Weekend with Tawni and the Piggott's

Tawni and Ryan came up for the weekend so that they could get their engagement pictures taken by Brady Campbell. It definately was worth it. The weather was perfect for a fall day and the leaves are beautiful. Once again Brady outdid himself. If you want to see how awesome they turned out you can go to bradycampbellphotography.com then enter the site. At the bottom of the page, click on clients. The password is: rawni. Kind of like bennifer or brangelina. Ryan and Tawni brought Russ and Kathy (Ryan's parents) with them this time. It was so great to have them here. On Friday, Ryan, Russ and Kathy went golfing with Steve at the Country club. Afterwards, we all went to Tomato Street for dinner, then came back to the house and played cards with Steve and Marilyn. It was a lot of fun. Anyway, this trip also entailed a bike ride around Hayden Lake for the guys. It was a great day for a ride. There wasn't even a bike accident. While the guys were out riding the girls went shopping, which sounds like much more fun to me. Afterwards they met us downtown at Red Robin for another meal and we walked around the boardwalk and the Resort downtown. What a fun weekend.! This is Russ, Ryan, Tyler and Alan before the ride.
I love the way the trees look right now. Tawni and Ryan still aren't tired of taking pictures so we took a few more.

Sunday in Paradise

On Sunday morning we all went to sacrament and then came back to the house so everyone could pack up to leave. It was so beautiful outside that we got a little distracted and had to go see the beautiful fall weather. It was a perfect Fall day.
You never know.....it could be snowing in two days, so we will take the sun now.
Here are the Piggotts and the Griffitts. We had such a great weekend with them all and hope they will make the trip up again soon....maybe they will fly next time. Sitting in a car for 9 hours isn't very fun.

Happy family!

Trip to Utah and The RACE!

On Friday, Alan and I were able to fly down to Utah to see the family. We first went to Wellsville to see Tawni and Ryan. When we got into town, Ryan took Alan on a bike ride and then we all went out to dinner with Ryan's parents, Russ and Kathy. Alan and I spent the night with Tawni. It was so fun to be there. By the end of the weekend we were able to stay one night at each kids house. Saturday morning Alan was able to participate in his first Duathalon with Ryan. Ryan had to run 2 miles, then Alan biked 12 miles and then Ryan had to run 2 more miles. The best part was that they won first place in the team division. It was so fun to see them do so well. Ryan's dad was also on a team with Ryan's brother in law, Kolby. They did really well also. What a fun event! This picture looks funny, but they are actually stretching before the race.

The Racers!

Woo Hoo! Hot Chocolate to the winners!!! What more can you ask for. We were so proud of Alan and Ryan. Especially since this was Alan's first race ever.

Playing!

Here is Aunt Jessie reading to Alexis and Atlas.
Brad and Jessie! The view from Brad and Jessie's apartment. Alan and I and Tawni and Ryan were able to spend the night at Brad and Jessie's apartment on Saturday night. It is small but very cute! Thanks for letting us stay guys!
Alan found a snake that came from across the street from Brent and Meagan's house. This is a picture of the kids after they brought the snake back to the trees. Poppi was trying to teach the kids about looking before you cross the street. This is just so dang cute. Tallest to shortest. All holding hands with Poppi!

Saturday at the Zastrow's and DeMotte's

After Alan and I left Wellsville we went down to Springville. We made it in time for the guys to watch football. This is a cute pic of Mike and Carter. Atlas with Uncle Ryan and Uncle Brad.

Emy's Blessing Day!

Emy wasn't too happy in this picture, but the dress sure looked cute. I was able to find a dress that all the grand daughters can use on their blessing day.
Tawni and Ryan were able to spend Saturday and Sunday with us. Mike and Brittany were there for the blessing. We were so happy to have them there. Here they are "practicing" what it would be like to have a baby.

We are so happy that Mike and the kids live right next door. This is such a cute picture.
The Family!!!
