Saturday is a Special day.......

Is this the cutest grandson ever?? I think so!



I love Saturdays......partly because it is my day off [and I LOVE days off] and partly because it is fall and football. Now I don't necessarily stay glued to the TV watching the game, but I love football season. I love everyone talking about football. I love that Jarren has some friends downstairs and the and Dad are watching BYU play UCLA [BYU is ahead, by the way]. I got pizza and candy and guacamole and chips and the sounds that come up from the basement are fun to listen to. I can figure out what's going on in the game by the sounds.
I also love this house. I love the fact that we can have gatherings here comfortably. You can tell I am in a grateful mood:) It is beautiful weather outside and life is good.
I am going to post some pictures of our Island Park trip....it was so much fun....I think the good feelings from that trip are still lingering.
1) Jarren chasing Fisher. Mike would throw the ball into the lake and Fisher would run/jump to retrieve it. It was so fun to watch that Jarren, Justin, then Alan started jumping in, too. Not sure how Fisher liked the competition, but, as you can see, he held his own.




2) Justin got a 8 1/2 for his form. Fisher's legs would shoot out, but I think Justin feared a belly flop.







3) Jarren and Stephanie got up early one morning to capture the
sunrise on the lake......beautiful!

















What an awesome bunch of tourists we are. We loved our day in Yellowstone Park. We saw Ol Faithful, beautiful waterfalls and climbed way too many steps.....I thought I would die!
We are so indebted to our hosts, Ian and LaChelle Layton who arranged with their family a whole year ahead of time for us to stay at this cabin in Island Park......they are officially part of the Bird Flock from now on!! [someone has to keep dad in line, right LaChelle?]










The "Love Birds" spent one whole evening making journals and picture frames for each other.
aaaaaaahhhhh.....sweet!


The family.......what a wonderful
vacation. We should do it again!

Hey, hope you had a HAPPY HAPPY yesterday! I had every intention of calling and having all of us sing a good chorus of "Happy Birthday to YOU", but it was a super crazy day and we weren't so successful, but we wanted you to know that we were thinking of you and hope you had a great one!
