Halloween 2010

We all worked together to carve the pumpkin that Grandma Whitney got for Drew. He still asks if we can carve another pumpkin because he enjoyed it so much!
Drew dressed as a fireman this year! He had a pretty memorable experience after he set off the fire alarm at the Goodyear City building! He was able to go on the fire truck and meet the firemen. At first he was worried they would take him away because he had done something bad!
Our little Pumpkin!

Trip to Utah

My Grandfather passed away in October after struggling for a long time because of multiple strokes. On October 13 we drove from Buckeye, AZ to Camp Verde AZ to stay at my parents house so we wouldn't have to make the whole trip with our two little one. It was a long trip to make and really wore the kids out. Drew fell asleep after he put his little stuffed monkey around his neck!


One of the highlights of our trip is that we were able to spend some time with family that we do not see often. This is Drew and his cousin Micah!


We attended the funeral in Spring City. It was hard to realize that Grandpa Strate really isn't with us any more. I will really miss him. He has been a very influential person in my life. Drew was able to ride with Grandpa White as the horses pulled Grandpa Strate to the cemetery.



It was so good to see so many people who I love so much. It was a hard trip on the kids. But I am grateful that we were able to go.
