It's been a while...

We've been busy around here and I just haven't felt like up-dating for a while. School is in full swing. Mathan has had a lot of work out of town. I've started up at the library again. Young Women's, General Conference, Stake Conference. May, Ellen, Thomas, Lilly. Yeah, we've been busy! Here are some pictures to make it a little more interesting...



 The drive to Utah is long but you can't deny that it's beautiful!
 We went up to Provo to visit Ben and Anna and their families. Amy took us to this great museum at BYU.
 Isn't it funny that the kids are all "ho-hum"? They're bears! Come on!
 This elephant was massive. Thanks for taking us Amy!
 We got to go to Mathan's mission reunion while we were there.
 It was fun  for  me to put some faces to the mission stories. The reunion included all of the mission presidents in the history of the Ukraine mission and we got to hear the first president and the latest president speak. It was really neat to hear them talk about the dedication of the land for missionary work and then hear about the temple dedication.
 We took a drive between conference sessions to look at the fall colors. It was so gorgeous, but not as pretty as baby Lilly! I sure love this baby girl.

 The people I love most. Isn't Ellen's retro dress awesome?
Mathan and Eva are pleased to announce that they have been married for seven years and are more in love than ever...and Eva's hair is more fluffy than ever.
 Love this picture! It was so wonderful to visit these people. We miss you!
 Our cabbage patch doll of a niece. Baby Hannah is so sweet.
 My girls about to fall in the fountain. Thankfully it was only a couple of inches deep.
 This one cracks me up. Isaac with his big cap. He is just an all around great kid.
 This park was so pretty and well kept. The leaves were turning but it was still perfect weather. Thanks so much for having us to stay, Ben and Amy! It was wonderful to see you and to hear Ben sing at conference!

East, West, Home's Best!
