Karen's Kids Together

Karen's kids all came to SLC for a short visit. Everyone got together at Grandma Lorraine's house to celebrate being together and also Stephanie's birthday. Nate came from College Station, Texas and Amy from LaJolla, California. There are 4/8ths of the grandkids pictured here too. What could be more fun than that?

A Kokkola Birthday Party!

Little Hallee Kokkola had her first birthday! Part of her birthday is her own birthday cake! You can tell that she is having a great time diving into the frosting and everything underneath it.

















Her dad, Jason, also had a birthday on October 25! Happy Birthday to the two Kokkolas. It was a great party with the Timmreck's too!

Fun with Adam & Richie

Last weekend Adam & Richie (Dan & Lisa's adorable two sons) spent the weekend at the West Cottage. It was a birthday/sleepover and a trip to the Aquarium! These two little boys are full of energy and questions and fun. Here are a few images of the adventure!
Nana and Papa shared a pasta lunch with these two handsome boys. Was there more food on the floor or in their tummies? We'll leave it up to you to decide...
Birthdays with grandchildren are the best! Presents are out... memories are in!!

A Must-See Movie

On this very cold, wet day here in SLC, Paul and I took the opportunity to go see a highly recommended movie. (Even though our favorite thing is to go to movies on a weekday afternoon when the theaters are pretty empty, today was a perfect day to go.) This movie is about the Highland High Rugby Team and how it shaped the lives of the young men on the team. It's a true story and very touching. Your time will be well spent as you enjoy the wholesome message of the story. For an afternoon of great entertainment... see Forever Strong!

The Colors of Utah

As Fall has finally come to our beautiful state, the colors are unfolding. With the limited moisture this year, the colors are not as brilliant as some years, but worth savoring. Paul took a few shots while golfing at the Wasatch State golf course in Heber and Hobble Creek in Hobble Creek Canyon above Springville. You can also get a view of Paul's golf form... very nice!
