My mother was holding Lauren at Rupp's and it was just so cute so we took a picture.

Here's Amelia with Great Grandma Evans at Rupp's Diner in Blackfoot, Idaho.

For Family Home Evening Amelia gave the lesson and it was on why families are important. So ask Amelia when you get a chance what she thinks about families. She drew a picture and everything. Needless to say it was a very short lesson, but sweet.

Amelia and her cousin Wesley at their Aunt Katie's soccer game, which she won!!!

So here is Amelia with her preschool group at the Swore Family Farm just north of Chubbuck. They did the corn maze and had a blast. The corn maze was an Idaho Agriculture Quiz. If you answered the question right at each intersection then you were led on to the rest of the maze otherwise you were led to a dead end and then had to return to the intersection where you made the wrong choice. Cute.

Here's some pics of just Lauren.

Here's a photo of my Grandpa Archibald and his new bride Sylvia.
Oh and Daisy the dog we picked out from...I think it was Commerce City, Colorado for my Grandparents before Grandma passed away. Daisy is a Pappy-Poo (Pappillon-tea cup poodle mix). The breeder does this on purpose. Apparently there is really quite a community out there of people who like little dogs. Daisy is a character.

Here's another. By the way this is up Buckskin Road in Pocatello.

And these are a few photos of us taking advantage of yesterday since it was such an amazingly beautiful day.

We went to the Idaho State Fair and this is the food competition section...we just thought it was a funny photo of Amelia. Jim and Julie entered a couple of their canned goods in the fair and did quite well. Jim got second place for his pickles. I like their pickles a lot so I think they should have gotten first, but Jim says that the person who got first had put a red chile in with theirs and I guess they did that last year as well and so he's been cheated out of first by a chile.
In China the pickles that we would buy didn't use dill, but they would put a red chile along with a baby carrot in with the pickles. Go figure.

This was taken at someone's house in Inkom, Idaho. Really I don't know whose house this was. The evening started out as an activity that Julie and Jim (Chris' twin brother) had invited us to. Jim is a counselor in the Bishopric of a University singles ward and so they and the Bishop are the only married people there with kids so they asked us to come. Well the activity got moved to another place (this person's house) and they had the coolest horse swing made out of a tire. And the lighting was just right so it was great. Christine (Kent's wife) was the photographer so the picture is much better than my usual fare. Enjoy.

Okay so it has been a bit since we have posted last. What can I say...been a bit busy. Anyway this first picture is of Amelia with her Uncle Kent's race tag that he had for the Hood to Coast relay, which took place near the end of August. His team did pretty good although I can't remmeber what he said their place was...sorry Kent. Well anyway, imaginative Amelia made the most of the tag and her cousin Ian's baby food wrappers.
