This shows the difference in Keaton and Kelsey. Keaton is enjoying decorating by throwing his tree together and Kelsey is taking great pains to make hers perfect.

Today's a typical Saturday. Seth is remodeling the t.v. area so we can put in a bigger screen t.v. Keaton is the puzzle master. He's really enjoying some down time, while waiting for his date. Kelsey is fixing her hair getting ready for her Saddie Hawkins date and I am studying my Sunday School lesson. What a peaceful day!

Gabe and Christy bought us a new dog. Why, I'll never know as we already have a dog but he sure is cute and we are getting attached to him. His name is Buster.

We just went on a nine day trip to New York etc. We went on the train to Nauvoo and this was the highlight of the trip. We went to the temple, Cathage jail, horse and wagon ride to see all the old pioneer homes and then took in a play that night. It was a priceless day. Next on to Chicago and the Sears towers then the next day to Palmyra New York. This was also a treasured day. We saw the two houses that Joseph Smith grew up in and the sacred grove where he saw God the father and his son Jesus Christ. It was a glorious place. We saw the hill Cumorah and I was surprised at how steep it is. Then we went to Niagra Falls. Next day on the train we encountered a group of people that SMELLED! Truly I almost died. I enjoyed the lush foliage and red leaves on the drive. We got in New York and were fortunate to not have any rain even though it was cold and cloudy. We spent two days on the bus tours and seeing all the sights. We flew home and truly there's no place like home!!!!

Last week was homecoming and Kelsey got third attendant to the queen and Keaton was her escort.

We had a surprise visit from Gabe and his family Sunday. On Labor day we all decided to go up to Elbow canyon and cook Dutch oven potatoes, bacon, eggs and some juice. Then we rode the four wheelers up to the medow. I enjoyed the glories of nature more than I can express. It was such a fun little outing.

Keaton and Kelsley had some serious fun shooting guns yesterday.
