Labor Day Weekend

This was quite the busy weekend for Jake and I. But we still were able to find time to have fun. My parents went to Michigan for the weekend to go to the Utah game. Which of course I have to mention the won by two points what a great game and I am so jealous they didnt bring us along with them this time. Since they were gone Jake and I played the parent role all weekend for my sisters. It was a blast we had a great time. On Friday my little sister Paige performed at the football game with the Drill team which she thought was the coolest thing ever, and of course my other sister Kylie had to join, she just got to the Junior High age when its way cool to go to the High School games and see all the cute boys! She had a crazy little story that happened to her that night. Its kinda long but i have to tell it. She was with her friends taking pictures and she accidently put her camera on the ground. She was sitting down for a while and then got up and left. About two hours later she realized she never picked her camera up. She went over there and of course it was gone. She comes up to me after the game just bawling and so upset. Kylie decided we needed to say a prayer and ask to have help to find her camera. We all decided to split up and look all over until we found it. But the camera was nowhere to be found. Jake was on his own and asked some random kid not anywhere near where kylie was when she left it. And he said he saw someone pick it up. All he knew was that his name was Devin and he worked at Taco Maker. We left the game and drove to taco maker and got the kids phone number. Jake called him up and got him to confess to stealing Ky's camera and met up with us and gave it back. It was crazy. Jake said once he met the guy he was shocked how honest he was about it, it was such a miracle and definately made Kylies day! I am still shocked that we just so happened to find the guy who took the camera and then he answered and brought it to us. She is one lucky girl!!

On Saturday we drove to Draper to see my Aunt and Uncle and their kids. They needed help putting in their yard and Jake is the perfect guy for the job. He has all the equipment from work to get it done quickly but it still took us about 5 hours to get all the dirt and rocks where they needed to go. I had a blast, They have a 3 year old little boy that became my best friend at lake powell and we just played the whole time. I had no idea a little kid could love me so much he is darling. Here are some pictures of him.

After we left draper we went four wheeling in Morgan at Grandpa Russells property. It was a blast, it was the first time Paige has ever been and she was having the time of her life.

The rest of our weekend was way chill and just whatever it was good to have an extra day to get house work done and grocery shopping before Jakes old companion came and stayed with us last night. All is well with the Shaws!!
