Fall

Last Monday night we took a drive on the Alpine Loop for FHE. It was so beautiful and busy. I think everyone had the same idea we did. We got some great pictures of the kids and family. It is amazing how beautiful the leaves can look. I will never forget the colors that I saw that evening. I can't post all the pictures because they are going to be used for Christmas cards and I need to keep them as a surprise.

Splash

A fun day of swimming at the Kearns Rec Center. Alexis loved to float around in her Dora float thing. She thought that was the best thing ever. She did not want to get out of the water. Bryan was brave and jumped off the high dive. It looked so cool. The Kearns Rec Center was very cool. They had tons of stuff for kids to play with. Alexis can't wait to go swimming again. She cried the whole way out to the car when we left.

Bingham Canyon Mine

We went to the Kennecott Utah Copper's Bingham Canyon Mine for FHE. Alexis loved to watch the big trucks carry the dirt. I had never been up there before. It was amazing how big the mine was. Even when you are standing right in front of it, you still can't believe how big it is. Thank you Bryan for planning a great FHE, you are a great dad. We stopped off at Arctic Circle to get ice cream and Alexis was very proud of her mini ice cream cone. How cute is that?

Alexis First Day of School

Alexis started school on Tuesday the 23. She had a great time. She learned about space and the planets. She loves to play outside. When I picked her up from school she said that a boy chased her at school. I can't believe the chasing had already started. She is learning so many things and I am so proud of her. She is not afraid and runs right into school when I drop her off. This week they are learning about America and will be having a parade. She is going to have a blast.

Father's Day

What a nice Father's Day. We got together with family and had a very nice dinner. Sawyer was passed around all night. He loves to be held and mommy also liked the break. We had a great time visiting with family and Alexis had fun playing with new toys.

Busy Weekend

Bryan's cousin Kim got married over the weekend. We had a lot of fun on Saturday. It was nice to spend time with family and friends. We spent the morning at the Bountiful Temple and then we went to eat at the Red Iguana. It was the best Mexican food I had ever had. We can't wait to eat there again. We had fun dancing at the reception and watching Sawyer make funny faces. What a cute boy. Alexis wanted to dance with everyone. She is a dancing girl.

Our Pond

For those that don't know, Bryan and I have a pond in our backyard. We have many different types of plants and fish that live in the pond. This is a picture of a water hyacinth. They float on the water and get beautiful little purple blooms. Bryan and I love to spend time in our yard and love to add new things to our pond. This year we got new fish. We bought some Golden Orfes and Shubunkin Goldfish. We love to watch the fish grow. They are so beautiful to watch.
