Back from our Halloween travels the kids did not think we had yet carved enough pumpkins. With 4 more pumpkins sitting on our front porch they started to carve away.
Star Wars theme in anticipation!!
The results of sitting too many days in the full sun.
Kent received his mission call to Bulgaria on November 10. Our kids and Mark drove up from Provo, many friends from school, family friends and neighbors, in addition to those on phones--Grandpa Cragun, Grandma and Grandpa Brady, Reynolds, Roths, and Felicia, all joined us for Kent to open his call. It was all so exciting we forgot to take any pictures.
Nathan was selected as a Student of the Month at his Junior High. He and some fellow students were honored with a morning reception and breakfast. We forgot to take pictures with the principal but got this picture after his breakfast. Way to go, Nate!!
Then Dan and I took Elle for a drive up to Ophir (old mining town--super cute), then a long run in the flats of Rush Valley. Of course, Elle loved it.
We dropped some things off to Erik in Provo, then returned for Nate's band concert--all in the same day!
Our little girl keeps growing but not more than Kent can handle.
Beautiful sun shiny weather necessitated putting up Christmas lights. I'm trying to convince the kids that we don't have to turn them on until after Thanksgiving but they won't have it. This might be our last year with lights if Kent isn't around to put them up.
Ryan's inside garden. We cleaned out the outdoor garden boxes so what could go inside was relocated. There is constantly something new added to the mix. We might just have to build a greenhouse out doors.
We had a nice snow storm on Monday--at least in Tooele. The bench is in an atrium at the hospital where I work. Nate just lost his shoe in the snow pile at Walmart. But 4 miles down the road in Stansbury--nothing. We got nothing. But the mountains are sure gorgeous!
Now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving--excited to have all the kids home for a few days!!
