Fall

Fall has been one of our favorite times of the year recently. We have kind of settled into our house and are loving the gorgeous trees and mountains near our house. Here are some highlights of our last few months:

We have fixed up this house a little bit and have enjoyed it. (New countertops, patio door, gutters, gate and fence, and other boring stuff)

James has blown me away with his Plumbing capabilities. With the help of others, he has plumbed a gas line for our dryer, and re-plumbed our kitchen sink and bathroom sink. Can I hear a HALLELUJAH?! This family isn't paying top dollar for plumbers. We do it ourSELVES!

We grew mustaches as a family. (we thought, what the heck? why not?)

Lola wears it well

I could sport this, couldn't I?!

James' mustache is real. He is growing one for "no shave november"

In October, We took a quick weekend trip to Sun Valley, Idaho with some friends for conference weekend. We shot some guns & ate some really yummy food.

We had a Happy Halloween.

We dressed up like a nun and priest to a costume party. James kept beginning every conversation with "That reminds me of a scripture!" and would turn to a page in the bible. 

We had Lola wear a hot dog costume. It lasted for about 3 seconds, then ended up in a shriveled up pile on the floor. We attempted this 7 different times, and the same thing happened every time.

Some of our friends from Halloween.

We took Lola to dog obedience classes and met a lot of dog loving hippie people. We realized its probably time to have kids. We don't want to turn out like some of the people we met in dog class.

Jen has a calling in church- she is the activity days leader for the 8 and 9 year old girls! Is that the best calling or what?

We love you all. I hope the pictures loaded (or else the "we grew mustaches as a family comment will not make sense and may sound really awkward)
