We managed to gather together this summer for a family photo. The real trick is getting four babies to all look at the camera at the same time.

More Nate & Eva photos...
Eva steals your heart with her ever-joyful personality. Here she celebrates the blowing out of the candles.
Taking care of an ice cream cone is serious business!

Colorado Tour
Susan and I headed East on Friday for a little Fall adventure. We kind of made up the trip as we went along which is something that I enjoy a little more than Susan. She has this preocupation with where we are spending the night. Here's how the route turned out:
A few years ago an airline pilot pointed out the impressive Black Canyon of the Gunnison River from 30,000 feet. I have wanted to see it up close ever since.
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, western Colorado, established as a national monument in 1933 and as a national park in 1999. The park contains the most picturesque section of the Black Canyon, the gorge of the Gunnison River. It is known as the Black Canyon because it is so deep and narrow that little light reaches its bottom. This section of the gorge is 16 km (10 mi) long and from 520 to 730 m (1,700 to 2,400 ft) deep.
The quakies were really blazing with color all through the Colorado mountains. The forests there are more dramatic--huge tracts of pines and large expanses of aspen that make the mountains look like they are on fire!

Aviation Merit Badge
Since moving to the new ward I have been helping out with the Scouts. (I think I talked a little too much about my interest in the outdoors when the Bishopric came to visit us!) Recently my partner was called into the bishopric and I was moved into the Scoutmaster slot. The boys are rambunctious, of course, but pretty good kids.
Lately we have been working on the Aviation merit badge with the help of a ward member who owns a helicopter flight school. Last week he took us on a tour of his facility and gave each boy a personalized flight about the Spanish Fork airport. It was a big thrill for all of them!

Fall Colors
Susan and I drove up Payson Canyon to take a look at the fall colors. I love it when the quakies range in color from green to yellow to orange. This is a view looking north to Alpine and Mount Timpanogos.
Oak brush is the first to turn and the colors can get vibrant.
Birthday photos
Nate just celebrated his 3rd birthday. Here he is concentrating really, really hard on his birthday wish.
Eva just turned 2 so it was a joint celebration. Of course the lit candles are pretty compelling... Nathan "made me" re-light his candle about 10 times.
Here's Don Quixote and Sancho!
