This made me laugh! This was a leaf collection site near us, and you can see, if you focus in on the sign, people (including us) didn't follow directions very well!!! Happy Autumn!!

Anxious for the Holidays!
Hey everyone! This place has been kinda slow lately, but I'm glad people have been posting to keep it alive! We have had a very busy household since Grandma and Grandpa moved in. But we are very glad to have them here, and hope that have been able to find peace and comfort here. My kids think it's pretty cool to live with two sets of Grandparents, and to have another set only a few streets away, but they get confused at times wondering which Grandma and Grandpa we're talking about! I'm glad that they are able to have close relationships with almost all of thier grandparents!
Josh was offered a new position at Select Health, so we are happy for the raise that will accompany the new position and are continuting to stay too busy with our many jobs. I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving! We look forward to seeing anyone that will be in town for that- and we feel lucky that we get to see everyone who comes to visit Grandma and Grandpa!! So hopefully we'll get the chance to see all of you sometime in the near future. Anything new with anyone else? Hope you are all doing well!

In case you're interested . . .
This may not be the best place to do this, but since I'm not sure if I have everyone's email, I thought I would put it here. Don't know if you've heard about Pinching Your Pennies.com, but it's a site you can sign up with for free. I've been using them for quite some time with regards to groceries. They rate groceries at different stores and let you know if it is a Hot buy or not. I love having it come every week! Also, if you sign up for it, they send weekly deals from different stores, companies, etc. with alerts of sales and codes for extra savings. Just thought I'd share . . .

Well, it 's been a long time since I've written, so I thought I'd take a minute and update. Of course, Zachary is now on his mission. What a fun and hectic time we had getting him ready and off. He is now in the mission home. We hope you all are reading his letters and his blog to see how things are going. Keep him in your prayers!
Braden is in ninth grade now and thoroughly enjoying it. Taking several honors classes but seems to be keeping up fine. He has some wonderful teachers - young, challenging, and fun! He has started with the high school marching band, so his weeks have been full of practices, competitions, and, of course, parties! I'm grateful he is getting in with a good, solid group of friends as he goes into high school next year. This weekend he does a competition in Orem, with weather forecast of 40 degrees, rain, and snow. Ed and I skipped the last one, so we promised him we'd be there to this one : ( . So . . . We'll all be enjoying the 40's, snow, and rain! Umbrellas, blankets, and hot chocolate! They've gotten 2nd and 4th in their first two competitions!
Jonathan is still enjoying his job at the Blind Center as a Tech II in helping with computers and other adaptive equipment there. He is involved with institute, young adult activities, and activities through state blind organizations.
I'm on the PTA Board at at the middle school and in charge of Red Ribbon Week. A little different than grade school that I was involved with - when you're talking close to 1,000 students. Hard to come up with something effective when there is little money to be spent! But we've got some good things going that hopefully will have some impact for the very important topic of drug prevention. I'm also helping with the yearbook, which I helped with last year also. Very fun, taking candid pictures throughout the year and setting up pages.
Ed just got done with a major project at work and is very relieved to have it done. It involved a lot of engineering type stuff, which he does not enjoy too much. He would much rather be the hands on guy!
I so enjoy hearing from all of you and knowing what is happening in your families. Take care and have a wonderful autumn!
