We LOVE Fall

We are loving the Fall weather around here....

We went to Thanksgiving Point with some friends and the boys loved riding the horses.

 "H Pile" turned 2!!

 Tough stuff...

 Look at those lips!

Tydon's birthday is coming up this month too. We went to San Diego for Gord's nephew's wedding so we made it a long weekend and went to Sea World to celebrate the boys' birthdays.

 The boys were exhausted after the fun day :)

 The next day we went to the beach in La Jolla...

 It was chilly, but the boys still LOVED it.

 Typical boy... not afraid to get dirty!

 Gord and Tydon built a sandcastle 

 Nice work!

I look forward to date nights with my man! We went on a Provo River cruise and they had over 100 carved, lit pumpkins. It was an experience...

 This guy makes me smile and laugh til I hurt :)

We had a family night at Hee Haw Farms. The boys LOVED riding the horses, sliding down the big slide, swinging on the tires, corn maze and picking out their pumpkins 

I wish this 70 degree weather would last about 1 month longer....

Back to ID, the new business and more travel...

My parents went to Vegas for the weekend

so I took the boys and we went and stayed the weekend with

Brody...

This was all Tydon could think about while we were there :)

Gordon recently started his own business...

Wood Works Contracting

(We are in the process of designing his logo)

He is working on getting his general contractors license,

so he is going to be doing remodels, finish work and handyman stuff.

He is sooo good at what he does and he is really enjoying it.

He is remodeling a home in SLC right now. 

Here are a few of the most recent pics...

It is coming along... Should be up for sale in a few weeks!!

I'm so proud of Gordon and all of the hard work that is going into this home.

When Gord was getting started on his house I flew to Palm Springs 

for a personal development training... what an AMAZING experience!

The conference took place at the Grand Champions Hyatt

in Desert Hills, CA

The rooms are gorgeous...

 Each one has a step down sitting area with it's own balcony...

 The grounds are beautiful...

Very kid friendly

 It was great meeting some new people and 

getting reacquainted with old friends :)

 Sandy from TX

 Our trainer and one of my mentors Marc Acetta

 It was definitely a Journey...

 Another mentor, Mike Azcue

 This group from TX knows how to have

fun!! Can't wait to see them in Vegas :)

 This was the view from my condo...

13th Green at Oasis Country Club.

(Wishing Gord would have been with me so we could have golfed)

 My rental car!!

(okay... I wish... Beautiful Bentley sitting at the hotel)

 What an amazing trip...

I learned a lot about myself and can honestly say

I'll never be the same after an experience like this training provided!

I look forward to taking friends and family with me next year.

Lake Powell

One of our new favorite places!!

I can't believe we have never been here place before...

We had an amazing week with Gord's family.

We took the scenic route... not on purpose.

We drove by the Manti temple and it was the 

first time Gord or I had ever seen it.

(Beautiful!!)

We took my brother with us and the boys made forts up

top on the house boat the first night.

 Fun little hike a few of us took one evening...

 Henson went off the slide!

Gord tried on Henson's life jacket :)

 The canyons are so cool!

 Our home away from home for the week...

 Tydon chillin...

 It's not vacation unless you go fishing...

 Jake (Gord's nephew-in-law)

 The boys even did dishes one night :)

Tydon LOVED riding the tube with Briggs!

 Yee-Haw

 Fun gas station in the side of the mountain

 We ended the trip home with ice cream...

Thank you Tomlinson's for an amazing week!

We are so grateful for our families.
