Our Future Footballer

 An offensive lineman, perhaps?
 A defensive lineman?
 Nope, he's going to be a running back.
"But Dad, I want to play basketball!"
 Behold, the rolls.


He's a happy little man........most of the time.
This is how he puts himself to sleep.

Francis Peak

 There is a radar station on the top of the mountain next to our apartment complex.  This morning we drove 10 miles up a dirt road and then climbed the hill to the top of the mountain.  We were greeted by beautiful views from all around, but we were also greeted by very cold winds.

I went to Paradise

We took Douglas to a pumpkin patch in Paradise, Utah



We also visited the Halloweenie Roast

This morning I took a stroll up the hillside to watch the sunrise
Naturally, this is where I stopped. :)


A quiet, fresh environment makes one smile.

Randomness

 We've had some gorgeous weather these past weeks, so I took advantage for a fall photo of the Provo Temple.
 A morning visit to the Provo Temple
A morning visit to the Provo Temple
 Sushi (at Thai Drift in Orem, UT) with some of my favorite people in the world.
We wandered over to the MOA to check out some costumes worn in various Hollywood movies.

 Then we went to the Bean Museum
 President Boyd K. Packer's exhibit was my favorite part of the museum.
 I should put this on a t-shirt.  This is exactly how I think!
 Our last stop at BYU campus was the BYU student athlete building.  This photo shows all of the locations where current BYU athletes served (or are currently serving) missions.
 Our little football with the big football players.
 Today (Thursday) we visited Sara and Jarem out in Heber City.  Ari showed me his burial plot (or perhaps a fox hole).
 Ari........buried (or using his fox hole).
 We started a fire and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. 


 Ari put his hotdog on a not-so-thin roasting stick.
 Happy to be out in the fresh air.
 "Aaaaahahaha.  Roasting marshmallows is SO fun!"
Then we drove over to Heber Valley Artisan Cheese to take a short tour.  Say cheese!
 Jude is thrilled at all the cheese-making information.
 "Uh, Dad, it's too cold to smile."  Inside the "cave."
 Large slab of cheese.
This might be the coolest town in the United States.
