Fall in Virginia

I love the fall, but unfortunately it doesn't like me. Allergies! Nevertheless we braved all the pollen and ventured to Charlottesville, VA and went to Carter Mountain to a large orchard and went apple picking. We picked fuji and pink ladies and are they ever good.

Jinhee taught them to be very picky on the apples they picked, so they got great apples. Here are the kids enjoying the tree picking.

Cute lil punkins!

We finished off the day with homemade apple donuts and apple cider. YUM. What a good way to spend a cool fall afternoon. Thanks kids.

Nice Fall Day

It was so nice here that we decided to go 4-wheeling with the Bagleys up American Fork Canyon to enjoy the fall colors. The aspens were magnificent! Lots of gold everywhere. Here is Janice and me on our toy.

Noelle's family

I know most of you have heard by now, that Noelle's husband, Adam, has had a recurrence of testicle cancer. He has had 2 successful surgeries to remove tumors and has recovered nicely from both, but starts brutal chemotherapy October 18 through Dec 24. Thanks for all your prayers, fasting and concerns.

Here is a pic of Noelle's family the day after Adam's lung surgery. Brynnley was sure happy to see Daddy again.


About a week after his second surgery, Adam felt good enough to get outside for a few hours, so both grandmas and they went to a pumpkin patch in Greenbluff and picked the largest pumpkins we could find...133 lbs worth between 3 pumpkins!
Here they all are in the pumpkin patch, and Brynnley sitting on her prize pumpkin.

Vinyl, vinyl, vinyl

I have been cutting vinyl lately and here a few of the Halloween items I have done for gifts. This sparkly orange vinyl is soooooooooo fun.
