Well I think it's time for another post. Here I am in Monroe again without Pam. She is back in Denver taking care of Travis' children while they are in Mexico. I know it was for a family wedding, but I want to know if Travis took a board with him!! Most of the inputs on this post are from the previous couple of weeks when I was in Denver with the family for Megan's baptism. Erin's latest post covered Halloween very nicely so I won't recover that time.

It just seems like yesterday that we were in Denver for Megan's birth. Where has eight years gone? She is such a wonderful young lady, so polite, kind, active and lovable. We hope that her memories of her baptism will stay with her forever. We are so proud of her preparation and desire to be baptized and make covenants with Heavenly Father.

Isn't she such a beautiful young lady. This is her baptism dress which Pam made for her.

Cousins: Kali, Megan, Haley, and Andrew at the baptism.

Jennifer, Kali, and Megan sharing something before the baptism service began.

Cynthia showing off Kate in her new dress which Erin made for her. Kate is a hard charger and had a few bumps on the tile floor in Travis' basement bathroom. Still cute however!

Friends, family and ward members at Megan's baptism.

Sarah and Reynolds. What a cute young man he is becoming.

Erin using her skills at the keyboard. She was playing prelude music and also the opening and closing songs for the baptism.

Travis, Jennifer and family with Pam and Me. I want Travis to know that I was standing downhill and he isn't as tall as me!

Later in the day we attended the open house for Megan's baptism at her home in Roxborough. It was a fun afternoon and evening attended by family and ward friends. We visit, ate, visted ate, and ate some more. Thanks Jennifer for the wonderful goodies!

Tom really sacrificed to be there as BYU was playing in Fort Collins. So he listened to the game on KSL radio over the internet and it was definitely more stressful that he had hoped for. BYU finally eked out the victory.

These are more pics of the open house and our family. Pam and I wonder often how lucky we are to have such wonderful daughters and son -in - laws and are grandchildren...well they couldn't be cuter and more delightful. Alex was in the hospital with Benjamin and he was spending his last weekend in the hospital. We are so grateful that he is now home and doing very well.



Pam will be home with me next Monday and then perhaps our lives will become more mundane. We do have some projects to complete around the house and I'm sure we will be kept busy. But winter has set its sights on Monroe and are mountains are white with snow and the lawn has stopped growing-hurrah!!!
