Labor Day Picnic

We went to the cabin for Labor Day and had a wonderful time visiting, playing games, hiking, and looking at the lush grass and wildflowers.  For lunch we drove to Big Lake for a picnic and also to see the Wallow Fire destruction.  Once again we sere pleased to see that the devastation wasn't widespread.  The grass has all grown back and with the Forest Service seeding and putting down straw, you can see from the pictures how beautiful the grass is.  Some areas were disheartening though.  The picture taken at our picnic lunch was right next to the Ranch's old corrals.  Happy memories in a beautiful place.

Cool Pictures. I can't believe how the grass has grown already.

Ok, this is quite a goofy combination. (I got the word "Goofy" from the Mtn commentator on Saturday's BYU/Wyoming football game. Did you notice how many times he said "goofy.") Anyway Saturday as I was doing the dishes, I noticed a roadrunner outside walking across our basketball court. At first I thought it was Morgan because he is so fast on the BB court..... Funny. Seriously, we all looked and sure enough it was a roadrunner. We have never seen one in our yard before. As for the Christmas Tree. Saturday afternoon we attended a "Capitol Christmas Tree Celebration." Arizona has the honor of providing the 2009 Capitol Christmas Tree for the US Capitol. The tree is an 85' blue spruce harvested from the Apache Sitgreaves Forest south of Eagar. This is the first time a tree has been selected from an Arizona forest. Rachel's school choir sang in the program. The tree is packaged up and goes on tour across the US until it arrives in DC Nov...

Anniversary

Image
Doug and I recently celebrated our 28-year anniversary.  A few years ago we thought we would like to go to a different temple for our anniversary each year.  Luckily Bryan got married near our anniversary date so we got to count the St. George temple as our Anniversary Temple!  I wonder where we will go next year?  When I was young, one of my goals was to visit every temple in the world.  Like that is going to happen now.  So I revised my goal and decided on one new temple each year.

Rachel the Soccer Star

Rachel finished her soccer season today. She scored a goal today to top off her season. It was a fun season, especially the two games her dad coached. (The only 2 games they won.) He is quite proud of his record! Doug is a really good soccer coach and had the kids playing positions so well.
