Happy Halloween

Halloween was great this year.  The Utley girls were all decked out in their designer costumes and then our little Ryder with his tigger suit.  Fun at the Knight house.

Happy Day!

                                                 
Another family sealing for eternity.  What a great day to see Jenny, Derek and Ryder sealed in the Draper temple.  I wonder how many families get to be in the temple with their entire family at the same time.  It was exciting to be part of that great experience and to feel the eternal power of love.

Connie's Birthday Cabin Trip

We went to the cabin for Connie's birthday this year and the entire family was able to be there.  Our little Ryder is growing up so fast and is a joy to have part of our family.  We took a ride on the ATV's and saw 6, yes, 6 moose and a bunch of deer.  Of the many years we've been going to the cabin this is the first time we have seen 6 moose.

Ryder's Big Day

Ryder had his blessing day yesterday.  He was on his best behavior, no crying, no pucking, no messy diaper... all of that came after.  Derek did great as he blessed the little guy.

The Grunt

Jesse shows up at the house in a vehicle that he borrowed from a guy in his bishopric... It looks like a VW on steroids but it was a fun ride.  Jesse was ready to get it back to the guy because he said everyone would stare or take a picture or want to know about it and he spent too much time explaining to people about it... it didn't even get him a date.  (you'd think it would be a babe magnet).

Washington... the Evergreen State

Connie and I took a short vacation to Washington to visit the young Utley's.  We always enjoy Washington and our visits and this time was no exception.  We even got snow... 

The Great Wolf Lodge / water park

We went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound Washington once again to enjoy the water park.  Reese was the brave one taking in every water activity at the park, Charley on the other hand wanted to spend her time in the hot tub, and Evb?... you decide.
