I LOVE AUTUMN!

We have had a busy summer and are enjoying the fresh, crisp air that hopefully will bring a fresh breath of air! We have had a few family birthdays this month and are preparing for a shower for Chelsi, so there are lots of fun activities yet to come. This is a fun time of year! I just went up to Deer Valley recently to a multi-million dollar home with our R.S Women. We go there every other year to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature together. I had so much fun and relaxation. We build new and better friendships and we went for a nature walk...of coarse not a hike! But I was amazed that I was able to keep up with my friends:) It was so enjoyable, however I did get a migraine which was a huge bummer, but my friend Deanna offered to zone me and it made a world of difference! I was able to rest for a few hours and was up and acting full of life and crazy! We soaked in the hot tub, played games and laughed all evening. I pretty much starved to death. No one brought hardly any vegetables and the salads had stuff on them that I couldnt eat while on my cleanse, but I brought a few things and there were yummy tomatoes! I absolutely crave them now! I have lost 25 lbs/2 pant sizes. I am almost done cleansing! It has been 3 months! Now that my body is pretty well cleansed for now, I need to continue eating healthy and exercising! I still need to cleanse but I have a great start and am done for now. I will continue with massages and things like that.
I put together a fun little sample of my blessings of Autumn. I wanted to do more but the program only allowed me 5 pages. Just click play and a new window will open to download the scrapbook. Then click in the bottom right hand corner of the scrapbook to turn the pages.

Bob and Me...Our new lifestyle!

ok, so Bob finally got his motorcycle! Thanks to Matt!...thanks Matt;)

Its an older bike but its in great shape! Well at least I thought it was. I have been driving to SLC 2x a week for a few months now and it has really put a strain on our budget. Not only the gas, and food but the treatments. I have been going to Lighthouse...Body and Health Makeover on 39th. I have been doing a strict diet with a lot of supplements, cleansing, decompression on my neck and lower back and buying a lot of whole foods. Anyway I finally realized to save gas, why not have Bob take me on the bike! Yeah I know, sounds crazy and who thought I would ever consider that! But times are tough and I'm getting tougher too. So off we went. Little did I know that Bob really didnt think it would make it! It was spitting, cutting out and finally smoking all the way! But we made it and Bob realized the oil was really bad so he took it a little farther to Checker Auto and did a very messy oil change. That's all it needed! It was a lot more relaxing going home but it was so cold! We are starting to go everywhere possible now. I just need a helmet. I was wearing a bike helmet so I'm sure I looked pretty silly. oh well! We went to Sam's club and got a bunch of stuff and on the way out Bob stopped and said, "oh crap...we are on the bike!" Well we were ingenious and stuffed everything in the little crate and my purse and I just held on to what I could. lol

Getting old and feeble is so much fun! hahaha

Family GeT-aWaY!

Our family vacation to the condo...Park City...We had a wonderful time! There were a couple of complications but through it all we learned how wonderful our kids are! We become stronger and closer through our trials. Our strong bond and love and faith are strengthened. We are reminded of who we must lean on for that strength and growth.
The kids had a wonderful time as well. They all got along pretty well and enjoyed the swimming most of all. I have some other pics somewhere that I still need to locate.
This is Kasey preparing for his stay at the hospital with Chelsi's emergency which we of coarse had no idea what was around the corner!
It rains pretty hard one evening and the kids were enthralled. We dared them to go out in the rain and Landon's eyes were huge with wonder..."are you nuts?!" After much encouragement they got up the courage to run out, touch the balcony and run back. They had a lot of laughs and excitement over that!
The movie/toy room. The kids enjoyed playing games and watching movies together. They were so inventive and cute!

STICKERS! gotta luv em! After awhile they started to put them on their faces. These two are fast friends! so sweet!
