Emma's Blessing Day

Emma was so beautiful in my sister's blessing
dress that Megan also wore. Joshua held the
microphone for the blessing, and Emma was
good and didn't fuss. Grandma was so nice to

write down the blessing for us.

After the blessing in front of our house:

Joshua and Megan hiked to the "Y" with Grandma

and Grandpa - Grandma's first time ever!

We all have so much fun holding Emma!

Joshua had fun hiking to the "Y" with his scout troop -

he took this picture from his phone of the view from

the top of the "Y" looking down over Provo.

We had a couple days off of school for Fall Break, when

Joshua went on a campout and rock climbing trip to

southern Utah with his scout troop - he loved rappelling!

The rest of us spent a day at Trafalga/Liberty Land

in Lehi where we enjoyed mini golf and rides.


Megan was a great driver, but scared me at first -

I can't wait until she drives a real car - yikes!

Zachary enjoyed going to Pumpkinland on a

school field trip.

Zachary had a fun costume parade at school -

he's wearing Joshua's old knight costume, which

used to be Uncle Canyon's costume!

His school also had a fun Halloween carnival -

here he saw his friend was also a knight.

Eddie took Joshua, Megan and Zachary on the

Heber Creeper for a Haunted Train ride. Eddie

and I enjoyed it last year with friends. Lots of

spooky tales were told and spooky creatures

wandered through the train and outside.

We had fun trunk-or-treating with our old ward.

Megan did a great job carving pumpkins and setting

up our trunk!

Then we had fun at an indoor party with our new

ward. Joshua was a skier, Megan was a beautiful

cat, Zachary was a knight, and Emma was the cutest

angel - wearing Megan's baby costume!

We visited Eddie's aunt and uncle on Halloween

Sunday - we're so glad his aunt is doing better!

We hosted a fun family get-together Sunday evening.

I had fun making yummy treats:)
