Happy October Birthday's

October has been a very busy month of birthday wishers and birthday fun. We started out with our Aysha turning 2 on October 3rd. Next up our Laura turning 6 on October 4th. Then it was my turn for birthday wishes on October 14 and Bret following 3 days later on October 17th.
We had a big cake and Ice cream party on Sunday with our Sara leading us in signing Happy Birthday to all of the October celebrities birthday. I think we had 30 people at my house to celebrate the day. We laughed talked and talked and had such a great time together. I love birthday's and family and fun!!!

Happy Birthday Linda

Hey it is my birthday today and I am happy to still be healthy and one year older. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, children & their spouses and amazing grandchildren. I am truly a rich woman in all the ways that really matter.
I had a great breakfast with Debbie, Susan and Geri this morning at Mimi's which included a crab and avocado omlet complete with a muffin. Now I am planning a special day with my sweetheart...life is good!

Fall Leaves

We drove up South Fork Canyon with Dan's mom to enjoy the leaves and even though we were a wee bit late the color and the mountains were still beautiful. We all had a milkshake afterwards and enjoyed our time together.

Eliza's Baby Blessing!

We had such an amazing and fun baby blessing on Sunday. Eliza's looked beautiful in her lovely white long blessing dress complete with hair band and white shoes. She was just the perfect baby that is so loved by so many!

Both families that totaled 42 people came to support our little Eliza on her special day. Jason gave a beautiful blessing for his beautiful daughter.

After the blessing we went to Jason and Melinda's house and had a super delicious brunch with a potato bar, fruit and relish tray and cake. Melinda did such a great job planning and putting it all together. Thanks to Jason and Melinda for presenting us with this new baby to love and enjoy.

We had such a great day to remember!

BIG WIN!!!

Yep it's true...it really is... BYU won their opening game against the Oklahoma Sooner's ranked number 3 in the nation! We could hardly believe our eyes when the Cougars pulled off a "W" in the last few minutes of the game and won by a score of 14 to 13!!! We watched the game with Bob, Keri and kids, Debbie & Ondre, Jake and Bryson and we had such a great time yelling and cheering them on to victory. McKay Jacobson caught a wide open pass in the end zone from Max hall to seal the victory.

The game was the first college game played in the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Dallas, Texas. From all reports the stadium was a tremendous setting for a football game with all the bells and whistles.

After the game,Bob drove the Hummer down 1-15 all the way to South Jordan with the Big "Y" lights on his car getting honks of approval all the way home.


It was a great win for our conference.

Just days later BYU is ranked number 9 in the polls. This should prove to be an exciting year for BYU and cougar fans.

Sunday and family

I love spending time with out families on Sunday. It just caps of a perfect day.

When Jason & Melinda called to invite us to dinner and to see the girls, all three of them, they got a quick YES response from me. I could not wait to see Laura, Sara and to hold and kiss on our new baby.

We had a wonderful ham dinner and may I add that any meal cooked at their home is delicious! Baby Eliza was dessert and we all could not get enough of her. She got lots of hugs and kisses from everyone. Too much fun. Grandma Great got to meet our newest and 17th granddaughter and she gave her a thumbs up. What precious girls we have to love and enjoy.

What a special day we all had together. Thanks to Jason & Melinda for a wonderful day!

Basement is completed

My uncle Tom and aunt Dorothy had a wonderful party at their home to celebrate the completion of their basement complete with lots of people including Kevin and Geri, Susan and Carl, Debbie and Ondre and Tom's children and their spouses and children, cousins and extended family. It was just great to eat, visit and just have some fun.



Tom did so much of the work himself and they hired out what things Tom either did not know how to do or preferred not to do. They hired a decorator to complete the space and it turned out just lovely. It is a great looking and functional space. It looks great!

Enjoyed every minute of our time together!!!
