Halloween

We had a great sunrise this morning. It looked like the sky was on fire. Then Mom & Summer & Breezy went up the canyon to roast hotdogs. Finally, Breezy dressed up as a vampire (Bella?) to go to a Halloween party with Melissa Weldon. Bishop Weldon dressed as Batman, as usual, and brought all of the s from the party, including Breezy, through the neighborhood trick-o-treating. Glad it was him. I stay home and cuddled on the couch with mom and gave out candy.

Secret Lake

Vaughn and I hiked to Secret Lake in the Albion Basin this afternoon, probably our last hike of the season. Here are some pictures I took. It was great just to get up out of the city.

Hummingbirds

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures I took this summer of the hummingbirds around our house. It's not easy to get those little birds to sit still long enough to get a good picture.

Election 2008

This was the craziest election season I have ever experienced. As a Republican I found myself struggling with who to vote for, because to be honest, I didn't like any of the candidates. I decided to vote for Barak Obama for President for the following reasons:

1. I think he represents my family values better than McCain.
2. I think it is time for our men and women in uniform to come home from Iraq.
3. President Bush has gotten us further in debt. The Republicans have forgotten that they were the party that was supposed to be fiscally responsible. McCain will be more of the same.
4. Bush's domestic policies have obviously failed. McCain will be more of the same.
5. I voted for Obama to send a message to the Republican Party that it is time to wake up and get back to the conservative values that made it the Government of the People.

Now, get out and vote and take some personal responsibility for what goes on in this country.

Red Cliffs with Seth & Taely

Last weekend we went down to Cedar City to visit Seth & Taely. They took us to the Red Cliffs, which are just off the freeway at Leeds between Cedar City and St. George. The scenery was beautiful, and it was great to get out into nature with my family.

Shauna receives an Award & Grant from Zion's Bank

On Oct. 16th we were invited to see Shauna receive an award and $3,000 grant for her Project Read as a top woman in business. We were on the 18th floor of the Zion's Bank building, so I took a picture of the Angel Moroni on top of the temple and a picture of the Capitol building with the flag from the top of the Joseph Smith Building. It was a perspective I'd never seen before. I also wanted to post this picture of Conner, just because he is so cute.

Devin's soccer game

A few weeks ago we went to see Devin play in one of his soccer games. He was awesome, of course. He made one shot on goal that went in (I was standing on the goal line and saw the ball all the way past the goal line), but they didn't count it. Oh well! While I was watching the soccer game, Jan was playing with Aspen on the toys.
