Visitors!

For a weekend in September Justin's brother Jayson, and his wife Neha came to visit all of us in Utah. We had lots of fun visiting playing games and eating some delicious food. 

One day the fall leaves were looking really pretty so we went on a little jaunt up in the canyon. We were missing some of our group this day and I kept forgetting my camera when we were all together, darn it. But anyways here are most of the group. 

All the originals.

All the girls.

Almost everybody, we were missing Ben and Tony. 

We had lots of  fun being all together for most of the weekend. Jayson and Neha love to cook so they usually treat us to something that they make. This time they made us savory tarts and a very yummy lemon pie type thing. I can't remember what it's called. It was all very good. Justin said to me, "They like cooking and I like eating so lets go over." True story, =) 

As always time just flew by and they had to get back to San Francisco for jobs and school. We'll miss them lots and see them soon for Thanksgiving. Just so you guys know there are quite a few houses for sale or rent on our neighborhood *wink wink nudge nudge*. =) 

It's Autumn Time. Well at least for a minute.

On Tuesday this week I decided to go and visit my family in Logan. They had been raving about the fall leaves and since where I am the leaves left something to be desired. So the plan was to get up there early and go on a nice hike. Well when I woke up it looked something like this.

 It was raining pretty hard but I decided to go anyways and hope that there would be a break in the rain. Aside from the almost accident I got into because someone was being a stupid driver it was a nice drive through the canyon. I even got a pretty got shot.

While it was raining and waiting for the kids to get home from school, my mom and I kept our selves busy. We went shopping, made applesauce and had a great time visiting. Finally in the late afternoon the sun broke through! So I grabbed my sisters and we headed up to check out the views.

 Ahh, fall. It's so pretty. It's like an image. =)

Goofy sisters. They LOVE having their picture taken. NOT!

 The trails were really muddy and so we played around the parking lot.

Pretty good view. I'll take it.

It wouldn't be a trip home without a bit of manual labor. My parents have been doing some serious remolding of their house and they were getting new carpet in their living room the next day. So to save on some money family work project to get all the old carpet up and out of there.

 It didn't take that long.

It was a fun visit and I am glad that I went since now there is snow in the mountains and it is freezing. Fall why did you have to leave so fast?
