So for dinner on Sunday, I invited my FHE brothers over. Ya, we're a pretty good looking family. Good thing we're not really related! ;) Starting on the left and going around the table: Natalie, Kim Melissa, Rick, Jenna, Stu, Seth, Devin, Jake, and Dave.
Nothing like a Big Happy Family for Sunday dinner! Just for everyone's information, the first time I had spaghetti without plates (you know how we do it with the clear plastic wrap on the table and no utensils or plates) was with my FHE sisters at BYU. Great traditions often have their beginnings at college. What a fun time of life!
Here's my FHE family (minus Kim and the four other girls...they had to leave early). We had so much fun carving pumpkins. We're planning on roasting the seeds once we figure out how to do that properly. Thanks for letting me take home the giant pumpkin! It make a lovely "H" for FHE. Picture 1: Me carving...look at that form! Dad would be so proud! Picture 2: Our beautiful pumpkin carving skills Picture 3: My amazing FHE group. Back row left to right is Casey, Neil, and Peter. Front row left to right is Jenna, Me, Kendra, and Stephen.

In July of this year we spent 5 days with 47 of our favorite teenagers trekking as pioneers across the plains of Wyoming. It was the culmination of a year of preparation for all of us. This Kauai trip was our reward for surviving that experience. Actually, it was a marvelous and very spiritual, but exhausting experience. Kauai, on the other hand, was supremely relaxing but super fun. Some of my favorite things were the wild chickens roaming the island, the feral cats, the gorgeous sunrises on the beach, making new friends, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and generally just enjoying spending time with each other.
