Cool scripture reading day.  I finished reading the Book of Mormon (it took me 11 months) and as a family we finished reading the New Testament (it took us 3 years).

The girls are awesome.  Way fun to watch them set up the tree and put up the Cmas decorations.  Cam made a great NOEL banner that looks great next to the tree.

Good day with Mason.  Bright and early soccer game gave me quality time to hang out with him.  Also - playing ping pong with him was awesome.


I love that my dad plays along to my silly antics.

Lots of playing with the Kynastons crammed into today - bowling, a movie, and a sleepover for some.  Fun, I know.

Good stuff today -
1.  Seeing a woodpecker on our hike minutes after saying I would like to see a cool bird. 
2.  Seeing big horn sheep on the way out of AF canyon.  I've always wanted to see some up there and really didn't believe they were there until now. 
3.  Putting together a little package for K and T with Elf and recipe and stuff for caramel popcorn.
4.  The day wrapped up with the kids and me dancing in the car to "your lips are moving" and Mason pointing out the deer to stop for on the side of the road who looked both ways before crossing the street after we stopped.

What a fabulous Sunday.  It was D's bday, Kenz and Tanner came down, we all enjoyed sacrament meeting together, we played games and watched a movie, and we ate yummy food in South Jordan.

Ry had a choir concert tonight.  I quite enjoyed it.  When I mentioned to her that I quite enjoyed it she informed me she didn't really because she doesn't like singing.  That happens.

Primary program is the best.  Cam's testimony was awesome - very sincere.  And I love Primary songs.  We followed up with tithing settlement in the evening.  What a good Sunday feeling the Spirit.

Why does cabin time have to go so quickly when we wait all year for it?  How I love being with Tara, Pats, and Mary.  Seriously, those girls are my forever friends.  I love that I am still making memories with them 22 years after our awesome Snow memories.

Spontaneous day off for D meant an awesome afternoon for me.  We drove up to the Uintas and snow hiked Bald Mountain.  We didn't make it all the way to the top but made it far enough to see some amazing views.  D is the best trailblazer.  It was so pretty in the Uintas and it looked like Christmas.  Fun, I know.

Awesome Sunday evening at the Murphys.  It was just like old times.  Best part - Kenzie and Tanner met us there.  Two funnies from the night - "Yea, they're all stars."  And, "Zimbabwe is a country you know."

I keep thinking about how fun it was for me to go the the BYU volleyball game last night.  The rest of the gang seemed OK about it too.  I do like volleyball.

I really needed this listen this morning - Marvin J Ashton, BYU Speech, November 1992.

I'm surprised at how I don't mind running in the cold weather.  Especially when I listen to talks that felt like they were directed to me and when I see the mountains surrounded by clouds.

My AF softball black pants are the most comfy pants ever.  How I love wearing them.

Went hiking this morning on the school house springs trail above Alpine.  We visited the first hamongog.  What a cool word - Hamongog.  Awesome first time visit for me.  It's so cool going somewhere for the first time.  Looking out over the valley looked like a painting with yellow trees dotting the landscape.  Also the clouds were cool and the sky was blue for a great autumn hiking day.  As I was noticing the clouds, a leaf floated down.  Sigh.

Had such a good feeling walking with the girls to church this morning.
