MoDgE - POdGe

I had a chance to get away for a few days and run up to Lewiston to see Trisha's family and Jacob over the Halloween/Grant's Birthday weekend.  The drive up there was so pretty with all the leaves changing colors, and fall well underway.
 It was fun to make cookies with Grant and Ali for Halloween!

 Ali was a cute sourceress for Halloween...
 and the man behind the Iron Man mask is our very own little Grant!
 Then there was Danny..."you might be a red-neck..."
 Their Ward had a nice Trunk or Treating and the kids got tons of candy.  Grant was a little shy to pose with this weird stranger sitting on his Dad's truck!
 Ali, or course, recognized her Dad right away...not much difference!
 Then it was the big day Grant had been waiting for!  Birthday time!!
 We got up before the sun came up, to open presents...
 We gave him a new little scooter...he got lots of fun things and was a very happy boy the whole day!

 I thought this was a great picture of Trisha and the kids!
 Our very own big 3 year old!
 This was the sun rise just breaking before the dawn that morning!  It was gorgeous!
 Then it was time to come home...and with the last trip in the fall...you never know when it will start snowing and the weather will turn bad.  This year, it came a little early, November 9th!
 We got about 4 inches, and it snowed all day!
 A look up at the ski resort...still buried in clouds and snowing!
 I guess it's time for the holidays...a fun Thanksgiving, with Trisha and Danny and Jacob and the kids all coming home...Yay!
And then we will be ready to fly to Jaron's for Carter's baptism!  We will get to see all the kids and Tanessa and the little girls will fly up to meet us there...So I am very blessed to have Clint living here close, to have Trisha and Jacob coming home to visit, and to be able to see the other two, Jaron and Tanessa just a week after that!  My kids are all spread out now, so I am thankful to be able to see all 5 within such a short period.  Look forward to LOTS of pictures!!
