Fall fun~

We have had too much fun this past week. Grandma and Grandpa from Arizona came to visit for a week. They are so much fun to have here, the kids are in heaven. They are such great grandparents they love to play games, tickle, go fun places, get their hair done, and much more. We started the weekend by hiking up to Timpanogus Cave. Jesse thought it would be so fun. I had never been so I was excited to go too. Little note about the hike it's a tough one. The kids did amazing, so did Grandma and Grandpa. They did better than we did. But it is worth the hike the cave is really cool. The Park Ranger said right before we went into the cave, now nobody is scared right? Dylan's face was hilarious, his eyes went really big and sudden panic came across his face. We assured him that it wasn't scary and he would love it. The cave was really cool and I kept telling the kids that we were inside of the mountain and it was a hard concept for them to grasp. Then on Sunday we took a drive on the Nebo loop, so pretty. I love this time of year. Sophie got to have Grandma and Grandpa go on a field trip with her to the apple factory. She loved having them with her. The fun just kept going with the movie, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Cute movie, it reminded me of Dylan with all of his engineering projects that he does. Then a super yummy lunch at five guys. We were full the rest of the day. Yum! Next Dad took Friday off to come and play with us, I think he was feeling left out. On to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving point. Super fun for the kids. They had a great time! They LOVED jumping on the giant pillows, the scary hay ride, the huge pits of corn, and the corn maze. We sure enjoyed our visitors and just being with our cute kids! Happy Fall!






Ohh, one more thing, my father-in-law let me drive his new corvette.....my cheeks hurt after I drove it....I was smiling the entire time...100mph on the freeway....ohh ya!!

Holy Cow~

1)I can't believe that it has been 3 weeks since my last post. I guess we have been busy. JW and I are project do'ers. We like to make lists and get stuff done. We usually spend the whole weekend doing it but it does get done. We work really well together, I always say that we are a great tag team, when he starts to get frustrated that's is my cue to step in and take over. But after the entire summer with the basement and the fall and summer the year before that on the yard I'm tired of projects....We checked off a big one this weekend though...The Garage!!! It is spotless, now I won't be embarrassed when the garage door opens and I hurry and drive in and close it...In fact today I left it open for all the world to see.

2)I love this time of year. I could really live in this weather all year long. I love summer and the pool but there is nothing better than crisp fall air. I even made apple crisp last night for dessert. (my favorite!) We went to Payson Lakes last Sunday. It was so beautiful and the colors were amazing. We packed a picnic and walked around the lake. The kids loved it. Sophie chased squirrels and Dylan was finding the biggest rocks to throw in the water. I of course made sure everyone had a jacket but I managed to forget one for me. It was a little chilly! While we were eating we heard a gun shot about every ten minutes or so, the deer hunt is upon us and the whole time I was hoping that the hunter had missed.

3) This last thought is about conference. I love to watch it. I haven't always been that way. I remember times when I was not going to church and I would know that it was conference weekend I would try everything not to see it on TV. I think that I knew that I should be watching it. Well people change and the gospel can do that for people, it has done it for me. I love this gospel and I remember the days when I didn't have it. When I didn't have the spirit with me. My life was lost. I was lost. I have purpose now. I have a divine purpose. I have an eternal companion, not just until I die. I love him more than just till I die, I love him to eternity! (and back) My kids are with us forever, and I will do all that is in my power to keep them close to the Lord. It is my job, and I love it!
