School halloween parades...

I got to go to the school and see the kids' costume parade.  Jacob came with me.  Thankfully I didn't have Zander because we waited over half an hour for it to even start!  There were some pretty cute costumes!  But of course Captain Hook and Tinkerbell were our favorites!  I couldn't get a picture that wasn't blurry!  But I tried!  Then when I took Jacob to school at noon, I stayed for his class to do their little parade through the classrooms.  They ended up in the library where we waited for them and then the teacher let them parade around there a few times.  It was cute.  Everytime Jacob, aka Peter Pan, would walk by, he would smile and just follow my camera until he passed by.  We thought they couldn't wear hats so sadly he and David don't have them on.  Oh well.  Then we all took pictures with our kindergarten littles and they went back to class!  I was glad I was able to be there.  I have to include the picture of a little boy from our ward.  He is Jacob's age but in the morning class.  He was dressed as Christoff from the movie Frozen and he had his little  moose Sven.  Also a picture of the little girl dressed like a cake!  Both were just too cute!  We saw many cute and interesting costumes this year!

 

Kong Kones...

One of our favorite things to do when people come to visit is take them to our Macey's grocery store for a Kong Kone.  It is delicious soft serve ice cream and very inexpensive!  There is a baby kone, a momma kone, and a daddy kone, then there is the KONG KONE.  It is HUGE!  Clif and Lindsay decided to get the biggest one and the girl making it was new and didn't make it as pretty or quite as tall as usual, but it was still huge.  I always get the baby kone because it is just the right size for me.  The first time I got a momma and it was too big!  We went for ice cream in the evening after the wedding luncheon and all the clean up.  There was another time we went with Amanda, Nate and the kids and she took this picture of Dave and Jacob and she called it "twinners". Very cute.  We love our Kong Kones!  If you ever come to visit, we will take you for one!

And they are off!

The luncheon was over and just like that they were off to Park City for an extended weekend!  Congratulations Amanda and Nate!  We love you!!

More wedding day pictures...

After a few more photos on the temple grounds, the new little family walked home to the luncheon in our yard.  We are only a couple of driveways away from the temple intersection so it was a short walk.  And they looked so cute!  By the time they walked down our gravel lane, the luncheon was about ready to go.  Everything looked so lovely!  April and my friend Christi Judd really made it look beautiful!  I could not have done any of this with out those two sweeties!  I owe them big! Amber Knudsen picked up our food for us at BYU catering.  We had chicken cordon bleu, mashed potatoes and green beans, salad and rolls.  All very yummy!  And reasonably priced too!  Randa was a sweetie too and helped serve the food.  I didn't mean for her to get stuck behind the table! There was a little chill in the air so we had baskets of blankets in case anyone wanted to use one.  They got used!  But the sun was shining and it really was a great day for an outdoor even, especially for so late in October! Not sure if I mentioned it before, but the original date they wanted to get married (Oct. 2nd) but we had to push it back because their sealing cancellation letters had not arrived...that day there was a terrible rain/hail storm that lasted all day!  Would have been terrible!  Guess I learned who is in charge and that I need to have more faith in HIS timing! Nate's parents brought the cake up from St. George.  My childhood friend lives there and makes cakes, she offered to do it for cost.  What a sweetheart!  Sweet Cakes by Karen if you are ever in the St. George area!  My cousin Chrissy did all the flowers and the little lanterns.  We borrowed most everything, just bought the food and rented a few long table cloths.  We were very happy with how it all turned out! Lilly was so cute how she signed the book to Amanda Mom, and Jacob wrote his name and then I love you way further down on the page.  PS I love Amanda's purple shoes!
