Our back yard in the Fall





Barney was sitting out in the back yard Sunday afternoon for awhile admiring the scenery there so he decided to take a picture or two of the beautiful colors of the trees. He said he wanted to say "Hey, this is my back yard. What about your?" So... From Barney to you. Here is our back yard.

San Diego , California bound!

Brian is in the Navy, AGAIN. He is being sent to Japan at the end of October with Joy for three years or so. So they came to see us in Utah on Labor Day but as time went on I felt like three years was such a long time and I wanted to see them one more time before they left. I doubt that we will make it to Japan ever. So we drove down to California and took the boys for a long weekend. We stopped at Tamara's first to spend the night in Menifee (near Temecula, norhtern San Diego). Then to the beach with Brian and Joys for the day, and to their house that night. We had dinner with our good friends, Denis and Marlena Asprey. It was their Anniversary and her Birthday that weekend too. The next day, on Sunday, we went to church with Barney's brother, Barry. It was good to see all our good friends in his ward, the Huff family, Ron Harvie, Barney's cousin, and alot of others there. Then went to Barry's house for dinner with his whole family of married and unmarried kids. The boys played in the pool and Jacuzzi while we were there for the afternoon. Then we went to Ron Harvie's house to see Aunt Carol and Uncle Ralph who go there for dinner every Sunday evening. That was so nice to see all of them too, Then back up to Tamara's where we spent the night and left for home early the next morning. It was a whirlwind of a weekend and tiring but so worth the drive to visit everyone. It was so much fun and great weather the whole time.
