Bret's black eye

Bret and mosquitoes are not friends. This is what happens when one gets him.

Fall

We love Fall. The kids had so much fun playing in the leaves.

We got sick of being in the city. We took the kids for a drive up to Ellijay GA and picked apples. There strawberry apple cider was so good.

Kate's preschool graduation ceremony

idaho

I took the kids and went to Idaho. We flew in on Wednesday. Bret was sick and had a 103 temperature. He was asleep the entire way there. Kate was really good. It was a four and a half hour flight to Salt Lake City Utah and it was a fifty minute flight to Boise. We were ready to be done flying. I got to sit next to a guy that was a member but not very active. He and I talked about the church for about two hours of the flight. I left very grateful for the testimony I have. My little brother Ryan came home on Friday night from his mission. There were all 9 of us there. We went to the church for dinner after he came in. I think there was over 60 of us there. Kate had fun playing with her cousins. I think we got back to my in-laws around 9 that is 11 my time so the kids and I were ready for bed. Earl got married on Saturday. That was another fun fulled day. Grandma Jaques came down to the reception and took Kate back to her house. Kate was just too tried and cranky for me to want her there, so I did not get any pictures of her in her dress.


Grandpa took Kate out to ride the horses. She loved it. Bret loved the horses too. He was just happy to be out side.






Renae and I went down to the Shoshone Falls. It was so full and pretty.

Playing outside

We took the Kids out fishing. We love being outside. Here are some of the pictures I got of them. This is at a Georgia Wildlife place about 30 minutes from here.






Bret thought he needed to eat everything on the ground.

Deb

We love Deb. She is a lady that was in our ward. She has been in Florida for over a year now. We really miss her. While we were in Idaho, Kate got this in the mail. Her dad opened it but we did not tell her until we got back home. Deb had her mom make it for Kate because she knows how much Kate loves pink. Kate has had it on her bed every night. Kate got mad at me because I would not let her take it to school. Thank you so much Deb. We love it.
