My weekend began on Friday morning with a trip to the temple. Moana (my sister) and I attended a session with Eric (my nephew) and Isaac. It was a mother/son excursion. We enjoyed the session together then pictures then pancakes at Cracker Barrel.
Moana and three of her boys stopped by St. George on their way home to Tempe, AZ. It was a timely trip and we were so happy to have them. Eric will report to the MTC on November 4 and is on his way to the Dominican Republic. He will be at the MTC when Isaac arrives on November 18.
What a surreal time this is as I reminisce over childhood memories with my sister and now we send boys into the mission field at the same time. The cycles of life keep us learning and growing.

Southern Utah weather was magnificent this weekend. A complete gift from God. We piled in two cars and took eight of our nine boys to Zion. Brian was missing from Moana's boys as were the two girls Allison and Karamea. It was their first time to Zion so we decided to hike Emerald Pools.
We hiked this trail in May but hiking it in the fall is a new and refreshing experience. The colors were spectacular! It was a wonderful hike and if you are my Facebook friend you can look there to see all the pictures.

When the hiking was done and we were all starving we headed to Springdale Park for some much needed nourishment and a little bit of fun. A picnic in the park and some fall football. What a perfect day this was.
We made it home and decided to have breakfast for dinner. Pancakes, scrambled eggs and ham. By 10:30 I was beat. A little bit of lavender oil to sooth the mind and I was out.
Tomorrow the kids are out of school and I have to work. I think I'll make it an early day so we can go see a movie tomorrow afternoon. Remember Where the Wild Things Are? It's a children's book and now it's a movie. We all want to see it.
Today is October 18. Isaac reports for his mission in exactly 30 days. Oh my.
