Matt and Mikes Visit in totally mixed up order

Perfect reflection pool picture

A fall hike to Murdock peak

Early on in the trail.....still fairly fresh and eager.

Gorgeous fall colors

We went to Music and the Spoken Word

Just 2 weeks ago this ravine was filled with wild flowers

Love the yellow and dark green

Beautiful

Not like the summer hikes, but beautiful still.....the higher we went, the more bare trees

Mike and I wending our way

The recent snow had flattened everything.

The higher we got, the more snow to hike through

In the tabernacle

Lisa and Matt on Temple Square

The the base line

Beautiful people, beautiful temple

Still fresh before the hike

Had to get Mike, too.  It was warm in the valley.

Our beautiful flowers were now at seed stage

But out path was strewn with gold

More seeds.  These were so brilliant white

The top of Murdock Peak.  Dad and I were going to make it.  (We did)

Loved the gold leaf ornaments on the green trees.  What more could you want for Christmas?

At the top of Murdock Peak:  A closed sign.  Guess we hiked far enough!

More leaf 'ornaments'

A view from on top!  Dad and I made it to the top.  Lisa, Matt and Mike rested (and waited patiently) at the bottom of the last hill.  It was my first experiences truly rock climbing.  I thought it was great!

Joshua loves soccer!

I loved all the pictures of Joshua playing soccer.  He runs and play hard and gets all sweaty.  It is an endearing part of his sweet personality.

Great block

Missed the goal

Anticipation

Focus

Running after the ball

Getting ready for a great kick

Here he goes.........

It was tons of fun until.........................

Look who came to visit!!

We were all so excited to see the Thornbrue's

Jalna came to Kristen's baby shower

So did Cena

Grandpa came too, though he was a little embarrassed about his biopsy

We told him it didn't look like anything at all

It was great to visit with lots of family

4 generations

I LOVE general conference for the messages and the family

More conference

Toys were more interesting to Elijah than talks, but that is okay, because he is perfect!

Grace and Ray had a ball playing together

Allie always takes care of others first

I love this boy

Conference is long........(goes by fast!)

More conference

Look at those terrific kids

Great family

Cute Grace

Then off to the park for a little treasure hunt

I think there must be real buried treasure down there

Elisabeth loves climb up and sliding down the slide

All this fun time.........and then just about everyone got Sick, Sick, Sick!!!

And that was 'no fun, 'neather.
