England

John had the chance to go to England for a business trip. It was green with rock walls as fences. Below is the River Ribble where many of the early saints were baptized by Heber C. Kimball.

Island Park

We went to Island Park a few weeks to go snowmobiling. It was a fun time.

John and I have been spending time doing a little of this and that this fall. We took some friends up to the Continental Divide on 4-wheelers and showed them the scenery outside of Island Park.

John has been busy getting projects done at the cabin before winter sets in.
This project was a major one.

Tara is busy with her leadership class in school.
She gets to be in charge of some of the extra activities the school puts on.
This is a picture of "T" in her tu-tu.

These are pictures of our new little Grandaughter, Alayna. She was born on September 6th. She is about as cute as they come!

We will be getting another grandbaby in May. We can't wait for #3 the get here!

In July we planned a vacation to Chicago, Des Moines and Nauvoo. We met up with Andrea and Mckenna in Chicago. We later went to Des Moines and saw Andrea and Devin's new home. We had a great time in a land where they grow tons of corn, when it rains it pours, and if you like humidity you would love Iowa.

One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Nauvoo.
This is Tara in front of Carthage Jail.

We spent a day at the zoo and were surprised they had cows and pigs. Only in Chicago!

We went all over Chicago and saw lots of landmarks. One that we saw was the bean.

We got to see the famous dinosaur - Sue.

and of course we had a great time with Mckenna!

The last week in July was Girl's Camp Tara and Susan had a great time.

Tara and Shauna are in Las Vegas this week visiting Katie.
