Strange company

Saturday night I sit alone in my house when I heard a knock at my door. I went to see who it was and was met by these two strange characters. Believe or not they did say
"Trick-or-Treat". Meilin and her friend Benj(amin) were having fun dressing up and they came to see if I would recognize them. Fun kids!

Big Smile

So can you tell who my new favorite person to scrap about? Sunday Andrew, Alyse and Rex came over for dinner. Rex slept the entire evening. He is quite the baby to watch while he sleeps. He pulls all sorts of fun faces. He had a captured audience! I held the camera ready every time he smiled. Sweet dreams little Rexie!

Sunday we spent about an hour with Andrew, Alyse and Rex. It was so wonderful to see this sweet little family and how much love this new addition has brought with him. As we were leaving I captured a couple of tender moments of father and son together. Andrew, the proud daddy, had such a happy face. Thanks for the sweet memory!

Labor Day

Our Labor day started out with our annual family bike ride up the Provo River trail. It was slightly overcast so it was excellent weather for a ride. Spencer was able to join us for the first hour before he had to turn back to head back to work. We rode from Utah Lake to the Shopco on the diagnal for a total of 12 miles.

Meilin and Mom on the bridge where we turned around. We then headed to Maceys for Icecream cones! Yum! Yum.

Shrotly after this Mitchell crashed into a young father with his child. Both were ok, but it was Mitchell's second crash of the day, poor guy!
After lunch at Burger King it was off to the Spanish Fork Airport to go flying with Jourdan! What fun! This was our first chance to see him in action and fly with Him.



Mitchell thought it was "Totally AWSOME!!!" Meilin giggled the whole flight and Dad got to fly to Provo airport and do a touch and go with Jourdan. Upon returning the weather started to get windy so Mom's ride had to be postponed. (Darn!) It was the highlight of the day! Thanks Jourdan!

So for Justine's birthday Dad and I took a trip to Cedar City to help her celebrate. We enjoyed eating at the Pizza factory. The next day we went out and she took us to St. George to climb the Red Rocks above Dixie. It was a very hot day! It was well over 100 degrees. Justine wanted us to experience "The Crack". We finally found it after searching for a while. It was a very narrow crack that headed slightly uphill. Justine led the way with me next but when Ron started in he couldn't turn his head from side to side so he felt he would get stuck so he decided to climb up on top and take pictures. It was a lot cooler int the crack, it took us about 10 minutes to navigate through. Boy did we enjoy the yogurt at Munchies afterwards!!!

Thanks for the memories, we love you Justine!

Meilin was excited to finally start 6th grade. Summer was getting a bit long and she was ready to jump back into learning. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Lunt. This year was a bit hard because most of her friends started Jr. High. She will do great! Have a fun year Meim!
