Out in the country

Last night we chaperoned a stake youth activity. It was at a farm near Mount Airy. The weather and scenery were beautiful. We felt right at home with the hayride, cows, tractors and sunset. Add in the NC fall leaves, perfect weather and barbecue and it was pure bliss!

Yes, the Pearl is wearing a bib because she is a drooling machine!

Sadie had so much fun with her little friend Carson.

Sadie & Grandpa

Sadie has so much fun with her Grandpa! They love to read books, play the piano, make animal sounds, have piggy back rides... "It's always fun for everyone when Grandpa comes!"

Weddings

So, it has been awhile since our AZ trip and I am finally getting around to posting pictures from the weddings... the very reason that we went. Jordan & Rachel were married on Aug 27th, Isaac & Julie were married on Sept 3rd and Jordan & Rachel's reception was on Sept 12th. It was a wedding whirlwind!

Here are the newlyweds:
