The Month of September...

We had a busy month and the pictures may not be in a good order, because it takes too much effort to do it backwards. There will be more pictures coming when I get my mother-in-law's copies from her camera. Daniel stood at the window, with mom's help, to look at a large dumpster being dropped off in front of the neighbor's house. He loves big trucks, so this is such a treat for him to see them at work.

We made a second trip to Kennecott Copper Mine when Frank's parents and sister came into town from Florida. Abby is standing in front of the big tire they use on their dump trucks that are HUGE, the size of our house.

This is one of the many views of the copper mine.


We got new couches from my lovely sister, Becky, who upgraded to fancy couches after her kids got old enough to be nice to them. And I also covered a older chair with a slip cover that I sewed myself. The footstool isn't finished in this picture. I was lucky to get the chair cover done without hurting anyone, including myself. If anyone wants to see it, I would be happy to show it off. It was a lot of work and I really like it. It was a gift to Frank from last Christmas, but he knew I would take a while to get the material sewn together, so he was patient.


We love our new couches, Thanks Becky!!!

The kids got to play with Paca, Frank's dad. He even got down on the floor to play. I think he enjoys finally having a grandson after three granddaughters. He loves and adores them all.

Daniel is still asking for his Paca, Meme and Aunt Beth, even though they have been gone over a week.

He dressed up as a cowboy for them while they were here, but I couldn't get a better shot. I thought this was pretty funny anyway.

When Abby was off track at the beginning of the month, we hiked up Ensign Peak. Just me and the two kids. Some lady commented how amazing it was to have a little hiker like that up there. I didn't remember how steep it is for kids until I was half way up the big hill or small mountain, which ever it is. I ended up carrying Daniel half way up and halft way down.

This is at the top of Ensign Peak.

This is a great video of Frank having a fun moment of toughness cutting a lemon in the air. He thought it was too boring to just cut it on the counter.


If ever you have wondered how much energy kids have, this should answer it.

Our kids found a new purpose for a camping air matress.
