Red Butte Field Trip

Gavin turns 5!!

I can't believe that he has grown up this much in the time that we've lived here in SLC! He is soo excited though. We're gonna have a fun "Halloween" themed party with a 'ghost' pinata and yummy treats. Because Gavin loves mohawks, I'm gonna let him wear one on his birthday. These pictures were taken about a month ago but it is funny how Gavin transformed into a "cool dude." I had to encourage him to smile to make sure he wasn't angry.

Garden

We had a tremendous amount of zucchini this year from our garden. Needless to say, I made a LOT of zucchini bread and shared it with neighbors. This was the most successful garden yet, due to the constant upkeep (and a lot of fertilizer!) We have enjoyed eating our home-grown veggies: tomatoes, squash, snow peas, broccoli, cucumber, carrots and our very own pumpkins!

The Rainbow

Grandma Haymore was visiting us on the day that we got a perfect rainbow. Elisabeth loves rainbows!

Logan is Eight!!

As is customary in our church, children who turn eight years old are able to be baptized and confirmed official members. We had a wonderful visit with family members who came to support Logan in his decision to be baptized. We even got a sneak visit from his "Uncle Ben" who is currently serving a mission here in Salt Lake City.

We were so happy to get to visit with the Kulesus Family (Grandma and Grandpa, Erin and Mike) and Grandma Haymore. It was a wonderful birthday for Logan!

Moab, UT

We really needed a vacation. This was our first "official" vacation since moving to UT (other than visits to family out of state.) We really had fun hiking around Arches National Park and swimming in the Super 8 Hotel pool. The kids had so much fun, Elisabeth wanted to move there! It was just gorgeous!
