Watch out turkeys- here comes Grandpa!

Leila and Tristan watched Grandpa trim the family turkey - thinking ahead for Thanksgiving...then Grandpa got a little carried away with the trimmer!

A Sign ?

It was like "a sign", the cloud formation, early yesterday morning...saying better get out and do some favorite things...cold weather is coming...the end of the world??

So...Stephen and I played a little golf and JoAnn and I went to Coer'dlane

to our favorite Greek cafe for a Greek pizza!

Come to think of it - if it was the end of the world, we would have gone to the temple - but it is closed for cleaning - so golf and Greek was our second choice.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It was fun to get together last night to celebrate Stephen and Nathan's birthdays. Quin's birthday is soon - but he didn't want a "shared" celebration...but he celebrated none-the-less. Whatever the occasion (like Quinten demonstrated), being with family should always be a special gathering. A Baptist minister said, "Stop waiting for life to come tomorrow, begin living today. Don't miss what's NOW because you are looking for what's NEXT!" We could not agree more...live today! Celebrate everything you have. Celebrate your family and friends. Material things are worthless. How you treat your family is priceless. Enjoy every moment Heavenly Father has given you.

It was a full fall family fun festivity...day. Craig and Stephen ran a 1/2 marathon...and when Craig asked Eliot if he thought if Grandpa should run...he just laughed.

As tradition goes, we headed to Green Bluff to the straw maze - pumpkin picking and picnic-ing.
