I love to see the Temple

Jordan and Cahlin were married in the Salt Lake Temple on October 15. It was such a gorgeous day! What a special experience it was to be surrounded by family and loved ones both inside and outside of the temple. FaMilIeS aRe FoRevEr!

Halloween Fun

We had a really fun Halloween, with a cute "cavegirl" . . .
Two rockin' people from the '80s . . . and a handsome football player. It started raining late afternoon, so we didn't get many trick-or-treaters early, but it was pretty much done by 6 pm. Kennedy and Kayden both went trick-or-treating with friends, so the rest of us stayed home. I made two different kinds of soup and rolls. Savanna had some friends over and they all dressed up! We tried to play cards, but it was hard in between answering the door and people coming and going. It was great! I made caramel apples and we covered them with white chocolate and oreos, buterfinger and heath bars. They were a hit!
Kennedy got lots of candy, which she generously shared with everyone! She enjoyed answering the door as much as she enjoyed going! It was a great evening spent with people we love.

I Am Grateful For . . .

These three! Love you!!

Broken Things to Mend

"It was only when his faith wavered and fear took control, only when he removed his glance from the Master to look at the furious waves and the ominous black gulf beneath, only then did he begin to sink into the sea." Jeffrey R. Holland

Football

I could easily spot him in the game due to his long-sleeve gray sleeves. It was nice!

Kayden's football team is still going strong. They made the playoffs and won their first game quite handily (29-6). It was a very cold night, and very muddy, but they played so well and it is so satisfying to see them improving and ending strong. All the boys were tough and none complained about the less than ideal conditions. In fact, it was all the parents and spectators who were whining!


The field was a muddy mess! We woke up to a few inches of snow that morning. There was one game before Kayden's on the same field, and the middle of the field was nothing but a mud pit! I'm not sure we'll ever get his shoes clean. We had to wash his jersey twice, and it still showed some signs of mud.
