Moab in the Fall....

The week-end after conference Wynn and I went to Moab for our

Fall RZR ride.  We were suppose to go the week-end before with the

Kinghorn's but it just didn't feel right.  I felt we needed to stay

home and watch and learn from conference.

Kinghorn's couldn't go this week-end so it was just Wynn and I.

We left Thursday after Book Club and headed out.

We spend the night in Price and then headed for Moab on

Friday morning.  

We road all over and enjoyed being together. 

The weather was just simply beautiful.

In fact, I wish I would of taken my short pants.

We got kind of warm.

We stayed in Moab Friday and Saturday night

then drove home on Sunday.

A fun, fun week-end.

I love being with Wynn.

He is my everything.

Day 2

 If you look read close, you can see the Rainbow Arch in Arches National Park.

We are not in the park, we are behind it but we could still see it.

So beautiful.  

Conference and doughnuts

Saturday night while the guys enjoyed the priesthood session of

conference, the rest of us made doughnuts.

We had a ball!

So glad these  monkeys could come over

and enjoy the evening with us.

Free day at Yellowstone National Park

September 26th was free entrance day at Yellowstone.

We went with Steven & Brooke.

What a fun day!

My favorite part was riding in the back of the van with 

Emily and Camden.

They are the apple of my eye.

We just leisurely enjoyed the day and a picnic in the park.

Family is just the best!

 Old Faithful!

 The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

My personal favorite!

Oh Cam, you crack me up!

Alex Boye' concert

Last week I got a text from Brooke wanting to know if I would go to the

Alex Boye concert with her up at BUY-I, her treat!

Who could say know to that?  Not me!  

We had such a wonderful evening. 

We enjoyed dinner at the New York Burrito

Then we enjoyed the concert.

I simply loved it!  Such a good spirit was there.

Such up lifting music.

It really was a fun evening.

We ended with frozen custard from Nielsons.

 I just love our Brookie, she is the best 

daughter-in-law anyone could ask for.

She is my best friend!  

Activity day at the Library

We visited the Library for activity days this week.

It was so much fun!  We had a tour and then a scavenger hunt.

We all got bookmakers that smell like chocolate chip cookies.

These girls are the best!  

Emily

This is our Emily in her new skirt that I made her.

I bought the shirt but the skirt I made.

It turned out pretty cute.

I just love making Emily skirts.

It seems I like skirts too.

I made Jenna one too.

Oh, granddaughters are the best.

Soon Elle will be old enough for skirts.

I can't wait...

(The best part it taking Ems fabric shopping)

Get-a-way week-end

Tomorrow will be Wynn and I's 36th wedding anniversary.

I can't believe it has been that long.

A lot has happened to us in that time frame.

We are empty nesters and feel blessed that we still

"like" each other.

This year Wynn planned our anniversary celebration.

I loved it because he planned it and I had to do NOTHING!

We left right when I got off work on Friday.

We grabbed some lunch then headed out for

Stanley, Idaho.

Yup, that's where we went.

Up in the Sawtooth Mountain Range.

Wynn loves it there and I enjoyed hearing all the stories he had to tell.

Most of them involved our boys and scout outings.

We checked into our little cabin and then we 

went to dinner.  Not too many choices but

a co-worker of Wynn's told him about a restaurant

where the food was really good.

WE checked it out and it was delicious!

I had trout and Wynn had a steak.

After dinner we went on a little drive to 

Redfish Lake.

It was simply beautiful!

We loved reminiscing about camping there

when our kids were young and also when we were

with Wynn's whole family on a huge camping trip.

So many memories.

Saturday morning, we got up and drove to Sunbeam

Hot Springs.  We thought about taking a dip but

it was like 10:00 in the morning and it was still

about 35 degrees with a little breeze.

Just a little too chilly for me.

We then went up the dredge road.

We checked out some grave yards and just

basically enjoyed our time together.

We then headed for Sun Valley over the Galena Pass 

where the Snake River begins.

It was totally beautiful.

We had a picnic of fried chicken from

Albertson's  in Sun Valley and then 

headed for home.

Such a fun week-end get-a-way.

The best part -

Wynn planned it all!

Here's to another 36 years!
