Two Months Since Last Post

This is the longest I've gone without posting.
I'm so sorry, but we have never been busier. I'll take
one picture from each event to catch up.

1. Josh in Color Guard

2. Noelle, Mallory, and Caleb with their sheep at the fair.


3. Zander's first blue ribbon!

4.Val and kids at the fair

5. Issac and Cecily at the fair - notice they did not like the smell.

6. A quick trip to Arizona to be with Paul. They split
their ward and we went down to be with them when
Paul was put in as 1st counselor in their Bishopric.
Let me know if you are no longer using the map and I will
pass it to another who never go one, but may like to use it.

7. Canning peaches with Paul's family.
Yummmm, Brigham City peaches.

8. Seeing the school library that Lacey has decorated.
They sure do a lot to support their schools.

9. Mike and Suzie on the deck while we sing
Happy Birthday - they share their birthday, Sept. 28th

10. A. Ellen came in and we had a get together.
At the cemetery looking at Paul's headstone.

l1. Canning grape juice. Taylor and Max helped us a lot!

12. The next day we did more grapes for us and Chris.
The older kids are picking off grapes while playing
Crack the Case.
Rob, Sarah, Mallory, Noelle, Steven, Marri

13. September 26th we went to Star Valley to see the temple
with Chris's family. Of course we had to stop at
Peppridge Farm on the way up!



14. Too many gatherings. I think this is a Sunday

15. I remember this! It is conference Sunday, and little
Samuel gets his first taste of ice cream.
Yes, He loved it!!!!

16. Caleb's soccer game.

17. Color guard after a football game. Josh is in the back
with the yellow flag.

18. John is in, so we have another party.
This one is at Rob and Emily's. Thank you so much!


19. With Daniel's love of Star War's, can you guess
what little Samuel will be for Halloween?
We had fun making it for him - our little Yoda


20. While John was here, we went to the Church History Museum.
Stacey and Ruth Ellen, who is growing so fast.

21. Stacey and Timmy, Danny holding Ruth E., Maren, Sam,
Kirsten, and John

22. We sang on Sunday night. It was so wonderful.
Yes, they are practicing for my funeral song.

23. Installing the granite counters.

24. Going to Hoggle Zoo with David & Amanda's family
and Val and their kids. The lights were really fun.
Not many animals, but the tiger was amazing to see.
The zoo is so different than when I was growing up.

25. One of the highlights of our mission. They are such a
wonderful family. We have truly grown to love them.

26. Our new kitchen. It was much needed and will last
longer than us.

We are busier than we have ever been in our life.
We are being blessed with such good health and
energy to get everything done. We usually do things
around here until after lunch, and then we head out to do
missionary work. We have met so many wonderful people.
We see the Lord's hand in His work that we have this
special privilege to be a part of. And we see His
great honor of free agency.
Love you all.
