Fall, Family, and Fun

I always have to count how many plates to set as family keeps coming and going. Shortly after Sherry came and Heidi left for school and Sherry returned to Provo to prepare for Brazil; Peter, Cilla and family join in the fun. Grand kids in the hot tub, food, friends, and pool (on my new pool table) were all a part of Cilla's birthday celebration. Then we become grandparents of Number twelve, beautiful Zora! Then we get a phone call of number 13 to join Peter and Cilla's family in May! Then Mark comes home from California with his new weight set. After a wonderful week with David and Melissa and family, we said good bye this morning as they returned to Ohio. In two days John comes from Missouri and joins us on Halloween, and then on to Utah for Dad, then Thanksgiving here, then I granny-nanny in California with Lucy, and then at LD and Michelle's. ...And then wahoo, schools out and most everyone returns with Christmas at the beach and then we will party in the new year!

Ammon, age 3, full of fun


Caleb, age 7, a scientist at heart

A few things that Caleb, Hyrum, Ammon and Ruth did:
Walked onto bridge at Grants Pass Park, visited a Candy Factory, Played Apples to Apples, 100 piece puzzles and other games, listened to stories and watched video of Pippi Long Stocking, ate out at Elmers with Grandma, carved pumpkins, Trunk-or-Treated, splashed in hot tub with grandpa, played hide and seek with Lucy and rode on Merry-go-round with Meranda, Derek and Spencer.
