There is More

Colie's fabulous house. The patio they are on belong to the '5 guys' and the top two balconies belong to the girls. She has a sweet deal there. (dig the 'U' flag)
In her living room. Look at all that light! They had just painted and it looked great. They have grand ideas for decorating....now if they just had more money!
Colie and Gerry. This lady is a character. We are soooo glad we got to meet her. Nicole lights up that place and they all love her. It's no wonder really, who doesn't?
These guys had fun dissecting the BYU game. Ryan actually flew in JUST for the game! Jerry is doing as well as can be expected. I'm glad we got to visit.
At our Sunday dinner. It's fun to see my mom interact with this crew. It's love/love across the board.
Steve-o called. Brauer LOVES Steve-o. I just had to get a photo of the two having a good chat. Doesn't Brauer look like he is really into this conversation? He actually wanted to get away from all the chatter inside the house so he could hear better!
I was trying to get a photo of Zane. He kept escaping. Finally Lara grabs him and holds on...Zane pretends to be mad. Then he admits..."I like it when my Mom holds me tight!"
Bedtime: "Indian Bob"
Jordan River Temple with my Mom and Suzanne....Suzanne took the photo and then said, "Natalie would tell me I have too much sidewalk in the picture!" .....hey, she really listened to your photo lesson Natalie.....


So it's fun not to have your laptop with you and make posts as you go because you come home and post and then get to relive it all over again!
We went to Farmington (no pictures) and spent a couple of nights with my Mom. She is amazing. I love her to bits of course. We got our pedicures at the college. We took her to dinner. "Mom, we want to take you to dinner, where do you want to go?" "Red Lobster!" she replies without a moments hesitation. We ordered all you can eat shrimp and had to roll ourselves home! Tom and I took a walk around my childhood neighborhood...even walked past Aunt Mary Jo's old home where we were married! My only regret is that we didn't get to visit Scott/Lynise.
Next we drove up to Utah (with Mom). Lots of action there. Saw BYU play horribly :). Stayed at Lara's and loved our time with the kids. Lara invited us all for Sunday dinner and Colie brought friends to join in. Great fun (thanks Lara!). Some time with Suzanne/Jerry and my Mom. Had a nice FHE at Suzanne's and Steve and Renee/ Becca/Janine joined in. Temple. Visited the Heber House...which is in desperate need of TLC, but luckily we have hired on a property manager, so things are happening there. Tom and Larry recorded. Talk about cramming a month of activites in 4 days!!!
On our way out of town, we stopped at the Greens so Tom could record one more morning. Robyn and I took a bike ride up to Bridal Veil Falls and beyond.
I'll tell you what. There is nothing more beautiful than a crisp fall day in Utah. If only every month could be like September!

I like how Zane is looking at Pop in the Indian Bob picture. Funny. I also love the pic with all the kids and Grandma. Oh and it's good to see Colie's apartment. I've never seen it before. :)

You guys are professional. It takes talent to fit so much in & so well. Thanks for coming to visit!
