Fall Colors

After work today, Mom and I took a drive up Fairview canyon and then down through Scofield and back home. Here's a few pictures from the drive. The pictures don't do the beauty any real justice. It was a beautiful drive

Apple box oven cookies

On Saturday [a couple of weekends ago], J, S, and A stayed with us while their Mom and Dad went to the BYU football game. Nana has wanted to try cooking in an oven she learned about at a preparedness fair. You're supposed to be able to cook bread in this oven, but we thought we would begin with something which doesn't take as long to cook. So, we whipped up a batch of M&M cookies. The kids did a great job putting the M&M's on the cookies, even though more of the M&M's went into their mouths than on the cookies. The following pictures show the apple box oven gang in action.







The cookies turned out great. They took a lot longer than we thought they would. But none were wasted. We ate them all! Nana still has a lot to learn before we are ready for apple box oven bread baking.

Backyard picnic

We enjoyed the fall evening, roasting hot dogs and making s'mores!
