Las Vegas Temple and Seeing Erin

Erin Farrar came into town, and we thought what a wonderful opportunity it would be to meet up at the temple.  Erin and Jen helped me with some temple work and for that I am very grateful.  I think others are very grateful too.  It was great to see them both.  And...I love going to the temple.  It is my heaven on earth.

My New Job.

This is my new job.  Isn't she so cute!   

This is Paige.

I am a full time nanny for two cute little girls.  Paige is 10 months old and Emma is 8 years old.  I spend most of the day with Paige until I pick up Emma from the bus stop.  Life couldn't be better.  I love this job!

Emma drew this for me today!  :o)

I feel so blessed that Heavenly Father is so mindful of me.  I have had no problems finding employment since I have been home from my mission.  I save almost every penny, because I want to have the money to go back on my mission.  My last job was temporary and recently ended, as you may have read in an older post.  Very soon after, I got offered this job.  I thank Heavenly Father everyday.

Visiting the Stotts and October Farm Fest

October 14, 2011 - October 16, 2011

Cutest video ever.  Grant learned how to smile on demand.  Can a cheesy smile ever look cuter than this?!

Dad said that we might go visit Rachel, Perry and Grant.  So on Friday, I packed my bag, his bag and the car, before he gave the okay.  That is faith and hope in action right there.  Hehe!  I love visiting the Stotts.  Rachel is one of my best friends.  It was a short trip, but worth it and oh so fun!

This is dad's prize for coming.

We went to October Farm Fest in Payson, UT.  It was all for Grant, but we had our fun too.  They had a small petting zoo, pony rides, bouncy castle, etc.

So cute!

This duck reminded me of the duck from "Babe"

Riding like a pro!

My favorite part of the October Farm Fest wasn't even part of the festivities.  We found these tractors off in a field, away from the fun.  I liked the tractor photo shoot.

Pink Tractor!

I like.

This one is my favorite!

Very old truck.  And conveniently it was unlocked.

He would not smile for the camera.

I wonder what he found.

I can't wait until I can see the Stotts again!

It's Autumn Time

For the beauty of the earth, 

For the beauty of the skies, 

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies, 

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night, 

Hill and vale, and tree and flower, 

Sun and moon and stars of light, 

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise.

"For the Beauty of the Earth"

This hymn frequently comes to mind as I marvel at the beauty of God's creations.  We are so blessed to have such a loving Heavenly Father.  

I love Fall.  It is my favorite season!  I love when the trees change color, the weather is warm with a cool breeze, or the weather is not so warm and you can snuggle up in some clothes you haven't seen since spring.  But mostly I love the way that our world changes and becomes more beautiful.  

Nevada does not have fall.  We have summer and a cooler summer.  I love going to visit places that do have four season.  We went to Utah for the weekend.  These pictures are from the Mount Timpanogos trail in Aspen Grove, Sundance, Utah.
