American Fork Canyon
Fall Leaves

We took a little drive up the canyon today... we wanted to take family pictures but it was raining so we just went for a drive. It was beautiful... we will do pictures next weekend so hopefully we will have blue skies and no rain.

The fall leaves made me think of Dave... he loved the outdoors and hunting... hunting season is coming up. I decided to take some leaves to his grave... Heidi picked a bench so the kids and anyone else could sit and look out over Utah Lake. The other side lists Heidi and the kids. I never understood why people would visit graves. I just didn't understand the peace you can feel. Now I find comfort there. What a beautiful fall day. :)

Hey Jen! So what friend do we have in common then? I was happily surprised to see you wrote on our blog. Yours is so cute. I never knew your daughter's name. That's a pretty cool name.. I think it said you call her Iree. That's cute! I read through the post about finding peace at Dave's grave. Is that your brother that passed away a little while ago? How old was he? Did you get the present I asked your husband to give you from the Stake YW Pres? Hope your birthday was great!
