Go Broncos!







Last Sunday, Nov. 8th we flew to Denver and met Dave and Jim at the airport. We rented a car and drove to the Arvada side of Denver. We had some extra time and were able to stop by the cemetery to see the graves for Margaret and Loyal. We drove by the 4 houses Carl lived in growing up and the 2 houses our family lived in Arvada. In the afternoon we went to Bob and Sandra's house and had a dinner fixed by Sandra and Sue. Nick and Shannon had driven down from school in Greeley. The cousin picture is Jim, Dave, Shannon, Nick and Chris. On Monday morning we stopped bu a local Walmart for Bronco items. All four of us wore Bronco shirts that day. We drove to Central City and had pizza for lunch at Bojoes in Idaho Springs and an early dinner at Casa Banita before the game. Our seats were at the fifty yard line and the next to the highest row in the stadium of about 76,000 people that night. Of course, I loved the spetacular opening ceremonies and the cheer leaders. Lots of beer! Not for us, but about everybody else it seemed. It wasn't Carl's favorite game, but great to be there!

Happy Halloween







"Happy Halloween" and "Happy October Birthdays" to Tanner, Alicia, and Bridger (Bridger for today.) When Dan, Jonna, and Brighton were here visiting we did the haunted gingerbread houses with Mike, Kristen, Creighton and Karac. Thanks to Kathryn for the idea. The other pictures were at the Hee Haw Halloween Farm. We also saw them drop huge pumpkins (400 pounds plus) from the top of a huge crane onto a car. Have you ever seen that before?

Busy Friday






David and Alicia Walquist got married last Friday morning at 11:00am in the Salt Lake Temple and we hosted the wedding lunch at our house in the aftenoon. We had 60+ people. On Thursday Carl and I moved in 7 of the big tables and 60 chairs through the basement window. Brenda's sister helped with the tables decorations and KayLynn Simms organized the food. We had about 13 little kids besides. So nice to have the big downstairs! It was really nice. Thanks to Mike for helping to get all the tables and chairs returned!

Davis County Fair 5K


Carl, Kevin and I ran the Davis County Fair 5K in August and I wasn't going to say anything and then the picture came out in the Clipper (Davis County newspaper) that a lot of people in the ward take and they showed the picture in Relief Society! The nice part was a little prize. 1st prize people got $100 gift certificates from Target, $75 for second and $50 for 3rd.
David Walquist's wedding is next week and we are going to have the wedding lunch at our house as they are getting married in Salt Lake.
Hope you had a fun Labor Day weekend!

Little Utah hike





Last Friday, Aug. 28th, we took a little hike to Secret Lake with our neighbors, Alicia and Nels Tims. It is past Alta and in Albion Valley. Anyway, we saw these 3 moose bulls bigger than any we saw in Alaska! Last night was our local book group meeting. It is sponsored by the Relief Society, but includes local nighborhood ladies too. Last night Sylvia, Alicia and I did the meal and there were 18 people. I did the review. Some of the ladies asked me for the dressing recipe for the salad! Amazing.
