Autumn time

We have been so blessed with a mild and pleasant autumn in Utah County. Its just now starting to feel jacket-worthy outside, and the changing leaves in the mountains have been beautiful. Here are this week's autumn happenings.


Savanna didn't pass the eye exam at Lindon Elementary this year and I was required by the school nurse to get her a professional eye exam to see if she needed corrective lenses. She was -.5 in one eye and -1.0 in the other, barely nearsighted, but we went ahead and got her the glasses. She picked the lenses herself, and she looks very cute! The same week we took her in for an orthodontic consultation. Her smile is nice, but her bottom teeth are really crooked. Come to find out she has crowding on both top and bottom and two of her teeth are 90 degrees turned the wrong way. She has all her permanent teeth already so the Orthodontist recommended we start the process of getting her braces. Lucky Savanna. Interestingly enough, she wanted the braces but not the glasses.




We enjoyed a drive up the mountains to see the changing leaves on Sunday, and Mondy had family night at South Fork. It was so pleasant my mom and I decided to go back up the next day and hike down the river from South Fork trail head. It was a very nice morning and a beatuiful hike! I'm so glad we took the time to enjoy it, for two days later it snowed in the mountains.



Jared took his cub scouts to a Fire Department Safety Fair/Demonstration and took Weston with him. They had a lot of fun learning about fires and what fire fighters do, and there was free cotton candy and weston ate an entire bag himself! Weston brought that red hat home and filled it full of water in the bathroom and left it there, and I not knowing it was full of water, did my rounds to pick up the house today and dumped the water all over the place. You got me Weston.



Fiora has a lot of fun at her Activity Day functions. They went to the BYU Art museum and had a real actual tour of the art there. This past week they went to Sarah Allred's and she taught them how to make bread. Sarah (pictured) has been a good friend for me here, she lives just a few houses away and runs with me in the morning when its good weather, and sometimes I get to watch her babies while she runs errands. I'm grateful for her, and all the good people and good leaders and good friends around here!
