Sand Hollow

For the past few years, a group of friends have been heading to Sand Hollow over Conference weekend. It is a blast. We listen to conference in the campground soaking in some last of the season rays, and then we hit the lake. This year was a blast. The first night rained CATS and DOGS, and maybe even a few mountain lions. Holy cow! I didn't know it could rain so hard. Grateful for a nice warm trailer, and not a leaky tent!

(After all of the rain, the boys had to play in the mud puddle..yum)

We did a little hiking. We got in some great skiing and wake boarding. Literally, on Monday, we were the only boats (3 boats) on the lake playing (there were 2 or 3 fishermen, but they don't count because they don't chop up the water). If you have never skied on pure glass you haven't lived! AWESOME. I am just a novice skier but it was awesome!

(Look at that glass!)

The kids always are so great and they all get a long so well! Fun times and fun memories! Thanks everybody...we had a great time...and we'll do it again in 6 months!

Picture Tag

I was tagged by my friend with this random tag game. You have to post the 6th picture in the

6th file in your picture file. This was this spring at S's Kindergarten program. They were singing the "Colors of the Rainbow" song, which they learned the sign language for. He, along with everyone else looks a little possessed. Thanks Janelle! I tag Jessica, Nat, Randy, Heidi, Tiffany, and Amy.

Jessica!

My little sister who lives in Missouri has been begging me for a post showing her K! She hates being away from home, and we miss having her and her family here. They get to come home for Christmas for a month and we can't wait. So Jess, these are for you. Sorry it's been awhile!

Grandpa & Grandma's Pumpkin Patch

Every year, Richard's Dad and Step-Mom grow an awesome garden which includes a great pumpkin patch. We get to go and pick out pumpkins! It's a Halloween favorite. For the last week, every time we drive past a pumpkin patch Sam begs me to stop. I have reminded him every time that we are going to get our pumpkins from Grandpa. So today went and did it. The wind had blown a bunch of leaves off the trees, so they decided to rake them up for Grandpa and Grandma. After playing in the pile, I'm not sure it helped too much, but they had a great time! We're loving the mild fall this year!
