Carter was so pleased with himself when he made the cross country team at his junior high school. He made a lot of improvement this year and is running a much quicker 2 mile race.  His last race was a bit over 2 miles and he came in at 17 min and 24 seconds. Over the month he was racing he dropped 5 minutes from his time. Way to stick with it Carter. He is looking forward to doing cross country again next year. 

 Last weekend we had a little  moving crew head up to Idaho to help Cynthia my sister move into her new house. They moved about a block down the road from their old place. Their new home is marvelous. Very pretty. We sure worked hard and still didn't get enough done. Thankfully we ran out of time and had to head home. We were all exhausted after our three days of hauling boxes.  Rachel is in the photo above showing off the entry-way and in the photo below we packing up the car getting ready to head out of town. It was fun to go up and spend time with Cynth, Sonja, my Mom and my fun nieces and nephews. They rock!

 This weekend we headed to Wheeler Farm for hay-rides, mazes and cousin time. I kidnapped Deborah's kids and we had a fun time playing at the farm. The kids were all really nice to each other. Chandler bought candy for all the kids from the country store and they had a good time racing through the maze to see who could beat their last time. They got pretty fast. Everyone picked out a pumpkin at the end. They have put in a really cool park across the parking lot from Wheeler Farm which was a nice addition to our outing. It has a super high slide that even the bigger kids had fun on.
