And he's off!

My "little" brother went into the MTC this week. For the last three weeks, we have been hanging out as much as possible, getting in all the fun we could have! We celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas with him all before he left. Sounds funny, but we had so much fun!! He wasn't the only one who got presents either! He got Teniah a little missionary teddy bear, it is so cute!

Tuesday he got set apart and he and my parents came by to say good bye. Sounds funny, but I could hardly look at him! I know he is where he needs to be, but he's my little brother, and I was going to miss him! He's the only brother I have! Those of you who know him, know that he is somewhat soft spoken, but he actually talks to me...surprising I know! We were having so much fun working together too! And that's been hard already, my muscles are gone! hehe So we were able to talk for a bit, I gave him a couple hugs, cried a few tears and he was on his way!

When he got his call, three months seemed like such a long time! But it sure went by fast. :0) Here's too hoping that the next two go by quickly too!

Fall or winter?

Today we drove up Cedar mountain to see the fall colors, like we do every fall. We drove up with Jim and Myrna, and we had really a good time. We got quite the surprise though, SNOW!



It was really weird to see snow and the trees still had leaves on them. Even with all the snow around, the fall leaves were still very beautiful.


Little Kierstin didn't get a chance to get out of the car, but as you can see, I don't think that she minded!! It really put me in the fall mood. Robert and I were both longing for our 'fall things', which includes, Baby Ruths, candy corns, hot coco and sweaters.
