Duck Creek

Jim's family had a reunion at Duck Creek.  It was nice to ALL be together and let cousins get some good bonding time in.

Cousin Time

Lilly (8 years old) with Esmae (almost 8 weeks old)


Ethan with Asher, Liz with Annalisa and Nate with Isaac

Older cousins playing a interesting form of Jenga.  Ethan and Lizzie would stack them up and Morgan and Asher were more than happy to knock them down.

Alisha, Isaac and Afton

Cornbelly's

Last Monday (10/17/16) we went to Cornbelly's as a family. 
It has become a fun little tradition to do in October.




You could go inside this creature. 
There were long dark hallways you follow. 
Creepy!



This picture just makes me smile

Ethan insisted on going through the rat maze like he has done every year.  The sign says not suggested for anyone over 6 feet.  He managed to wiggle his way out. :)


Another successful time out of the corn maze!!

Star Valley

Last weekend we were able to go up to Star Valley for a few days with Jim's parents.  We coordinated it with the Open House of the new Star Valley Temple in Afton, Wyoming.  Extra special for us as Jim's mom was born in Afton, Wyoming and we named our Afton after this gorgeous place.

Cabin Life

There were some horses right by our cabin.  So pretty!




Lucky was in heaven with all the open space to explore and go on unleashed walks

View from our back deck


Afton in Afton, Wyoming

This is me with no to do lists, no taking kids anywhere, and just relaxing.  It was wonderful.

More Giant Bubble Fun
Jim had just asked- "Who wants to do bubbles?"  It was so funny!

In between conference sessions we made sure to enjoy
the beautiful fall weather.
October 1, 2016

First- GIANT BUBBLES- One of Jim's patients gave him some secret mix for some pretty awesome bubbles.



 PUMPKIN PICKING- I took the girls over the farm across the street from us to pick out a couple pumpkins for our front porch
I love this picture!!!!


 PARK TIME- While the boys were at Priesthood, we went to go play at some parks.  We ended up playing at 3 different parks before it got dark :)
