OCTOBER 2017



HAPPY OCTOBER!
We had a great month that passed way too quickly!
We go to the BYU games and our first October game we ran into NAMA, COURTNEY and baby ALEXA KAMISSOKO.  They live in the area now and we are so excited!


Our latest branch at the MTC for October headed to Italy and Romania.  Great group of missionaries!

President Taylor got to go see the new MERIDIAN IDAHO TEMPLE this month before it opened to the public.  Beautiful!


Then we had a trip to SEATTLE to visit our son and his little family in their new home.

We welcomed visits from a couple great RM friends!
AARON JONES joined us Sunday afternoon and we had such fun talking with him!!



Then REBECCA CARTER came too and we kept up her Sunday afternoon tradition of baking cookies.
My granddaughter Brooklyn just ADORED her!
They were baking buddies and just all around buddies!


Meanwhile, Rebecca's brother Kevin has been taken over by our grandson Evan...they are looking at an EYE SPY book here. 
What a great kid!  We found out he served in our friends, the Shumway's mission in Oklahoma!  SO cool!


Here we are all together with our little crew of friends!
I was so glad I messaged Rebecca about being in her area, because I did not know she was even home!


When we got to the BYU game later in the month, we found Braden sitting with our dear Zach Jensen!  We loved sitting together and chatting the whole game.  It was a beautiful day in every way...and it did not hurt that BYU had a great game!
Our SUNDAY APM DINNER GROUP was all couples this month.  Fun how that worked out!
I am going to share couples along with advice they give for marriage!!
Dani (Robinson) and Neal Butler- Laugh together daily...mostly at each other!
Andy and Rachel Marble- Be REAL, Be HONEST and no playing games in communication.
(In back) Ben and Haley Crane- Never Stop FLIRTING with your spouse!
(Next in back) Christian and Megan Blake- CHOOSE YOUR LOVE AND LOVE YOUR CHOICE!              Have a date night weekly!
 (Far right back)  Jessica (Turner) and Dillon Selee-  Listen to the SPIRIT!  Accept differences.
(Middle front) Austin and Chelsea Bartleson- COMMUNICATION IS HUGE!  Keep it positive!
(Right front)Parley and Heather Scott- Talk CALMLY.  TALK all the time.  OPEN UP!

We could not have said it better ourselves!  It was like listening to ourselves talk about advice for marriage because they NAILED IT!  THANKS A BUNCH!!



We love seeing our RMs looking at the Mission Quilt. 

And, just for fun...our HALLOWEEN COSTUMES this year were:

BYU FANS going incognito since we had such a lackluster football season...hence the bags over the heads.  (Of course, they did win the day of this Halloween Party so it was good!)


Happy October!  Please go to the FB page and sign up on the pinned post for a dinner group soon!

WE LOVE YOU!!
