Birthday Schnike

Monday was CJ's birthday and this is what happened....

Jamie enlisted Charina in a plan to surprise CJ for her birthday and then they talked me into flying over. It was well worth the trip because I got to see my daughters and all my granddaughters!!

What a happy day!! Thanks for being so fun to surprise CJ and thanks Jamie and Charina for taking the time to go to Monroe!!! Love you guys!

Fantastic Fall Foilage Follies

On Saturday between Conference sessions (while maybe a little longer than "between") we headed to the hills cause all week long the aspens were calling to us. We could see them sprinkled on the mountains like glittering ornaments and we just had to see them up close and personal. Here's a few pics from our outing.

Making it rain "gold"



A re-creation of a favorite pic.

We certainly found ourselves in awe and grateful for our beeuooteeful world.

Homecoming Dance

The Homecoming Queen was looking very bright in her orange dress. Who know's the ankle brace look might catch on in some fashion circles.



Josh Burton (a senior, no really) is Krista's date for the evening. He is astonished!!!


And Krista is good to the core, as usual. They were off to dinner and then on to their own "mormon" dance. However, Krista does have to turn up at the school dance for a while to tend to her "duties." Check in tomorrow for how those all went.

Good News Bad News

And the winner is:

Dad enjoyed his time on the field but was bummed he didn't get to ride in the golf cart but on the outside "HE LOOKED GOOD."

And the bad news is:

Krista was mobbed by her adoring fans when she returned to the stands and she sprained her ankle! This is quite distressing as Doherty's Cross Country team is ranked 2nd in the state. The girl who would replace Krista is 2 minutes slower which would totally take them out of contention so pray for some quick healing.

After the game (we lost....) I came home to a house full of about 50 people eating ice cream. It was such a fun night and tonight is the dance so that should just add to the great experience. But it's hard to top riding in a golf cart and prancing around the football field under the lights with you Dad in a tux and becoming HOMECOMING QUEEN!!!! Couldn't have happened to a better person!!! Way to go Krista!
