Little Spooks!


Amara, love the pink boots. My favorite shoes of hers.
And she would have picked this outfit out on her own. Doesn't matter if 
it matches or not!

Llayton & Caiden

Cohen & Ella


This picture just makes me laugh.
Amara crying with Cohen & Ella just looking at her thinking....'again, what now!'
And Caiden's face is so funny!


Trick or Treating in Hillsboro, the best!

And in Utah...here is Bennett and Megan.
Isn't Megan's shirt cute? Her sister Kelsey  painted it for her.

The final step

October 21, 2011
The 'swearing in' of new Nevada Lawyers.

 This was a bit of a sad day for Kenny because he had heard word that the
job he was planning on in Provo fell through.


My parents and Chad's parents were able to attend.



This is such a fun picture of two good friends, Chad's father, 
Eldon Lee and Lloyd (Duko) George. Many years ago, Eldon was
the Bishop and Lloyd George was his counselor.
Kenny did a summer internship with Judge George.
My father and Duko went to high school together.
And...
Duko's daughter, Michelle, set Chad and I up on a 
blind date at BYU.

How is that for a little bit of connection!

He passed!

             

It is official.

Kenny passed the bar exam
and now officially is a lawyer and can practice is Nevada.

He just need a job at a law office.
(Actually, he is doing research for one of
his BYU professors.)

Applications are going out daily
to Texas, Arizona, Utah, etc.
(nothing with winters that are worse than Utah;
they like the warm weather.)

We are so proud of his accomplishment!

UPDATE:
It looks like he may have a job 
working for a Personal Estate Lawyer
in Provo!
Hooray, that is much closer than Texas!

Conference Weekend in Utah

I just love fall time in Utah. 

We had tickets for General Conference
so it was a perfect time to go up and see our kids.
Now three of them live up there!
Kenny, Brett & Lana.

While we were up there, Chad and I went to see Dr. Hershey
who has helped several of our grandkids with their food allergies.
We found out some of the things we are allergic to or deficient in.
And with the crazy treatment of wearing a vital, of the very thing
you are allergic to for 25 hours, you are cured!
If we had not seen the results helping Caiden, Amara, Ella and Jexton,
we would have never believed it.
We will see how it works for us.
I just want to cure 'being tired!'

It seems like there are so many fun activities to participate in
during the fall season in Utah.

We had a great time at the Farmers Market in Pleasant Grove
with Kenny & his family, and Bree and the boys.
They feed the goats and cows, chased the ducks, rode the train,
slid down the homemade slide,
and went through the corn maze.

(I was just glad we made it out of the corn maze!)




We love general conference.
We went to the Sunday morning session of conference
and Music and the Spoken Word with Kenny & Megan.
We are  hoping to be able to go with all of our children and their spouses 
in the next several years.

That Conference center is a magnificent place. 
It is a marvelous feeling being there.
I feel so blessed to belong to such a wonderful church.
I loved being a Mormon and everything that comes with it!


After conference session on Sunday,
we enjoyed a picnic in the canyon at Vivian Park.
It was glorious weather. The leaves are changing and 
it was just a delight to be up there.

We had birthday cupcakes for Lana and Llayton's October birthdays.



The boys all wore their owl hats, for a photo shoot.
Thank you Bree and Megan for liking these silly hats.
I loved making them.

Caiden...




Llayton...



Bennett...




This picture below just makes me laugh!
Here is why...
Llayton is the more lovey, dovey one, wanting to hug
Bennett or hold his hand.
Bennett, on the other hand, not so much. He is more like Kenny
and doesn't want to be touched.

So, I don't know what happened here.
Bennett is the one wanting to hug Llayton.
And check out Llayton's reaction - a swift elbow to Bennett!
So funny!





And here is Llayton, scolding someone.
Look at that hand on his hip and that finger pointing.
Read his lips...'NO'


Bennett & Llayton loved rolling down the hill....


I do love Utah. Just wish that it wasn't so cold in the
winter or I might just move right up there!
