Fall Leaves

It's Autumn Time, It's Autumn Time. The leaves are falling down.......
Not quite as pretty as Shara's leaves but we do have lots of them!

Happy 25th Shara

Look what they found in the leaves!!!!

Shara and her cute little family in the leaves!

Happy Birthday Shara! It's hard to believe it's been 25 years! I was carving my 1st pumpkin (yes, I was deprived as a child!!!) when I went into labor with her. We are so very excited to have them move closer to us (still not close enough). They will be moving to Mesa in November. They have really loved living in the Boston area and have done a lot of fun things. They will miss New England and the people they've met. We're glad we were able to visit a few times while they were there.

You're such a wonderful daughter and cute little mommy to Abby. We love you lots and hope you have a very Happy Birthday.

Midway Weekend

Nancy planned a fun "sisters weekend getaway" last weekend. We went to Midway and stayed at her timeshare condo. Ellen and Nancy went up on Thursday and Anne, Grace and I went up Friday afternoon. We met them in Park City at the Outlet shops then went to unload the car at the condo. We found a place to eat in Heber (we figured the one with all the cars must be good!) Went back to our room, got in our jammies, and watched "Must Love Dogs".

Saturday morning was cold and snowy! We went back into Park City, moseyed around a little mall and ate lunch. Ellen and I had to head home (we had to be back for church duties) so we left before the snow got worse. The others stayed until Sunday. Thanks Nancy - it was a lot of fun visiting and eating and spending girl time together. I didn't take many pictures. Nancy took one of the snow on Sunday - I'm definitely not ready for winter to hit yet!

TRIP TO AZ

I was able to go see my parents and some of my family the first part of October. My mom and dad are getting older and I needed to go see them. Katie was already down there and then went to Mexico with her in-laws for a "Girls Getaway". She left Lucas at my mom's so I helped watch him! We went up to Heber to Max and Jeanie's "cabin" (it's a very nice home) for conference weekend. It was very cool weather up there and we had a great time. Nyla was able to drive over and be there with us. It's always so nice to see my family. I had a great time being with them.

Playing with all the animals. He loved, loved, LOVED playing with them - thanks Grama Jeanie!

Jeanie, Nyla, Mom and Me. (The power went out so Jeanie had wet hair!)

Indian petroglyphs. (We climbed up this little trail to see these - we even took Lucas up there - crazy us!)

Looking for my favorite rock (on our way to see the llamas.)

Nyla, Jeanie and Lynsee hunting for rocks - (a little bit of our Grandma coming out in them!)

They actually found a piece of petrified wood that was very pretty.

Not a very big playpen!
