Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went to Grandpa Hans' and Grandma Rhonda's house in Lehi. Jen and Ben came from California. Jeffrey and Lyndsey were also there. We played games and enjoyed great food and company. We all loved playing Telestrations. All of the children are at an age and behavior phase that allows us to not worry about them so much. So the kids went off and played while everyone else mingled. Its so fun seeing my beautiful children grow up.

Jacob is so animated and energetic that it is SO hard to get a good picture of everyone. Our outtakes are always so funny. 

We tried to complete a "thankful tree" by adding things we were thankful for everyday.

Halloween

October

Lucy and I went to my childhood friend's wedding. Alicia and I were best friends in California and eventually her family moved to Sandy, Utah. I visited a few times and her mom Jan helped at our wedding. I have always admired their generosity. I was able to sit with Donna Adams and her family. It was nostalgic to be with familiar faces that shaped me into the woman I am today. I will always be grateful for their love and kindness to me. It was their first time meeting Lucy.

My mom came out for Lucy's Primary Program at church. And a few others from the month.

September: Family Swim Lessons and Sunday Afternoon Hike

I haven't blogged in awhile because I've been catching up on my Blurb Books. I publish my blog into hard cover books each year and I finally finished formatting 2015's. So now I can catch up on my blog posts. I've failed to take many pictures. We went to the Honey Festival, the Drive-in, the Utah Symphony, and hockey games.  We've had Ben's sister Julie visit, we've had Ben's sister Jen visit, we've had my sister Jen visit and I didn't take any pictures! In September we did swim lessons for all of the kids. The one Sunday afternoon we drove up a canyon and walked a little. Sadly, the only pictures we have for September.
