Chris and Jenny's

We are at Chris and Jenny's in Pasadena this weekend enjoying the twins.  They are adorable!!

Train Park

It was a beautiful day today and we spent it with Emmet, Emery and Kira.  Started out by mowing Kira's lawn, getting bagels, watching the BYU game (Emmet for the first time was really into it), and then went to Scottsdale to the train park.

Emery's having fun; not sure about Kira.

Pumpkin Patch

We drove down to Willcox, AZ with Kira and the grandkids on Friday evening and went to the local pumpkin patch early Saturday morning.  The kids loved picking their own pumpkins, picking vegetables, and the corn maze.  Fun day!!

Hawaii

Spent a terrific week with Ken's two sisters and their husbands on Maui.  Lots of snorkeling and relaxing.

Glacier National Park

We took a quick trip to Montana and visited Glacier National Park. This has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.  The mountains are rugged and there are rivers, lakes, and waterfalls everywhere you look.  We flew into Spokane and drove there so we also got to see Coeur de Alene, Idaho and even made a short loop into Canada on the way back to Spokane.

Number 46

This is the 46th scorpion we have killed so far this year.  This one I found on the floor in our den about four feet from where I was reading.  This is what it looked like under a black light.  Most of the scorpions I have found are out back--I go out hunting every night with a hammer.

Saturday Morning

Kira had to attend traffic school yesterday so Kathy and I got to spend the morning with Emmet and Emery.  Emery said that her mom had to go to school to learn how to run red lights.  We thought we would spend the morning swimming--it had been 110 degrees earlier in the week, but a cold front went through yesterday and it wasn't even 90.  That's still pretty warm, but it actually felt chilly.  Only in AZ.

Emmet practicing his diving.

Emery showing off.

I love her smile.  She is a lot of fun.
