Yay the Troops are Coming Back!

I saw this article in the Washington Post this morning:

http://apps.washingtonpost.com/national/fallen/

It shows each individual soldier that has fallen in the Iraq/Afghanistan war that has been going for so many years

I was moved deeply when looking at this list, because many of my brother's close buddies are on it.  These are real guys with real lives!  Thank you each for your sacrifice, and may we all make choices to keep our lives free and happy!

Stewart Falls and Cornbellys

Cornbelly's...Actually its just one picture lol. I didn't like the way the others turned out...

And..dun dun dun...Stewart Falls..Wow talk about a beautiful hike! I was so invigorated by all those beautiful colors...I LOVE being in Heavenly Father's creations.  

 Peter:  Now look MAD!!

Peter got some pretty good shots from the car...this is up towards Aspen grove in case anyone is wondering :) 

Fall is in the Air!

So Peter asks me what kinds of things I want to do.....I had this huge list of Fall activities that I thought would be fun...and a lot of them included Apples!  So....we made caramel apples, CANNED applesauce (I've never canned anything before so Peter showed me how...)...and soon we will also make an apple pie. Yes! Yumm!!

OHOP with Christian!  (Yes, you heard that right!  Original House of Pancakes in SLC. It wasn't bad!)

And my favorite....Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies! Yessss!!! We made this batch that ended up giving us about 40 cookies! Yikes! It was great though, we just delivered them to a bunch of people!
