and oatmeal. She will eat just about anything.
You would think milk in your eye would hurt. She just lets it sit there.

This is the aftermath of pigtails taken out last night. Nice do.

Bummer about the pumpkin plant. Too bad squash bugs won't get to our zucchini plants. We just harvested 13 just this last Sunday. We have too many and there are many more to come. We missed you this weekend but are looking forward to when you guys can make a trip out here. Congrats to Dan on passing his exams. Love the do.
