Ty's Best Friend Hanna Visits

My friend from Denmark - Hanna - came to visit us in October and we had a lot of fun with her here. Ty instantly fell in love with her and still talks about her and thinks that people we see with blond hair is her. We took her for a little ride in the mountains to show her all the gorgeous scenery.
Of course my picture are out of order, so these pictures are from Bridal Veil Falls that we actually saw at the very end of our little trip.
We started driving up Emigration Canyon and just drove around back in the mountainous areas, drove through Heber City...
...drove down through American Fork Canyon and then home.
The river right next to Bridal Veil Falls.
We stopped by Bridal Veil Falls on the way back.
Of course we had to stop at the cute retro ice cream shop in Heber City, where we went with my dad a while back.
Mmmm, yummy ice cream and shakes.
Ty enjoying his ice cream for a second and then he wanted the shake Laney got....
Beautiful view....but see that cloud of smog in the background between the mountains? Yes, that's the smog over the Salt Lake valley!!! Yummy, let's go back and breathe it a little more.

Hanna was very happy to be here!!! :D
Gorgeous views up in the mountains.

St. George

In October we went down to St. George for the weekend to go to little Matthew Nash's baby blessing. It was great to see everybody down there in the warm south and enjoy the beautiful weather. We left our long sleeve shirt and pant and took shorts and t-shirts instead.
Chad took us to Red Cliffs and we loved the beautiful scenery. Joel found a lizard that Ty was brave enough to hold.

Ben lost his body....except for his head and arm!!
Cute little Matthew

The Canyons in September

One of the last days in September we drove up the Little Cottonwood Canyon and Big Cottonwood Canyon to see the beautiful fall leaves and the pretty mountains. We stopped at 2 waterfalls, one in each canyon. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the gorgeous views.
Ty excited about the beautiful fall leaves
Coming back from one of the waterfalls you can walk across this log to get to the other side.
We stopped at one of the ski resorts because Ty wanted to get out and walk in the snow.
Evey time I asked Ty to turn around so I could take a picture of him, he would turn around and dance and sing some silly song...
Beautiful Laney

Crazy kids

Church Ball


Ben played basketball at the church last night and fell on somebody, twisted his ankle, heard his ankle *POP* and then he couldn't walk on it. He came hobbling home and put ice on it but this morning it still hurt so we took him to the doctor. He has a fractured fibula and got a cast on for the next 4 weeks. He will get it off just in time to play volleyball with his family for thanksgiving...haha
Maybe it's time to stop playing basketball at the church....a couple of months ago he came home with a black eye....lol

Guldkorn

Ty gave me a bread box for my birthday and when I opened it he was very excited and said...."It's a toast-putter-in." Later he heard it was called something else and so when I said goodnight to him I told him thanks for the toast-putter-in and he said..."No!! it's called a....a....toast holder". And we don't even eat toast very much.

Yesterday we took Laney to school and as we pulled out of the parking spot to take Ty to school, Ty told me, "Mom, I saw an old lady and she didn't even have a walking stick or a wheelchair."

We were eating lunch and Laney said to me, "Mom, I know where we get jelly from. From jellyfish!"
