A day at the races

As a preface to this post - Dave, Rebekah, and I took a quick trip to New York last weekend to see Dave's parents.  It was fun to spend time with them, and they look wonderful!  Rachel, Jeff, and Forrest traveled from Iowa to spend the weekend in NY as well, so it was a great time.  We loved being together!  The only glitch was that we didn't have our camera.  I'm very sad about that, but I'll have to rely on Rebekah to give me her photos.  I know she got some great pictures.  So Rebekah - post your pictures from New York soon, okay?!

In other news,  Jake had a race yesterday in Manti, possibly the last one he'll do this season.  So we invited Rob, Mindy, and the girls to go, and we had a great day.  Jake did great,  finishing 3rd.  The pictures of Jake were taken by Rob, who is a very talented photographer!










Spooky Treats

Last time Bekah was home for the weekend, she wanted to make some Halloween cupcakes.  The ones in the picture she showed me were really cute.  Our interpretation of them was not quite so perfect, but still pretty darn cute!



As luck would have it, we were babysitting Preston that night, so he helped us out, and even decorated his own cupcake.




And Preston's fine work deserves a closeup:
