September 2021

 

September Recap ...

  • School Stuff ... school is back in full swing. Colton was a little worried about going back full time (after the flexibility and easy hours of his last year where he was half-online) but he's done fine. In fact, he goes early and stays late. Very involved in activities, and he got asked to Sadies already (it's not until November!) Cooper is moving forward with his online classes, and his work at the elementary school each day.
  • Mr. Monarch ... we were lucky enough to catch our caterpillar move into the chrysalis stage (it was SO cool) but missed when it emerged. But it seemed healthy and happy and we released it into the wild and wished it luck on its way. 
  • Basketball ...Colton has had some games with his Wolves team, and practices before and after school with the West Jordan team. Callahan finished up his men's league, they ended down by one point in the championship game, but still got t-shirts ;) 
  • Marrieds ... Cal and K8 were off to sunny Arizona with her family. Sol threw Landon a little surprise party for his birthday (which isn't much of a surprise with Ring notifications, oops!). Keaton took Landon skydiving to keep him busy while Sol set things up. 
  • Skydiving ... Keaton has continued his jumping, going several times over the weekends. 
  • Travel ... In addition to Cal&K8's Arizona trip, Grayson and Keaton had a little getaway to San Francisco.  Keaton and Cal went to Moab for a work retreat. Grayson and a work buddy hit Oktoberfest.
  • Looking at Leaves ... Grayson LOVES the changing leaves, and had several canyon drives to take them in. Gray and Jen went up Butterfield Canyon ... the cliff and narrow roads had Jen a little on edge, literally!
Jen continues on with Zumba, and she and Cooper are still playing pickleball and ping pong too. Jen and Sol were able to attend the baby shower for little Evan. Cooper got over his cold (although the stuffy nose is seeming to persist) but Jen came down with it too and had a couple yucky days. And FOOTBALL has started up, and Cooper loves watching all the highlights/plays with Redzone. He's signed up for his fantasy football league again, but has had less than an auspicious start (he's taken the title the last two years, but we'll have to see if he can do it again). 

That's September with the Blackhams!
