Newport Beach Temple

Mindy and I finally visited the Newport Beach Temple. It is a very beautiful temple, and it was so nice to feel the spirit of the temple. Our bishop told us the Newport Beach Temple was paid for by the members in the area. Seeing how Newport Beach is one of the richest areas in the US, I believed him. The fact that he was our bishop also weighed in as to why I believed him :)

How not to use an iron

Ryan found out the hard way that ironing your shirt while wearing it isn't the greatest idea. The problem came when he accidently hit the steam button! It gave him a nasty burn that has turned into a scar. He claims he was trying to flatten out his abs :)

Where to begin the end of Summer has treated us very well. We did a lot of Blending then the fun began. Ryan went on a Elk Hunt with his Dad, John and Cody in New Mexico while the girls(Grandma Jackie,Amy,Kenz,Amber, and our body guards Collin and Howie) came to our house and we went to the happiesst place on earth. I think they should change it to the busiest place on earth haha. I love Disneyland!! We had so much fun Kenzie loved the princesses and Collin boy loved the carousel(He has a super grip! I didnt think we would get him off that ride so so funny). It was so great to be with all the ladies. Howie and Collin were so nice to put up with us. So thankful for such an awesome family! After those adventures we did some more blending then we traveled home to Utah. My mom took us on a fabulous family vacation to Zion Ponderosa. It was Awesome! It was so fun to be with the whole family. It was beautiful and extremely fun! All the kiddos were so cute and wanted to go fast with Uncle Ryan on the razor! Hilarious! Instant tears if they didnt get to ride with us. We all had so much fun from Smores to Zip- lining. Thanks mom and everyone for the awesome time at Ponderosa! Next up Family deer hunt. Nothing better then going to Panguitch to see a few deer, see the wonderful fam, eat some delicious food, and get dirty. We had such a fun time being there. Ry and I took Kolter and Karsten they loved the hunt. They are official hunters after hanging out with Cliff and Grandpa Jack. They loved it! Although Ry only saw a few bucks during the rifle hunt, he was still was able to tag a big one. He went over 2 days without even seeing a deer and then the miracle buck showed up Tuesday night. He was a 25" four point. Jerky anyone? It was so nice to be back home in Utah. Since being home our friends Beau and Jaime came to visit. We went to six flags and a Chargers game. It was so fun to laugh and have a whole lot of fun!! PS dont leave keys or cellphones in pockets while riding any type of rollercoaster!!We look forward to the Holiday Season and the memories it will bring.
