October is birthday time here. Both Taylor and Jon had great birthdays the last week. Taylor had a baby doll birthday with her friends. She got a ballet bar with a "Bella Ballerina" DVD, needless to say we have all been singing, "We love to dance, the Bella way, here on Swan Lake, Plie Plie!" I sing it in my sleep and Trevor has been singing it around the house, poor kid! Jon had a good birthday too, the kids enjoyed spending time with him and he enjoyed his german chocolate cake!





We usually take a drive between conference sessions to see the leaves, but we went early since a big storm was here all weekend. We saw the beautiful leaves in the canyon, then had a fire and roasted hot dogs and smores with Mandy and Ian. It was a lot of fun. I always love being in the mountains. Trevor was especially excited. He had to bring all his "gear" and was constantly trying to put something he shouldn't in the fire. We all made it home without injury and are always thankful for that!
