Cross Country Kiddos

The kids had another great race on another beautiful Fall day! They did Cross Country after school this year, and participated in the end-of-season Jamboree. We were so lucky to have my mom and Kirk up here to cheer them on!

Getting ready to run...
 Kenley sprints to the finish, beating her last year's time by several minutes!
 Here comes Parker!
 The proud runners with their finishers' medals!
 Kenley with her best friend Gabby.
 Celebrating with some hamburgers and Grandpa Kirk!

Fall Festival

Unfortunately, Fall is kind of a short season here in Alaska, and there aren't many community events to enjoy. One that we love is the Fall Festival in Palmer, and this year we were lucky enough to enjoy it with a group of about 25 family members!
 Hay fight!


The only pumpkin patch around!







Fun and games!







And tractors galore!



Kenley's Baptism

Kenley was baptized a few weeks ago, and the weekend was absolutely perfect. We were surrounded by family and love, and I felt the Spirit so strongly during the program. I love this sweet girl and I am proud of her choice to be baptized.
