Timber!

We had trees that needed to be cut down. All was going well with the help of our neighbors 

Until a tree went rogue and clipped the side of our house. 

We are grateful it wasn't worse and that we have great neighbors who helped repair it quickly 

You can't even tell there was damage now!

Work ofArt

Kate is a busy little gal and always into everything 

She even gets into the markers and creates a masterpiece of herself. 

Beautiful Day

The kids didn't have school on a Monday morning so we went hiking 

It was a gorgeous fall day

The boys ran the entire way with their friends 

Kate had lots of friends to play with too 

It was a big group. We are even missing a few in this picture 

After a picnic lunch, we went on our own adventure 

We even saw an alligator and huge turtles. 

It was an awesome day!

Homecoming

School got out early for the high school homecoming parade so we decided to check it out this year 

We played around and we're goofy on the grass waiting for it to start 

It was very exciting when it started with the fire truck and marching band. 

And once the floats started throwing candy the kids were in heaven 

We had lots of fun seeing people we knew, catching candy and finding all kinds of other prizes like cups, shirts and beads. We will be back next year!

General Conference

We enjoyed General Conference again this year. The kids look forward to their conference parking lots and Lego temples. 

We also tried setting up tents to listen like they did for King Benjamin 

We feasted on the words of the prophets. And worked hard while listening. 

Fall Evenings

The weather was cooler and we had some friends over to play  

 They spent hours jumping on the trampoline and playing in the play house. Then we lit up the fire pit for s'mores. 

It was a deliciously fun evening!

Fall Hikes

Kate and I put on our shades and hit San Houston Jones State Park for a hike in the cooler temps 

We loved the blue skies, beautiful sights and pleasant weather. 

We even saw two alligators! Only in Louisiana 

We are looking forward to more lovely days hiking
