Michael couldn't wait while this casserole baked.

I caught him in the kitchen licking the pan!

Trampoline

You can't tell, but this is a trampoline and Mike pushed me!

No worries though...I got him back pretty good.

In the maze...6 forks in the road...which way?

Beautiful, Spooky, Autumn Night

Halloween



These are our pumpkins this year. One is a nerd and the other is the ASL 'I Love You'.




BYU Football

Oops...a little out of order. For the sake of my husband, I must represent our activity during this season's BYU Football. I, personally, have managed myself better; being better prepared, dressing warmer, parking closer. But it's getting cold now, so I'm done until the BYU vs. Utah game.

Road Trip!


We took a mini road trip to Colorado for a cousin's reception and the one day trip took 3 days. This was fun becuase it was an unplanned vacation and we stayed in two, nice, hotels. (I talked one of them down from $90 to $67. eh he he he.) We took our time and did whatever we wanted. We enjoyed the scenery and now we can say we've seen two more states.


We went through parts of Utah I've never seen before, through Colorado (some gorgeous rock formations/valleys), back through Wyoming (there is nothing there but a lot of grass and windmills-which scare me-), and down through Midway and Heber City rather than Salt Lake.





New Family! We took the trip for Michael's cousin's wedding reception. Dave and Allysha were married in the Sacramento Temple with a reception in CA and CO. (Dave is Michael's cousin).





These are some of the things we saw in Colorado. 40 bums on one block, a goth' in a top hat on a 7 ft high bicycle and a man who walks backwards are among the things we couldn't get pictures of. I love the new things you find when you travel. :-)



A longer "more interesting" route home.


We counted over 300 windmills through Wyoming and these pictures were taken hours between each other.
Pretty blue skies, though, eh?

Holding Down the Fort

This is a real dog!

He was barking at us!

He looks like a Staffordshire Terrier and/or Bullmastiff.

He wasn't even scared to be up there.
I needed a change while my hair grows out-you know that awkward stage between short and long-so I got it done.
Somethin' c-raaa-zy.
Now I have an excuse for those 'dumb blonde' moments...
"I said Tar-Tar!"

Shortly after we got back to Utah

End of Summer

We head back to Utah:

We accumulated 2 real wooden bookshelves (an up-date from our wire cubbies) from my parents and a nice, solid wood dresser from Michael's parents, and of course the motorcycle. Therefore, we also purchased a trailer! Can you see how our poor trooper of a car is all weighed down? She did a good job though! I'm proud of her towing capabilities and she got us home with everything, safely.
(The motorcycle did fall through the floor of the trailer as we entered Salt Lake City, but that wasn't the car's fault.)

News of the Family

While staying with my parent's in California:
Mom traveled almost the whole summer. I think she was home a total of 3 weeks of the 3 months we were there.
so...
We spent most of our home time with Dad, laughing late into the night while eating candy.
Mark is Argentina, and all the info we have on him is available on his blog: elderrunolfson.blogspot.com
Although it is a little out of date due to complications with his MTC entries.
Kayla is active with friends, did some traveling with Mom and is preparing to drive!
Britton is also very social and is taking some acting classes. We just might see him in a commercial sometime in the future.
I wish I had thought to get some up-dated pictures of them to post.

4:00 pm.
Okay, it's a little blurry, but this was our sky all summer. The colors are pretty acurate, the sky was that dark, the sun varried from pink to orange, and the air was thick with ash. It settled on cars in chunks the size of nickles.
