Exploring our new digs

While the list of repairmen that have traipsed through our house to fix something grows, we have been exploring around our area and totally enjoying being close to family.

The kids were brave and friendly and made some quick friendships at school.  It is always good to have someone to play with during recess!  Our school had their fundraising carnival in September so we got to do the usual face-painting and stocking up on silly little trinkets.  Kids love that kind of stuff.


We discovered a really beautiful hike a couple minutes from our house.  It is called Dry Canyon and the steep ascent pays off with a great valley view and cool rock formations as well as lots of shade and what we are pretty sure is a spy-network of tunnels and speakers.  You'll have to come visit so we can show you!

We have a huge pirate boat docked in a neighbor's yard. Cade had to yell "Ar Matey!" a couple times.

Painted Afton's room




We got a new cousin (my brother's baby) Lock

Ben lost his first tooth!

Afton and I went to the women's conference with Stubbs cousins

We went to BYU sporting events (Jared is in HEAVEN)

I got together with friends I have known for over 20 years.

A great September to remember!
