Snow Day

Hello Family,
It snowed! The kids were so excited. Mercer really wanted to make a snowman, so we did it. Even Rori helped. She wanted to come outside so badly, she tried it barefoot for a while. Mercer and Lilli were so into it. Unfortunately we did it when Dexter was at school, but he came home and played in the snow for a good hour. I think this is truly the first snowman I have ever made. Lilli named him Mrs. White. She found the eyes, the buttons and we found the arms together. Not sure where they dug up the hat... Happy Winter!!

just so everyone knows---it is official--gary and i are dating!!! and it's been fabulous. wonderful really. he just came to utah for the weekend and we had such a good time (football game, dinner with friends and mom, dad and john, scary movies, day trip to logan to visit his sister and her fam) and way too short of a weekend. but don't worry i've already got a ticket to see him the week after thanksgiving in vegas. i didn't take any pictures of us this weekend (i know, very uncharacteristic of me), but this pic is from my trip to california for summit when he took me to disneyland...

It was pretty cute how hard Weston worked on this pumpkin!

Good times!

So I successfully guilted Mom into coming to my house for Halloween. And I am so glad that I did because we had a blast with her and Ernie! Thanks for coming guys! We need to all try and spend a Halloween together. It would be all sorts of fun!

Fall Fades to Winter

Hello Family, Happy Fall. Hope everyone is doing well. We had a good, peaceful Halloween. Dexter went Trick or Treating with his cousins, so George and I took the 3 other ones just around my parents' court. By the second house, Rori knew how to bang on the door and yell, "TEET!" She carried her own treat bag and everything. (still not having a lot of luck uploading pictures, but I got one...)

Erin - would love to hear how things are.
John - heard you were in a band..
George & Leslie - heard you were in Hawaii..

Without begging, I would love to hear what's going on.. We still get most our news from Ryan's letters.. :) Love to all. r
