Payson Onion Days

Since Rachael and Clint moved to Payson six years ago, we have celebrated Labor Day by attending the Payson Onion Days parade and festivities. Most years the weather is still warm and we're looking for shade and a cool breeze. This year, however, it was cold and rainy. The parade started out with the sun shining, but before we got to entry 10 out of 80, the skies opened up and it was a downpour. Good thing we had our umbrellas, but even then we all got pretty soaked :( We left the parade early and headed back to Rachael and Clint's house for some hot chocolate :) Then we went to the movies and saw Kung Fu Panda. It was a fun day!!

Cory asked to be keeper of one of the umbrellas

Happy Birthday Mason!

Sunday, August 31st, was the Sunday for our monthly family dinner. This month we celebrated Mason's 12th birthday. I can't believe that he is old enough to be ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood, but he is. He has grown into an AWESOME young man. We love you Mason!
