Halloween

It starts with the perfect pumpkin... Olivia kept yelling at Mercedes to clean her hands off! Guts - yuck!
Believe it or not, there are thieves in Arizona! We started with 5 pumpkins, one per kid. Sounds logical right? Well aparently some body thought we were over our pumpkin quota - and they stole 2! Stole 2 pumpkins! It was sad, but we managed to have fun carving anyway!
Two of my favorite things to do - Carve pumpkins, and pick out and cut the family Christmas tree! Thanks for the great memories Daddy!


For the first time in FOREVER we were able to Trick or Treat with the Hensons! What a treat! They are by far the biggest "perk" to moving here! We love them tons!


We had a great Halloween and loved the socializing at the Ward Trunk er Treat too! Who ever had the idea to serve Pizza wins the "smarty pants" award! Dean ate at a ward party! OMHeck!



I love catching these little snapshots into the "real" Dean! This is the man who has banned the word "booger" from our home!

Missy Baby gets Married

Mr Cassidy Moss marries Miss Melissa Ross

Introducing Mr & Mrs Cassidy Moss

October in Salt Lake City is apparently a bit windy!

Dean & I in the underground SLC Temple parking garage. We were married October 16, 1987 - it was nice to be in a Temple so close to our own Wedding Anniversary.

Here we are at Missy and Cassidy's reception

(Dowlin was hanging out with his other cousins, Taylor and Seth)

Mercedes was in Missy's line - as a brides maid. I copied Mercedes dress for Brittney and Olivia. Zachery was the doorman

This is Olivia with Caden (Jason's) and Payton (Devin's)

Scott, Dad , Jenni & Taleen

I had a wonderful time seeing family and friends that I havent seen in years! I love weddings! :)

We were able to sneak in a quick visit with Great Grandma Taylor before we had to leave Utah! What a treat! She is living in an assisted living village, just a few minutes from Bob and Jan's. Right by Mt Timpanogas Temple, in Pleasant Grove.

Great Grandma is doing well as she can for a lady in her 90's! We are so glad we got to see her!

Mercedes 14th Birthday!

What a day! Mercedes turned 14! we went out to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Taylor to Applebee's where we gave Mercedes a little box with a cute bow on it! Suddenly it began to ring! Yes ~ she got her 1st cell phone! Heaven help us all!

In Arizona 9-12 is in HS. And K-8th is in Elementary school ~ this is going to be a hard year for Mercedes, after all the freedoms she enjoyed in Jr High in Kansas, she's stepped back in time to "specials" and she's not happy! But she is playing Volleyball and Softball for Western Peaks Elementary! :)


She also gets to start going to Church Stake Dances! This is her 1st dance ~ with her Daddy! (yes, I got Dowlin's) We are very proud of her!
