Busy weeks

It's been a busy few weeks. Thought I'd catchup.
A couple of weeks ago, willie and kelly and their cute kids came to visit and meet baby Russell. Kelly and her kids came up, we had a great time.
Beach, swimming, s'mores and Disneyland we're on the docket.























Then came Halloween.


















Kerry came down on the Friday after Halloween. She was stuck in the airport shooting and walked, carrying cedar, a few miles with her duffle bag on her back! What a woman!!






We just hung out, went to Ryan and Whitney's baby blessing.
On Monday she flew back to utah I flew to charlotte nc to meet my cousin mare. She's moving there and building a house. We picked out all the windows, appliances, tiles etc. whirlwind, but fun.











So im back home getting ready for thanksgiving. It's been a fun few weeks
