Fall colors


Yesterday we went up the canyon to see the fall colors. It was so beautiful. We got some fun family pictures, and had a blast walking around in the leaves. Ryan's family came up also, and then we went back to Ryan's mom's house for a weenie roast, and cake and ice cream to celebrate his step mom's birthday. It was a fun Sunday. Fall is my favorite season. I wish it could last a little bit longer!




On Saturday we went over to the Harley Dealership for a "motorcycle rodeo" The kids loved seeing the motorcycles compete (especially their uncle Taylor, and Grandpa rick). They did a burn out contest and the whole parking lot filled with black smoke. It left a black residue on the big rocks that the kids were climbing on so they became very FILTHY DIRTY! Danny fell asleep on the way home rubbed his eyes. When I brought him in and laid him on his bed, he looked like he had been beaten up. His eyes were all black. They loved every minute of it. When I got home I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ryan had taken a big load of junk to the dump that I had wanted gone for quite some time. He also got rid of a couple couches that we didn't need anymore. I was so happy! He is a great guy!!!!

Love the family pictures! Good looking family as always! ;) Ones in the fall are so fun. We seem to do that every year, so we tried some in the summer this year... not quite as pretty in my opinion, but they turned out all right.

So did Ryan make it to Manti for the all-day golf?

Awww the WHOLE clan decides to actually leave the house and go up the canyon when I'm not there. I had a great time on my trip, but I LOVE going up the canyon. To think I was stuffed into a tiny green seat on an airplane while you were all playing up there makes me slightly jealous! ;) I love your pictures.

We got it at the co-op but they ahve it at random grocery stores in the section with dried fruit. I'm considering moving to Utah with Marae if I find a job or I might take a few classes taht I didn't get a chance to take before I graduated.

Thanks for the office offer. That would be quite the upgrade from our storage suite we are currently calling home. We don't know when we would come. Dave wants us here for work through this month. We are planning on going to Micheline's for Thankgsgiving & hopefully checking out apartments on our way through. We would probably move in Jan. We will have to be sure to have a party sometime with coconut fruit popsicles & shell.

I LOVE the pic with fall colors. Every year I think to myself, "This will be the year we get our family picture with fall colors." Hasn't happened yet. But there's always next year, huh? :)

(I know we're not too late this year, but we got lazy and took pics in front of the red fence at our house.)
