Izzy and Scout's Birthday Party

We drove up to Camas Utah for Izzy and Scout's Birthday Party. It was Saturday afternoon and was beautiful weather. We picked Brooke up at the mouth of the canyon. We went to the Rec Center and enjoyed swimming and diving. Izzy jumped several times off the low board and then got brave and jumped off the high dive. It is about a 25 foot drop. Everyone had fun in the water. The baby twins even enjoyed the water with their mom and dad. Debbie and I watched and cuddled kids and enjoyed the party. We had pizza, pop, creamies, and cake. Izzy and Scout opened their gifts and returned to the water. It was a nice event and good to be with everyone. Scout Amy and the Twins

Pumpkin Patch with the Family

We had our annual day at the Pumpkin Patch. We all met at the Red Barn in Santaquin and waited for all to arrive. Mike was riding his motorcycle down and Ali brought the truck. Nate was deer hunting, so missed the outing this year. We had a hay ride out to the patch and then scattered in all directions looking for just the right pumpkin. When we finished, we all met back at Grandma and Grandpa's house for hot soup and goodies. It was a fun afternoon, but everyone was worn out at the end of the day. We all mentioned how much we missed not having Angie and Mike and their kids with us, but we love you all and know you are with us in thoughts and spirit......................Brooke and AddiScout, Grandpa, and Izzy

Time with the Grandkids

We spent a fun few days with the grandkids. Izzy, Scout and Grey stayed overnight. We had a bubble tubby, played at the playground, and watched movies. Later Kevin and Karri brought Abby down to stay over night. Amy brought the kids up and we spent some time together. A lot of cute kids......Scout on the playground Abby at Grandma's House

We got together with some of my old missionary companions the first week of October. There were only 10 of us in our mission. We were called as an experiment to work with the Cuban Refugees coming into Miami Florida. Because we were so few, we became very close. A few of us have stayed in contact over the years. It was good to see them again. I made a CD of photos and we watched them and visited about good memories. A general authority once told us we were especially called and individually selected to open the work with the Spanish People in that area of the world.
