A quick catch-up

We always have fun at our Family Home Evenings, and love to see many of you there each month. Dad did the lesson on Temples, and we took this picture to remind us about the importance of our family. We missed those of you who were not there for this picture!!! Come next time please. :)


I feel bad that this picture is sideways, but I can't turn it now.......so just tilt your head. We went to Lubbock TX. to see the Ure Family and to join in their lives there. This is Dad eating lunch with Tayson's Kindergarten class. We all did, but I had control of the camera. It was a fun thing for us all......the kids loved Tayson's grandpa.



We also went to the church Halloween "Trunk or Treat" party. It was in the parking lot of their Stake Center which happens to be right next to the Temple. It seemed a bit weird to be dressed up in Halloween costumes withe the Temple for our background. But we got over it pretty quick.......Who is that cute Cat and Dog???


No surprise that the Ures were all dressed for fun. Mia just would not wear her princess crown. The kids loved the party, and received lots of treats!



It is fun to have a Moss connection there in Lubbock. Tod and Jen Moss invited us over for a "Harvest Dinner". She had prepared about 8 different vegetables and a chicken as well. It was my dream dinner......love those veggies. They are a great family and we had such a good time and visit.



We made a few hikes this fall. Love this time of year!!!! The mountains were sooooo beautiful and the smells and sounds just add to this great experience. Love it!!!



We went up to Silver Lake and walked around the boardwalk there with Josh and his kids. Deena and baby Hannah were home for a little peace and quiet.



Samantha was baptized and Hannah was blessed on the same day..November 6th.
We are so pleased that we could be there to share that with them.



We are also pleased that Ginny was baptized on November 7th. What a neat experience it was for Von and I to participate in having the Missionaries in our home to teach her and to answer her many questions and to feel of her spirit. We are blessed to have her in our home.


After Ginny's baptism we invited all there to come and join us for some food. Ginny spent many hours cooking Chinese food for her guests. They loved it. She had many friends there to support her. It was a great evening. Thanks to our family for their help.
