Pumpkins for Paris

We picked out the perfect pumpkin at the farmers market and taught Paris how to pull the guts out.

She was in heaven.

Birthday Week

It's a huge birthday celebration around here the week of October 13th through the 20th. We just party nonstop.

So Saturday morning we headed up the canyon and took the lift up Sundance to enjoy the fall colors.

We went for a nice stroll around the top of the mountain.

Paris loved it

Lace had the whole place decorated for the day.

Then we got to walk across the street to watch the Cougars run all over Georgia Tech.

Anniversary

We went to a fun concert for our anniversary (since Lacie didn't consider the BYU-Utah game a sufficient celebration).

Florida Georgia Line & Thompson Square opened for Luke Bryan

Cool Conference Story

So this afternoon when Elder Gifford Nielsen came to the pulpit, I got really excited. Lacie asked who he was, so I told her how he was a great quarterback at BYU and in Houston and still lives in Houston.
She asked if he just got called to be a seventy. I said, 'no, he got called back in 2010 and he came to Scottsdale with Quentin Cook on his very first assignment. I got to meet him and talk with him for 10 minutes.'

And then right after that, he starts sharing his story about his first assignment at a stake conference with Elder Cook! He shared that same story about seeing the shoes on President Deaton's desk in their meeting right before the general session of stake conference that day. Always fun to have your mission mentioned in general conference.
