Tommy smelling the flowers!
Every November we go the the Oakland Temple Interstake Center for Stake Conference...and after the meeting we go to the top of the Temple to the Gardens and take pictures of us with the amazing view...
We are so happy Matt, Lyndsey, Tommy and Caitlin live in our Stake!
Halloween morning began with Pumpkin Carving! It was great to have Emily and Aaron here because they were enthusiastic about it, unlike the Parents!
Baby Carter's First Halloween! 
Grandma was trying to catch a photo of Woody and Jessi! I didn't post all the wiggling ones!
Success! Now....can we go trick or treating?
It didn't take long to catch the hang of it!
Not sure about some of the scary houses...
Aunt Emily, pinch hitting for Matt...Jessi just wanted to be carried!
Back at the house, Trev, Becca and her brother play the trade candy game.
Alyssa and Heidi said goodnight to Tigger!
Emily and Aaron's Spooky Pumpkins....
Alyssa's turned out really good!
Matt, Lyndsey and the kids pumpkins...don't you just love Jack O' Lanterns!!!!
We love having the time together and the time to celebrate....
56 years of marriage for Grandpa and Grandma. Mom and Dad. Whatever we have become we owe to their amazing legacy of family and faith.
Thank You for showing us how life is supposed to be lived, up and downs, but always family and faith. We love you!
We tried to keep them alive!
Caitlin likes to cook, too.
But mainly she like to sample the dinner!
This was the goal everynight! Grammie laid down with them until they were asleep. The days started at 6AM!
Greg and Teresa.
Matt and Lyndsey.
Aaron and Emily.
Thanks to Don and Brad bringing Anna and Kayden, we were finally able to have all our core children together for the First and Last Time in TWO years!!!
Uncle Don and Kayden.
Everyone except Chris, who sadly had to work. We missed him so much.
Anna and Kayden.
"Pa" and Kayden.
The boys, Don, Trev, Matt, Brad and Aaron.
The girls. Lyndsey, Alyssa, Anna and Emily.
Lyndsey and Caitlin.
Two cousins play happily in the kitchen under the high chair.
Notice how a high chair and an old measuring cup are such fun, why does Grandma spend so much buying toys?
It's a good thing that Grandma somehow has two batmobiles!
Caitlin is happy to have any vehicle to join the fray.
Alyssa sat in the middle of the fun.
Finally home after two years serving a mission in Portugal.
Mom can't believe he is really here.
Heading Home.
Getting to know Uncle Don.
Happy Family!
My favorite time of year, corn mazes, pumpkins, family!
Anna and Kayden finding their way through the maze.
Are we there yet?
It's a nice day for a walk.
