Thanksgiving

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Grandma, Pop, and Auntie Gay visited from Cali for the week, and Josh and Liz were down from Logan. We played lots of games and ate way too much. Nate was ordained an Elder on Saturday; it was a great day! Here are some pics from the week.

Liz trying to solve the puzzle (OK-she solved it). Scrumptious dinner. Nate and his girlfriend Kylie.

Sea World

Kristi and I went to Sea world in San Diego last week and had a great time. Kristi got to play with the dolphins, a long-time dream of hers.

We went for two days and did pretty much everything at the park. Oh yeah, we were tired. Here's some pics.

Jazz Game

Kristi scored two tickets to last night's Jazz game from a friend at work. Kristi is too nice so she gave the tickets to Nate and Spence. An hour and a half before the game, our neighbor across the street gives us two more tickets, so now we're all off to the game. Lower bowl seats (usually we're up in the nosebleed section), pizza, popcorn, dippin' dots - we had a great time.

September

It's been busy. Early in the month Auntie Gay (Dave's sister), Nikki (Gay's daughter), and LJ (Logan Joshua- Nikki's son) visited for a week from Bakersfield.

Josh & Liz were in town last Saturday so we took the opportunity to go to Murray Park and take a few family pictures. Getting the three boys to settle down and be serious for a picture is not easy!

Summer

A couple of weeks ago, Nate went to his girlfriend's house and returned a short time later driving a nice Lexus.  He was loving it.  He won't tell me how high he got it on the freeway; I'm thinking he's just lucky he didn't get a ticket!

One can only eat so many green beans and red potatoes - even fresh out of the garden and fixed in a variety of ways.  Kristi planted little green bean bushes and they produce a LOT of beans.  Next year we're planting french fries.

The west side of our house bakes in the sun all summer long, so we decided to plant some trees for shade.  Hopefully in a few years we'll have five trees worth of cool shade.

Latest with Us

A couple of weeks ago we went up to Logan to have dinner with Spencer's mission president and his wife.  It was great to have Josh and Liz join us.  Spencer was really excited to see President and Sister Anderson.  We were just as excited to meet the people that had taken care of our Spencer for two years in the Philippines.   7-17-08 0067-17-08 005   7-17-08 002 7-17-08 007

After dinner, Spencer, Kristi and I went over to Josh and Liz's place to play games.  Josh disappeared.  Later, the "Ninja" was poking his head around the stairs.  It was hilarious!

We've all been on separate vacations this last week.  Nathan went to Lake Powell with a few friends and stayed on a houseboat (we don't have any pictures yet from Nate's trip).

Spencer went on a cruise to Mexico.

We went to St. George to see The Sound of Music and Les Miserables at the Tuacahn Outdoor theater.  They were both fantastic!
