So it has been a long time since our last blog, so we will try to get everything into this blog that has happened throughout the last month and a half. At the beginning of August, Matt's sister was in town and we went to Tiny Town, The North Pole, and Water World. It was definitely a fun trip and always great to see Lori. Those pictures will have to get added later because we don't have them on this computer.
As August progressed we came to Thomas' birthday which was very fun as well. We had a birthday dinner for Tom and had an ice cream sandwich cake. I can't believe how old these kids are getting... Thomas is a High Schooler now, Just Crazy.
At the beginning of September, Matt went on another ride along, this time with Aurora Police and it was the first ride along that he actually got to see an arrest take place and take someone to jail. It was pretty fun, just makes me want to be a police officer all the more.
Labor Day weekend we went to Lake McConaughy with Dan, Courtney, Tommy, Kimmy, and Lizzy. We met everyone else up there Saturday afternoon because we had to get the food for the weekend. I was very happy to have my CR-V so I could drive right up to the tents and drop stuff off, unlike Dan who got the van stuck in the sand and had to walk from the parking lot to the tents. Pretty funny stuff, not going to lie. Here is a picture of us by the campfire.
The next amount of fun was Mom Lukens Birthday. Us and Dan and Courtney went over while she was in church and cleaned the house and cooked dinner for her. It was a really great time and she was very shocked when they got home. Now, if we can just find a way for the kids to get along at least on people's birthday's that will be good. Here is a family picture taken by the missionaries.
Stay tuned for future blogs of Matt's Birthday, coming up on Wednesday. Also THE BIG SECRET will be announced very soon and we will blog about the reactions we get once we tell everyone. Matt has to have surgery to have his tonsils removed, and those will be some pictures you won't want to miss. That's all for now.
