And the days go by

 Recently I went back to work full-time
and now I never take the time to post.
So here is a recap of the last 3 months! 
 Mark and I took our annual trip
 to the Spiral Jetty
 and it was the driest year yet.
 But it was way cool to walk all around it on the salt. 
 On the way home we stopped to see the Brigham City Temple.
 We took another quick trip over Labor Day to St. George.
 Our favorite place.
 CW was able to come for a couple of days too! 
 And the pool was still open!
 Aren't these two the cutest!!!
 We got to see James Taylor with the Mo Tab!
Football season started
 with a BANG!
 Very wet and cold - but still tons of fun!
 Malia came to visit us at work.
She brought her Mom and Dad too!
 Tony let us come and pick out some 
pumpkins to take home! Courtney had a really good time!
 We remodeled/refinished/whatever - our main bathroom
and we love it!
 Karen and Michelle came to visit!
My work friends and I tried Ron's (our boss) burrito place
for lunch one day.
 We visited Penn for her 1st birthday! And she is darling!
There was more football!
 I was invited to my first Witches Tea! Scary!
 
 I made pumpkin cream cheese whoopie pies
for our dinner party with Ben, CW, Cassie and Cameron!
We got to see some Wood family at a little party!
I love my Aunt Lette and Uncle Rex!
 We drove to Logan to meet James Wesley Wood
Mom's eleventh great-grand-child and the first to
carry on the Wood name.
 He is perfect!
 Three generations.
 While in Logan we had to go see the temple!
And Mom's friends and cousins Mel and Barbara.
And then it was Halloween and I went to lunch
with my friend Lorri - seen here with her daughter Emily - our waitress.
 Then we entertained our trick-or-treat favorites!
Merida, Lady-bug, and a Bandit! 
 
 Then Mark found a new arcade - with his favorite games!
 What a lucky guy!
After a beautiful Saturday, November 2nd.
It snowed!
 Happy Sunday!
Some exciting stuff is happening in November around here . . .
in 26 days
we get to hug and kiss this girl again!!!

YAY!

St. George - Glitter Pit - Spiral Jetty

 On our recent trip to St. George
we visited our favorite fruit/vegetable 
market - Frei's.
We bought tickets for Hairspray @ Tuachan
and took some weird pictures!
 Cute ones though!
 They were having camel rides! 
 Then that night we went to the play! So good.
 
 We took a lovely drive and saw some new petroglyphs -
hmmm that would be an oxymoron -
we saw some petroglyphs that we had never seen before!
 And luckily found the Glitter Pit!
 Which looks like glass.
It also glitters in the sun.
Unfortunately we got there a little too late.
 It was seriously cool.
If you want to visit it when next in St. George
please find directions here! Cause you will not find them
ANYWHERE else!
 We took a little trip to Vegas
and ate at Mesa Grill (thank you Bobby Flay)
 Yummy shrimp tacos!
 
It was so hot while we were there,
Just kidding! Don't you just love Frank Gehry?!
 We found a new fav place for breakfast.
 
And went to our old fav for dinner.
But we didn't have any fun without Paige!
Such sad faces!
 The other day we took our 2nd annual
drive to The Spiral Jetty!
 And my goodness - it never disappoints!
We went with these guys!
 And the sunset was spectacular!
 I couldn't stop taking pictures!
 Someone who had been there recently, but prior to us,
left a tribute to the artist - nice!
 
 The water was so warm.
 The sky and the water - beautiful! 
 I, obviously, couldn't get enough!
 

 Can't wait for our 3rd annual trip out
 to the ends of the earth,
in the middle of nowhere!
I was going to link it but just go to google.com/maps
and type in The Spiral Jetty and you will see what I mean!

Until next time!
