We are so proud of Emma so we wanted to share the story of her candy bowl. As you know with all the fires there has been several hundred thousand evacuees. A hundred or so came to our stake center from another stake. I was making a stew a few days ago to contribute to dinner for the evacuees and Emma was helping. On the counter Emma noticed the bowl of Halloween candy for our upcoming ward Halloween carnival. She asked if we could take the candy to the people. She said, "Mommy the people are sad because they can't be in their homes right now. Candy will make them feel better." It was just a simple statement of fact and yet it was such a kind gesture. She is growing and maturing so fast!

The great pumpkin search
We searched and searched for a pumpkin patch...
...but because of the fires everyone was closed Monday night...
...and we ended up at Vons. At least we have our pumpkins!

Hawaii
The kids anxiously wait to board our last flight of the day at the Honolulu airport.
My dad's pet eating the kids' lunch...
This picture is a little blurry but both Briley and the gecko are in flight. This is her first attempt to catch a gecko. She was all over my dad's counter tops trying to catch it.
A boy and his beach...it is all over his hands, his face, and his chips!
This makes me want to go back...
Doesn't this make you want to fly?
Another boy and his beach...he put it in his bottle to take home!
A little too much fun in the sun makes for a sleepy little one!
Hanging out by the pool...
The boy is absolutely fearless...I have feared that I will not survive his childhood. My grandpa tells me the problem is that I will...
Emma finally became brave enough to jump off the rock too! (Notice the absence of Daddy-he is in Maui kiteboarding)
Cameron was so excited to hold Briley's gecko that we spent the next several days observing and trying to catch him another one.
Briley tried all week to catch a gecko and finally got one...I just don't think it survived the catch! It left for gecko heaven long before the kids were done holding it.
Daddy buried Emma in the sand and she thought it was great!
Logan just loved the ocean! He thought it was the greatest fun to be tossed around, having the surf rush up on him.
The boys at the Kona airport. You can see the top of the airplane right behind the palm tree. The highlight of the trip for Cameron was flying on the airplane.
The girls on the airplane on the way back to San Diego.

Chris and Andy in Alaska
It was a little chilly so close to a glacier! 
pure beauty found in an Alaskan sunset
Chris and Andy at La Conte Glacier in Alaska (July)
a happy little family...almost everyone
Logan in September
his first bubble bath
Logan experiments with his first bubble bath...
it didn't go so well!
does he get any cuter?
tree climbing begins so little
fun in the sun and sand
Cameron in September
a rare treat...cheerios and Thomas on mom and dad's bed
fixing his favorite book with daddy
oh, to be young again!
hungry?
Cameron takes a turn
Emma in September
Emma thinks he's funny...do you think he's a little scary?
she does love to read
after many unsuccessful attempts she resorted to sticking out her tongue hoping to catch a drop
do you remember how fun tunnels at the park were?
Emma and Daddy take a ride
Briley in September
does this slide look comfortable?!
they have such precious moments
first game in 8U division
the only way to beat the heat on a brutal summer day
