Remembering Cameron

Sunday after our ward was divided (yeah we can finally go to the church ten feet behind our house) we went to the cemetery with the Capells and some of Lorraine's family to celebrate Cameron's birthday. We let off balloons in remembrance of Cameron. It was a really special experience. Sam was really glad he was in town for this. I think it is a really good reminder of the importance of the Gospel and eternal families. It also reminds me that Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us.

Afterwards we went back to our house for dinner and to spend some time with Sam before he left the following morning. It was sad as always to say good-bye to Sam but it was great to spend the weekend with him.

Beautiful Fall Leaves

Saturday we decided to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and went up to Sundance for lunch and to look at the fall leaves. It was so beautiful up there. Lorraine and Sydney met us up there for a fun afternoon. Katie and Becca were excited to see Sam!

Cute Cousins

We love our Syd!

Sammie Sam is growing up too fast!

That night Sam, Katie, Becca, Katie's Mark, Mark, Lance, Lorraine, Sydney, I went to the haunted house in Provo. It was a fun night! It was great to spend the weekend with Sam and the girls!

A great weekend

This last weekend Sam came to town. Over the summer he got his braces in Utah instead of Florida because they are cheaper in Utah and then we could see him more often. Sam really enjoyed having his alone time. Sam felt our house was lacking in "Halloween Spirit"

so he helped us out with some decorations

Sam and Sydney went to Jump on it and had a great time together on Friday

Sam also got to visit his cousin Skyler and play WII!

The Two Guys On My Mind Today

These cute guys are on my mind today. Sam left this morning after a great weekend trip to Utah. I will post the pictures tonight. It was great having him here and very hard to see him leave. He is such a great young man! Mark's Dad Jack has been having some health problems this weekend and so we are worried about him. We just love him!

Scream Asylum

I (Sam) came out for the weekend October 22nd to October 26th and have had a great weekend, but probably the most fun thing we did this weekend was celebrating Halloween with a good old haunted house!
We went to the, "Scream Asylum." It was an amazing haunted house (very scary) and loads of fun! =)
Susan, dad (Mark), Katie, Becca, Mark (Katie's Mark), Lorraine, and Sydney all went to the house. I was surprised how brave Sydney was because this was her first haunted house and it was pretty scary!
At the beginning we had a(n) argument of who would go inside first, it was decided that Katie would go first Mark followed, then Becca, me, Sydney, Susan, dad, then Lorraine, we had a train going (we were all hooked on to each other.)
We all had a great time and a hard time near the end trying to find a way out while dodging the people with chainsaws! =)
But it was fun and I'm hoping to have this become a new Halloween tradition!
