Sunday Afternoon with the College Students













Last Sunday (10/19) was our day to host the MBBC college students. We had nine students this time. We love having them over - especially the kids. Normally we play a game or two and then they nap or study. This time Aaron dedicated all of his time to jump on the trampoline, teach the boys to jump onto the swing and took all of them for a bike ride. Melissa (Aaron's girlfriend) - also spent alot of time with Meg. This is the 1st time I didn't get a picture of everyone around the table - Sorry! : (

Edward's Apple Orchard

Time to catch up

I am so far behind in blogging - so please bear with me. I had a difficult time getting my pictures downloaded to the blog - which is unusual. I have been SO over-whelmingly tired and haven't had energy or time to do anything extra. I will post several pictures/slideshows and explain them all to you at one time. So here goes!

COTTONWOOD AIRPORT
Rick & Caleb enjoyed some time at Cottonwood Ariport earlier this month. They have a young eagles program. Caleb got to help fly a small plane and ride in another. They flew over our house - that was really neat for Caleb. This is his new passion.

GAME TIME
My boys have wanted to play the real Monopoly - so here's a few pictures of them playing.

EDWARD'S APPLE ORCHARD
The boys and I really wanted to go to Edward's Apple Orchard, but Megan really didn't want to - so after talking Megan into going -we went. They all fed the goats, the boys tried out all of the tractors more than once, Megan & I worried about the Llama spitting at us, and we all enjoyed an apple critter (the smaller crispy pieces of dough they can't sell as donuts - YUM! They're the best), cider or slush. Meg really enjoyed relaxing in the sun reading the Maranantha Messenger - I guess that's what teens like to do when at the Orchard. : ) I'm glad she finally decided to come with us.

PAGE PARK
Everyone who has grown up around Page Park knows how beautiful the leaves are EVERY fall. It's almost tradition to get pictures in trees and leaves there at Page Park. Here are a few - the ones of the kids in the tree turned out really well - I think!

Rick's Birthday






Rick turned 41 on Sept. 27th. My folks kept our kids overnight on Fri. the 26th - so we could go see Fireproof. This was such a good movie with a great message. (by the way, it is a 5 buck movie starting tomorrow) I encourage everyone to go if you can. Rick had to work on his birthday - so when he & the kids got home he opened presents and then we went out to Jessica's to celebrate my Gramma's 91st birthday. We all enjoyed a slice of his cake when we got home that night.
