Food, Fall & Fun

Last night we drove up Cedar mountain to see the colorful fall leaves. Our friends, the Carpenter's, also came. We took pictures, ate pot-luck dinner and visited. We then drove to the "C" to enjoy the view and breathe some fresh smoke (from the fire near Beaver). We then drove down the face of the mountain to see the modest cabins. We saw a few deer. It was an enjoyable time.

Relief Society Retreat

Our ward relief society had a retreat from 1-8 pm at Hilda Grimshaw's, an older lady from our old ward, cabin up Parowan Canyon. It's a million dollar cabin with three levels. The views were absolutely gorgeous. It took 30 minutes to get there. We had 24 women attend. A few came and went and a couple came later. We played some fun games, made a craft with a temple picture and put it on a painted 2x6 and mod podged it on and put a ribbon on it. We had a speaker, a woman in our ward, and she talked on light- that ye may have light. We ate dinner which included blue ribbon chicken salad, fruit tray, veggie tray, rolls and cheesecake. We had snacks on the counter to eat whenever. We visited, tied a couple of baby quilts, and some shot hoops- including 90 year old Sister Grimshaw. We had a sister share some thoughts and we had a testimony meeting at the end outside as the sun was setting. The mountains were so beautiful. Red rocks capped the mountains and the pine trees stood tall and the bushes were beginning to change to their fall colors. We left at eight like planned and came home. Becca

Jesse's Black Eye

Jesse bonked heads with Ashlyn on the trampoline Sunday. We were visiting with the Banks/Payne family while the kids were in the backyard. His eye is more colorful today that the picture shows.

Daddy Daughter Derby

Saturday I took Bryn and Ashlyn to the stake daddy daughter derby at the stake center. The girls each got to decorate a car donated by the Happy Factory. They then got to race them down pinewood derby tracks against the other girls. Ice-cream and cookies were served at the end. The stake primary presidency was in charge of the activity. It was to spend time with the girls and I think they really enjoyed it.
