The first weekend in October is always General Conference, so it's a good time for the kids to come home. This time it was Lisa's family who came and Chad and Luann came over on Saturday! We really did watch conference most of the time, but 4 hours is a lot! Lisa had a really fun 'Bingo' game for the kids!
We were so lucky to have beautiful warm days to enjoy together. I got to spend lots of time hugging and kissing on little baby Lawson. He is now pulling himself to get to the things he wants and started sitting up by himself while he was here!
Also, one of the days Lisa was here, Sonja needed me to come stay with Mom because Randy had a Dr. appointment. So I went to St. Johns, but then decided to bring Mom back to Eagar so she could see her great-grandkids!
We also took the kids on a short nature trail hike one day along the Little Colorado River. It's a nice easy trail close to town that we could even use the stroller.
It's called a wildlife trail, but we only saw the signs of wildlife!
The Fall colors are starting to show!
It seems I always need something fixed, so Barry got my grill working by putting a new valve on it while he was here.
Barry went home early Monday morning and Lisa left on Wed. because she wanted to see Kingston off on his mission early Thursday morning at the airport!
Kingston had 2 weeks of MTC training at home and then on Thursday, October 8th, he flew out to the Missionary Training Center in Mexico because he is going on a Spanish speaking mission in CA.
So many people came to see him off! I should have driving down! But it's a 4 hour drive and he has lots of support!!
A VERY HAPPY/SAD DAY!
Now he's in Mexico!
October 17th- BYU plays Notre Dame and wins 28-24 in the final seconds. Mark bought tickets for him, Bret, Barry, Kirk, Ryne & Zallen. They all stayed at the BYU Fanhouse! Reed and Natali were there too, watching from the VIP boxes!!
Mom and I also watched the game. She stayed a week with me 14th-19th. Sonja & Randy had the funeral of brother in law, Bill Cherry. Sherry, Curt, Garrett and little Don came to see her.
HALLOWEEN 2026!!! I like to see how creative and fun my kids are!
Rome!
Isabel and Eliana
Reed's cute family!
Lisa went over and beyond creative this year. She did an ocean theme for their Ward 'Trunk or Treat' and won 1st prize. It all started with Lawson's baby shark costume! She made the coral reefs, the rocks, etc She even made the shark bowl for the treats. The kids had to 'walk the plank' through shark invested waters to get to the candy. The kids were sharks, Barry was the lifeguard and she was a diver with a wet suit on.
Bret dressed up and played the whole persona of Pres. Trump. He is a hoot! Suzy was a 'baker'. They did homemade ice cream and cookies to give all the kids. They got 2nd place!
