Jenna's Special Day

In preparation for Jenna's mission to California, we all went to the Rexburg, LDS temple.  This was Jenna's first time, other than baptisms.  Today was a wonderful fall day, made even more beautiful by sharing time with family in the House of the Lord.

Jenna's Mission Call!

Jenna received her mission call and she will be serving in the CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES mission.  As part of her mission she will serve in the Los Angeles Temple Visitor's Center.  She will enter the MTC on February 1.  She was super excited because her childhood best friend Chelsey Hillman also received her call, will enter the MTC on February 1, and is going to the Ohio Cleveland Mission.  Chelsey will also be serving part of her mission in the Kirtland visitor's centers.

Happy Birthday Emrie!

List past week we celebrated the birthday of our fabulous 4 year-old Emrie, our little talk-your-leg-off bundle of love.

Our Developing Artist

Christopher spends some time each day drawing and apparently some time in school doodling.  He loves to go to on-line art teaching resources to help teach himself.  Here is a torso sketch he has been working on and some doodles off of a homework sheet.

Fall Horseback Ride

After several days of snowy and rainy weather, the clouds broke on Saturday so we decided to go on a quick ride.  We were joined by Jenna's friend Davin and we saddled up all four horses and rode down to the Teton River.  The water in the slough before the river was incredibly calm and with the fall colors and evening clouds made from some spectacular reflections.  Oh, and Isaac saw a dead beaver and just moments later Bullseye got spooked and after three bucks sent Isaac tumbling.  Thanks to a good helmet and a tough little boy, he got back on and rode back across the creek.
