Happy Halloween!

Halloween this year was super fun.  It was a warm night and it was fun to walk around the neighborhood with McKinley and her cousin Emma.  It's so fun to see all the kids dressed up and enjoying themselves.  There are some really fun houses in our neighborhood to go to.  A couple houses go all out with decorations and music and of course we love getting our hot dogs from Bishop Mel and a soda from Nana and Grandad!  We end up at Mike Mischele's house and enjoyed some yummy wassle there too!

Evan went off with some friends this year and was responsible for hauling in 27 pounds of candy!  We're all helping him through it and a lot of it will be saved in storage or some how end up in the garbage!  While I love the Halloween fun, I'm not a huge fan of the candy or having it around the house for very long!

Fall Friday Fun!

There was no school on Friday and it was such a beautiful day that Mischele and I decided to take the girls to the zoo!  It was perfect!  The girls are such a fun age and the zoo is quite enjoyable when you can just wander around and see the exhibits and not chase little ones everywhere.  We enjoyed the new exhibits at the zoo and learned a little bit about elephants and giraffes and more!

We enjoyed the 5 minute train ride that takes you behind the animal enclosures and to the mining town exhibit.  Cute times!

The two ladies have a lot of crazy fun in them!

Swearing In

On Tuesday, Ethan was sworn in to the Draper Mayors Youth Council.  He will be working with a group of youth and the city of Draper to put on a bunch of activities and services in the city of Draper.  He is excited to learn more about the mayor's office and how things work in the city of Draper as well as help out with community events.  It will be a fun experience for him!

 We thought we were taking pictures and it was a video, so these are all we got.  Blurry, but proves that he was there.

Mayceleen's bridal shower!!

On Saturday we had a bridal shower for my niece Mayceleen!  She is getting married in October and we are so excited for her.  This is the third bridal shower of the summer and we are getting good at pulling these parties together.  I love planning parties and I have the best helpers to delegate to, so they are always such a success.  It takes a lot of work, but they are so fun!  It's fun to shower the special guest with love and attention for the event!

We had a beautiful evening for the shower and it is always fun to get together and celebrate the upcoming wedding of a great couple.  We are so excited for Mayceleen and Kelly and look forward to their wedding next month!

Labor Day - Snowbird - Oktoberfest

With the season getting colder and the official end of summer we decided to take a trip up into the mountains for the day.  We were planning to ride the tram at Snowbird and enjoy the outdoors.  We headed up to Snowbird and discovered that it was Oktoberfest at Snowbird that day!  So, bonus!   We still took the tram up to the top and explored the magnificent views from the ride and at the top.  Then Ethan and I rode the tram back down and Dave, Evan and McKinley took the chair lift down (Brrrr...).  It was so beautiful up there and we enjoyed ourselves.  Afterwards we went to lunch and prepared for fall at our house!  The cooler temperatures are nice and the leaves will start to change soon.  A new season!

Justin is home!

Just a few days after his twin brother returned home, we were at the airport to welcome Elder Justin Cederlof home from his mission to Australia.  What a sweet reunion it was with his family.  We are so proud of his service and look forward to all he will achieve now that he is home!  Welcome home Justin.

Zachary comes home!

Elder Zachary Cederlof returned home from his 2 year mission to Hong Kong.  It's always so fun to be at the airport when these missionaries come home.  The emotions run high and the reunions are so sweet!  He was a wonderful missionary and is going to do great things now!  Welcome home Zach!
