Some of you have been begging us to post these pictures for awhile. I know Rachel is dying to see them and Elizabeth Campbell too. Jopes and Elizabeth have been patiently waiting too. Marilee and Holly have been trying to get over to see it too but we have been sick with flu for a couple weeks and busy. We love our new place. The mountains are so close by and the view of the valley is beautiful. You can check out more pictures here on my photobucket just copy and paste this link into your browser!

Please let me know if you can see them okay, Rachel. I resized them so that they wouldn't be so huge too.

We had a lot of fun with everyone! There was a lot of great food, love, laughs, and smiles all around. Savannah came out of her shell and entertained us all with dancing and singing. You would never believe she is a shy person. Avery was full of cute giggles which made us all smile. Chiaki was the fashion diva as always! Chad is an amazing dancer. We had a blast with the Silva kids before, during, and after the reunion. Mandy, Brandon, and Lauren were reunited with their cousins who missed them. The girls and boys sang cool primary songs. Marilee reminded us how to do the pioneer line dance, which hopefully helped us speed up the digestion process of yummy food. Grandpa played games with the teens and kids! It was cool to see people quilting blankets. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for planning this gathering and sharing your beautiful testimonies! I am sure the southern side of the family will have a wonderful time too!

On Saturday November 3, 2007, we got up early to go hiking and fishing up American Fork Canyon. The hike was long and exhausting. We were impressed that James and Heather's dog Fender made the hike without a problem! We saw a total of 12 moose while hiking up to the lake and almost got chased by a cow and calf moose, which was kind of scary. James caught three fish, Jen caught one, Jessica caught one, John caught one, and Heather caught one. This was Heather and Jessica's first time fishing!
