Say Aloooooha to Fall!

It seems like we have been so busy, and then when we try to think of what we have been doing every week we can only think of work, work and more work! We have managed to do a few fun things though :)

BYU-Hawaii now has an alumni chapter in North Texas, yeehaw! We are both on the chapter board so we were involved in the planning and preparation of our first activity in September. It was fun to make new acquaintances, wear our Island stuff and eat cultural food (Pani Popo, anyone?)

Our biggest adventure this year (so far) was our recent trip to Utah. It was a short trip, but so much fun. We spent most of our time with family. Lauren is the newest grandchild and we were able to meet her for the first time this month. It didn't take long for her to warm up to us. We gobbled her up as much as we could. Michael is also getting so big and he is a bundle of energy and fun.

We recruited Todd, Steph's littlest brother, to come with us on a photography excersion through the Alpine Loop. The scenery along the way was spectacular although the leaves had not fully turned into various bright fall colors. We stopped at Cascade Springs and continued our photography fun. The day was so beautiful, even with the sporatic rain.

We both had a wonderful time visiting Utah, the mountains, our family and a few friends.

In other news...Steph is finally the proud cyber-owner of a blog. Our family stuff stays here though :) You can read about her miscellaneous interests and 'side stories' by visiting her blog, Steph Side Story.

Happy Fall Y'all!
