Lighting of Downtown

Well November went by fast. Our Thanksgivings were very nice. We had
dinner at my Mom and Step-Dads and then had a second one the day after
with my Dad. He spent all week with us so we were busy all week.

Last night we went to the Lighting of downtown Ogden and caught the
parade and fireworks. We will go see the village houses later this
week.

Christmas is here!

Tradition states that the tree goes up after Thanksgiving so tonight
we set up the tree. It has officially begun.

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Halloween Craziness

Our Ward had a Halloween party a few days before and this is about the first time in a few years that I have dressed up and this was the only thing I was going to do. It was all for you Julia!
On Halloween day we went down the visit Uncle Mike and Aunt Cindi and picked up Uncle Wes along the way. We had to make a stop at Olan Mills to get pictures with all the grand kids (the Dempsey side) and so while we were there Uncle Wes took Julia and Connor on a merri-go-round ride. Too cute and funny!


Trick or Treating this year was awesome. We got out early and the kids are all old enough were we just had to go walk while they ran from house to house as fast as they could. We went much farther then we have the last couple years so by the end they were wiped out and we were so glad.
We came back to Grandma Cole's house and the kids enjoyed the fruits of their labors and we pigged out. This is what my Mom's house looked like after we decorated and got the Spook on!


And this is why we had to pick up Uncle Wes. He was the Vampire in the casket on my Mom's front lawn. CREEPY!!!

Cory and Mari's Blessed Day

On Halloween day, of all days, Cory and Mari got sealed for all eternity in the Bountiful Temple. Steve and I were happy that they invited us there to be a part of it. Thanks Cory and Mari and Congrats!!!
Mari and her oldest Spencer
Cory, Spencer and Zachy
The whole family with Spencer up to his usual tricks.

An Enchanted Night

I am not sure that you can count this as their first date but they were so cute together. The Randall's in our ward were taking their family to the Treehouse (Ogden - The Junction) for their Halloween Enchanted Forrest. They had two extra tickets and so I called around and got a hot date for Connor - Donya.
At the start Alice introduces herself and the whole reason that they kids are here. To help Little Bo Peep find her missing sheep and help any other fairy tail creatures along the way.
This is Pecos Bill mesmerizing Connor with his story of making valley's and lassoing with a snake.Donya got up close and personal here with the Lion (The mouse and the lion tale).
And finally they heard the lovely tale of the three little pigs (with just one little pig this time). It was a fun night and the kids enjoyed it. Next year this will be a must.

Rod Widner - In Memoriam



On October 9th a good friend of mine (from Northrop Grumman) passed away from A.L.S and for his memorial they put daisy's on what was one of his greatest treasures, a John Deere Tractor. He was a great man and a great softball coach. He will be greatly missed. Here are some pics that I took with my phone.
