Sweater Weather

Zeke has a best little pal, Israel who lives in Springville but goes to Lakeview Elementary because of the Portuguese immersion program. (His mom is Portuguese) They clearly have such a good time together, it is fun to listen to their constant chatter and giggles. His mom loves the friendship so much and we love when we're able to get them together. (which is surprisingly often)



Did you want to see more house photos? Ok, good!


I sent this to show Jen how I assembled the shelves. Pretty easy peasy.

Paisley off to catch her bus on a tennis day. I mean, since when does 7th grade look like college?

Adren got asked on his very first date. He's not quite 16, but sure will be by the time the Provo High Halloween dance comes! He was asked by friend Sammy Hodges, a gal he's known since little in our ward and I'm dear friends with her mom, Diana. This is a big milestone! Adren on a real date!

We met up with Ashley and Abby and kids at Cornbellies. I've never been, and you know what? It is pretty darn cute! I'd totally go again. I was not expecting the arctic winds blowing all night though! I haven't been that cold or that unprepared in a long time! I had to grab a hoodie I'd just bought for Adren's birthday out of the van to make it through the night! But it was fun to hang with Abby and Ashley and Cade. We played human fooseball, munched on treats and hot coco, and walked around to all the sites. Zeke especially had a great time. I don't take him to many of these things anymore- he sort of missed that boat a little, being the youngest. I suppose that is why I was all for letting him shoot corn and apples, and really anything else he desired.

I was able to grab some Studio C tickets for a little tour the group is doing. Since Paisley especially has watched every episode at least 5 times we had to go! I knew Zeke would love it as well.
It was at a High School in SLC, we had great seats and was pretty darn fun!

The Exciting and Miscellaneous

 Zeke got his learners!!! This was easy-peasy, first try. He is an excellent driver, though he says he does not feel super confident. Maybe it is because it is kid number four, but I have all the confidence in him. What a guy! We had a fun family gathering at Cash's house. Fun because ALL of the Boc's were there. They haven't all been together for years- like since before Grayson's mission. They all gathered for Matt and Abby's 30th anniversary! Sooo sweet. Look at this bunch! I love this average summer day in the Geertsen household. I am working in my bathroom. I will share my game plan directly... Jonny... P-Day phone calls with Adren are the best. He just gets whomever is around, sometimes it's just the Parentals. I took this screenshot of Cade, Ashley and Jon all on Mount Timp! Many in the family joined that day. This is the second summit on that mountain in a month for Jonny! Just a pretty screenshot from the doorbell cam.   Paisley has been asked to Prom b...

May Celebrations and Love!

Our little Paisley and all of her little friends are graduating from High School and all of us mothers cannot believe it! My dear friend and current Young Women's President, Elin, set up a beautiful evening for the girls and mothers to celebrate each one of them. It was lovely and touching and very special. These girls are the best! Despite the scaffolding that has been a staple for way too many weeks I care to count, I always appreciate our coming-to-life spring yard. Everything is filling in nicely. It is amazing how big our trees and bushes have become in hardly no time! But that scaffolding! You can't really tell, but it is quite the maze to get in the front door. The porch area may need to be removed just so that people can enter safely on the Homecoming Day.  My friend Kelly reminded our CRU when we replaced our faces onto her family portrait when she arrived home from living abroad for a time. We so funny! More windows being installed. Hooray! I snapped these as I headed...

Happy Anniversary to Jon & Lindsey!

Happy 25 Years to us! We spent the weekend at Snowbird at the lovely resort. It was all so pretty! Our room had such gorgeous views of the mountainside. I texted this pic to Adren of Pfeifferhorn, a mountain he summited with his dad once. I looked at that, marveling that my boy has been there! We took the tram up to the top of the mountain to enjoy panoramic views all around. One of the days it was nice to say, "The only thing on our schedule is a tram ride and dinner reservations". After so much hussle, it was nice to not have a whole lot to do. Chillin' with Jonny was really nice and good for us. It was a good reminder that we really enjoy each other. I mean, we knew that, but it is nice to spend a weekend together when you don't have a million other things going on. When we got back, I dived right back into our big event at work, our annual Give Hope Gala. This one was fun because Jon got to attend with me. It was a fun evening with him and my work friends. Off we ...
