Faithful Fall Colors


School starts and I am working in the classroom, learning and growing with them. Most important at this time is seeing Peter grow in the gospel and get baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Here we are celebrating Peters baptism.


 Blake is getting ready to leave for his Spanish speaking mission to New Mexico. head for  Albuquerque  
This is the Draper temple, very close to Dereks home. We tried to take a selfie there but finally ended up with this.


The new kitten is loved by,, almost all! He has not won over everyone yet. Nattie is cheering for Orem High now so we get to enjoy more local events.
Here are Karina and her girls, and look, they are almost all the same height! 

We loved being at Peters baptism, mostly because we have seen him grow and see what a great boy he is.  In a few days Blake will be off to the Mission Training Center to prepare for his Spanish speaking mission to Albuquerque.
Spending time with these two buddies of mine brings me great joy, They are loving bringing in the fruits of our labors, swimming in the hot tub, sharing toys,  and hugs. I am so glad that we get to share the fruits of  our life with so many of the grandkids. I love them and hope that they feel my love for them and for the sacrifice of our Savior.
