Lights on Temple Square

My ward went up to Salt Lake to look at the lights on temple square for fhe one night. It was beautiful. Here is a picture of the Salt Lake Temple.

Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we went up to Idaho Falls and Kevin and Becky hosted us. It was a great weekend with tons of great food. Everyone else did such a good job documenting it, here are a few random pictures I have.

Classic sleeping Wes

Grandpa, Owen, and Kevin fell asleep during the movie

Tons of delicious pie

Staci made these beautiful flower arrangements for the tables.

I love this picture of Madalyn and Kevin

Of course we couldn't go to Kevin's house without having a nerf gun war.
These two boys showed no mercy.


Visit from Sam in the fall

In the beginning of November, I think, Sam and his family came down to visit us in Pleasant Grove. It was nice to be able to spend the day together without anything to worry about.
Here is Tyler playing on the car blanket Mom made for the boys when they were little. It is amazingly detailed when you take a close look.
Mom thought Tyler looked pretty cute sitting in this chair absorbed by the video.

Visit from Kevin's family in October

In October we had Kevin's family come down to Utah to visit. It was fun to have them down here to celebrate Becky's birthday. On Saturday while Becky hung out with her sisters we got to play with Kevin and the kids...after I got home from taking the ACT, again.

Summer Planting




This summer I planted a few flowers and experimented with planting some pumpkins. It was fun to watch them grow. Things didn't quite turn out how I had imagined, better luck next year.

Colorado In August


I went to Colorado in August to watch Aaron and Sarah's kids while they went on a cruise! It was more work than I ever imagined but tons of fun to see the kids and get to know Eleanor a little bit more. It was fun being able to take Kimball to school and picking him up...dragging Simon and Eleanor along.
