Bandit Squirrel and Fall Leaves

This squirrel really appreciates our indian corn decorations.

Fall leaves in our church parking lot.  The colors are beautiful right now, but it won't last for long.

Laila at her blessing.
Followed by me being tested for sleep apnea.

Grey at the water park.
The picture with me and all the wires is from my sleep test. I don't snore anymore because I get to use a CPAP machine to breath at night. The test showed I stopped breathing 101 times per hour. The machine is wonderful and I wish I'd gotten it years ago.

Just two more weeks!

We are trying to cram in lots of activities in Creed's final time at home. On the weekend after conference we did Creed's endowments in the afternoon and Laila's blessing in the evening. We also squeezed in a trip with all the grandchildren to Chucky Cheese.

This past weekend Creed, Anette and I spent a couple of days at Lake Powell. The weather was spectacular and the drive was beautiful--except for the blown trailer tire. Unfortunately the fishing was slow, but we still caught a few.

Sunday is Creed's farewell talk in sacrament, so we will have a house full of company again. Pretty soon it is going to seem very empty.

We went to the temple again tonight and ran into Anette's sister who is down from Montana for the birth of her newest granddaughter. That was a nice surprise.

Sick again

Well, remember how I told you we all had swine flu last month. Hmmm. Seems we had something different. NOW, it's swine flu! At least, James tested positive for it yesterday. So far, the rest of us are healthy and trying to avoid James!

September update

September 2009

7 September - We went to visit Ruth's Uncle Wilton in Star Valley. Jackie and Sheri were also their so we had a good visit with he cousins and Wilton and Norma. Wilton has prostate cancer and doesn't expect to live much longer. On the eleventh we went to a free musical at the tabernacle cormemorating 911 It was a very good presentation and the tabernacle was packed to overflowing. The twelfth we went to a historic home show that featured several restored home of some of the wealthier residences of early people in Logan and two older log homes.

We went to a presentation on the Constition on the 16^th, Three of the Persion kids took part in it. It was really well done and we enjoyed it very much the 22^nd we had a freeze warning for Cache Valley. Fortunatly it didn't happen but I'm sure it wonn't be long now before it does.

29 September, yesterday our temperature was in the mid eighties during the day. Today our predicted high was about fourty- eight. They are predicting a hard frost tonight with the possibility of snow in Cache Valley. This morning we have snow on the foothills above our house.

30 September, it did freeze this morning and killed the squash and cucumber plants but I covered th tomatoes so they survived for a little while longer.

Jed and Calley came up on Tuesday with Harvey and Grey. We went up to Tony Grove Lake for a picnic and so Calley and Jed could see the colors in the Canyon. It was a little chilly at Tony Grove but very pretty. Harvey is a very active child and just wanted to run.
