September Overview

So school is fully back in swing, but we try to still have a few adventures.

I had an adventure in Florida while on a business trip (yet another post because of an abundance of photos). I also went to a piano concert with Colby. It was in the performers home, so very intimate. We then went to dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant and had a wonderful time. September also brought a little GNO action with Tara and Adrienne. We went and listened to a band at a bar, and then got the best burgers in the world before stopping to see Bry at work.

Three ladies having fun :) And not getting drunk...at a bar.

Another just me adventure was a surprise visit with a friend from high school, Andrea Bishop. I picked her up from the airport, and took her on the very scenic route to Park City, including a stop at my house to meet my kids and an exploration of the Alpine Loop with a stop at Cascade Springs.
Gorgeous! Wish you were here!

Family adventures also prevailed. We took the chance one Saturday to go to Tibble Fork up American Fork Canyon and went on a hike with Bryant and Bowser.
This is why we hike in Utah.



Squirrel!!!
We found this random shelter.

Ironically, we had just watched Dead Poets Society.



What goes up, must come down. Event when its scary.

Best line of the day; Conner watched Bowser scramble up a steep hill and said "Wow, he's a good climber." I commented that I thought it was because he had claws. Conner said "Well, we have fingernails and farts. One good fart could get you all the way to the top!"

Boys are gross.

It was also fun going in the jeep because it allowed us to climb a dirt road to Silver Lake. Conner is not a fan of steep hills and didn't enjoy it, but the rest of us did.

I call this one "Jeep in a stream"
On one Saturday, we went to a candy store outlet called the "Peppermint Place". We found out you can have lots of different kinds of gummies! Like penguins, and bananas, and even body parts. Conner loved the body parts, especially when the lady helping us said "Now you can give someone the finger without you mom getting mad at you." Yeah. He thought that was pretty funny.





We also had the chance to do a few special things as a family. We all went to a session of a dedication of the remodeled Ogden temple. So we all went for a recommend interview.  Brother Johnson asked all the kids if they believed in Christ as Savior and Redeemer. Conner and Maryn answered in the affirmative, but Ashlyn said "No."I asked her why and she quietly responded "I don't even know what those words mean."

We also went to the baby blessing of Kami (Cameron) Terry's son. We enjoyed chatting with some of Dave's family.
