October Conference 2021

We love being able to visit Uncle Trent's cabin at Bear Lake.  The men helped with a work project before conference started.  We had a campfire for tin foil dinners.  Bubbles had some interesting meat varieties to try.  Grandma had a fun craft and we kept the kids busy while listening to general conference.  We also played in the lake and had lots of great cousin time!



















Fall favorites

Jonathan was our soccer superstar this fall.  He had a great coach and team and cheerleader.  Some of the family made it to our favorite Harvest Fair.  Friends and YMs activities.  Visiting the Maxfield's garden!  Property in Fairview Jared looked into.  Girls' retreat with the Hepworths and Reeders.  Maren monkeying around...  (while Jordan is at trumpet lesson.)  Tessa's pumpkin meet.  She's amazing!  Reading with Grandpa.    


































 

Two Birthday Girls 2021

Leisel turned 9 and decided to go to Lagoon with a friend to celebrate!  They reserved a day during Frightmares and Jordan invited a friend too.  Grandma put them to work at the cabin to earn some extra money for tickets.  Jared hosted the group and they had a blast.  Tessa decided to get her ears pierced for her birthday and Grace was free when we were heading to the mall.  We sure love both fun girls and enjoyed celebrating with them!  
Leisel started 3rd grade at Southland this year and makes friends with everyone.  She loves to learn and is so smart.  Her teacher loves her.  She also chose to learn ballet and modern dancing this year.  She is so capable and helpful with a generous, loving heart.  
Tessa turned 12!  She always has a battle with wanting to grow up but also wanting to hold onto the fun of childhood.  With that balance she is maturing into a great leader.  She tries to make hard things into a game and she has set goals to be kind and friendly to everyone.  This year she has enjoyed joining the young women's organization and pushing herself in tumbling.
