DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
Thanksgiving this year was fun, as always. My dad ended up having to work on Thanksgiving day so we missed them, but we were glad we got to see my parents the Sunday before. We spent the first part of the day at home and then had Thanksgiving dinner with Darwin's family and made an appearance at my cousins house for our second dessert later that night. Good times all around!
Thanksgiving morning I went with my friend, April, to a Thanksgiving day workout instructed by a friend in our ward who makes a living helping people get fit. I wished I had worked up to that workout that morning because I could hardly move for the next few days. Darwin teased be because I groaned every time I stood up or sat down. It was killer, but it felt so good at the same time! It was definitely worth it. Haha! Thanks again for inviting me, April!
After I got home from my workout, Darwin went to run a 5k put on by some of our friends. He loved it, and got a trophy for coming in 1st (he said he only came in first because the young whipper snapper who would have won took a wrong turn). He had a good time and we were both glad to get a good workout in before our yummy meal later on.
The weather was beautiful! When we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house, Grandpa was working on raking up leaves. It ended up being a party in the leaves rather than clean-up, but it was worth it for the cute pictures we got. Please excuse my redundancy of leaf photos, but I'm a biased parent with cute kids so I can't resist!
She still has the most kissable cheeks ever! I love it!
There was some work going on...it wasn't all play ;)
Uncle Ryan got in on the fun and made the leaves rain on the girls over and over again. The loved it!
Grandma got a canoe from BYU as her retirement gift so Daddy and Uncle Ryan helped put it in a safe place for the winter.
