Buddies

Our good friends the Bevans were able to come up to our home and visit. Evalyn LOVED having Ruthie and Tate to play with. She is used to boring Mom all of the time and to see someone her size was super exciting.



Dave was pulling them around on the blanket on our hardwood floors (didnt we all do that when we were little?) The girls were loving it but Tate wasnt so sure...

Tate thought Evalyns hair was pretty cool...


We are so lucky to have such awesome friends and hopefully the hard winter ahead will still allow them to make another trip up!

Finally some food

Last week a girlfriend and I went to one of the canning nights here in town. I have been trying to build up a 3mo supply of food storage but I finally decided I would can some items to rotate in a 3mo supply.(stuff we will actually eat in addition to our wheat, beans, rice etc)and then go from there. Anywho, we had a lot of fun and I highly recommend the outing. Through the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you can get food storage for amazing prices. I was able to can 2 cans of potato flakes, 1can carrots, 1 sugar,and 2cans of apple slices for $29.00 Now going back every month and stocking up will be easy. Now the items I canned along with my small supply I had previously actually looks like some food storage! (kinda boosts your self esteem:)

PROTECT MARRIAGE

Even if we do not live in California we can help protect marriage. We need to start taking an active role and show our conviction in protecting our families. If proposition 8 is not passed to protect marriage as defined between a man and a woman, it will effect us all. It is only a matter of time before it reaches our states and our families, our children. Visit Protectmarriage.com and discover what you can do. I encourage all of us to post the link to protectmarriage.com on our blogs.

From Fall pictures

Sunday after conference, Kevin and Nicole came up to visit. We drove them to Aspen Grove to see some of the fall colors and get a few pictures. Our camera was acting up so they offered to take a bunch of our family. The scenery was beautiful! Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. I love the crisp air, beautiful colors, and hot cider. I am so glad Kevin and Nicole were able to come up with us. Thanks again guys for all of the pictures!!!
