I Almost Forgot!

Elly had her first visit from the tooth fairy last week! It looks like another visit may occur in the next day or so. The tooth next door is hanging on by a thread!

What We've Been Up To...

This past month has been so fun. We went out to Bishop, CA at the end of September to visit Brad's grandfather who is 96 years old and amazing. While we were there we went to a Native American (I believe it was Piute) parade and Pow-Wow.
Another milestone this past month was Brooke's 8th birthday. We celebrated by taking her and some of her friends to a pottery studio. They had a great time and painting, playing, and eating cake.
The highlight was definately last Saturday. Brooke made the decision to be baptized! It was such a great experience for her, as well as the rest of us. There has been a very sweet feeling in our home since then, and we hope in stays... Brooke with 2 of her friends. 5 were baptized from our ward that day!

The Birthday Bash!

At the park...also in Bishop

The Pow Wow...one of the neatest things I've ever seen.
