Well, fall is finally here. It is cooling off at night, at least a little bit, and the fall and Halloween decorations are coming out everywhere. This is such a wonderful time of year as the seasons change and we get ready for the holidays. What a great time to reflect on all of the blessings we have. Right now for me, work is ridiculously busy, but I am so grateful to have a job. Primary keeps me busy too. We are getting ready for our Sacrament Meeting Program, and that means the next couple of weeks will be really busy.Jeff is on our Stake Pioneer Trek this weekend. Hopefully someone will get some good pictures, so I can post them. Other than that, not much is happening. Weston just had a transfer in his mission. He loves his new companion and they are both working hard. Caiti and Nate are doing wonderful in California. We sure miss them. Megan and Brock are getting ready to move to Texas for school. Megan is already counting down how many weeks she has to pack and get everything done! Britt is either at school or doing homework it seems. She does manage to take time to hang out with her friends. A few nights ago several of Britt's friends stopped by for a visit. I can't believe how much I miss seeing those kids every day. To keep up on the dogs, check out my other blog: mamasmutts.blogspot.com. It is still a work in progress, but at least you can find out how Diesel and Ellie are doing - oh and don't forget to see about the cat!!!

This summer's adventures:

Our next adventure was the wedding of Barry and Nancy - Jeff's Dad and his new wife. We will always love and miss JoAnn - but we are so grateful for Nancy and the wonderful addition she is to our family. Stay tuned - pictures coming soon.

Our next adventure this summer was gearing up for Caiti and Nate's wedding. That was lots of fun. They are married, and on their way to live and go to school in California. Two down, three to go. Stay tuned - pictures coming soon.

We have two grandchildren (thanks Megan and Brock) and we are having lots of fun with them. They are the most adorable grandchildren on the planet - sorry to all of you who have grandchildren - but, it's a fact! We have to have all the fun we can have before they take off to go to Chiropractic school. Stay tuned - pictures coming.

Then, Britt and I and a couple of friends went to Disneyland for her graduation trip. We had a blast! We almost had to drive through some crazy weather - saw some tornadoes form but they didn't hit the ground, lots of lightening and lots of rain until we got to California. But, how can you not have fun at Disneyland? Next, Brittany gets ready to embark on a new journey . . . college!

Well, the summer started out with Brittany graduating from High School. What an event that was. It was the first time in almost 20 years that the Graduation ceremony had to be moved inside due to weather! They had to split up the kids in the Gym and the Auditorium. Fortunately, we were in the Gym, so we were closer to Britt and her friends than the parents who were in the auditorium.

This is so cool...

I have my own blog!!!! Teenage kids are amazing, the things they know how to do... thanks Brittany for helping me set this up! Stay tuned for more to come about the rest of the mob!
