This happened in August, My SOS team won 1st place! We had to Run 1.5 miles, swim 500 meters, and as many push-ups sit-ups and pull-ups that we could in 2 minutes.
later that night we went out to celebrate. this was Viktoriia's 1st time eating at a restaurant in Houston. she was shocked by the portion size.
I also won 3rd place for my age division in the individual competition.
the next weekend we went to Surf side beach for Vikka's student orientation.
we had fun trying to learn to skim board.
It rained a lot during our trip but we still had a chance to play on the breach.
our computer broke and so We had to take it to the Sony Store to get it fixed. Which meant going to the Galleria. We finally found the red shoes that Vikka wanted.
and rocky got to see his favorite fountain.
here is a cute picture of Rocklond This was at my preschool when we did a photo prop booth.
I started teaching preschool at the beginning of September and am now headed into my 6th week. I teach 2x a week for 2 1/2 hours
Vikka made us Vareniki for us. I loved it, the kids not so much.
We went to a High school football game.
It was everyones first Texas football game.
We ran into one of rocky's good friends at the game. In a few years maybe these two may be playing in the game.
Rocky was experimenting with a new way to wear shoes.
Then we got the call that Valeire was going to have her baby. We drove the 3 hrs but it was a false alarm.
We stayed around for the next few days but decided to go home and wait it out.
that night I was stung by a scorpion and then I KNEW it was time to go home and wait it out.
this was really good because then I got to be home for Rocky's Primary Program. hH was SO SO SO Cute. JOhn and I were Both beaming with pride as he read his little line clearly into the microphone. he didn't studder once! He sang really well I don't think he ever broke eye contact with the chorister. Although we were trying to get his attention.
Viktoriia got asked to homecoming. I had to explain our strange customs for asking people to dances.
we got the REAL call to come up and help with Valeries new baby. You can read more about that here
We got to go back up and help take care of the kids while Val was in the hospital.
Don't they grow up fast
we came back home and it was time for Homecoming weekend at the Highschool. Viktoriia went the game and John and I went and volunteered at the peanut butter factory here.
The next morning we went to Surfside beach again and volunteered at a beach cleanup.
Well Viktoriia Volunteered. We just played.
that night Viktoriia went to homecomeing with a boy from our ward.
then this last weekend we FINALLY painted out living room. John says I pulled a Tom Sawyer on everyone because I painted only two small 2ft walls and I somehow roped Him, Viktoriia, and the sister missionaries into painting the rest of the room for me.
I really did appreciate the help and we got it all done in time for my sister, val, to come to my house so I can help her out while her husband is at a week long training.
Well that is my September Summary. I now have some very important
moustache making to get to .
