Denver's Birthday and Conference Weekend

End of September means canning green chili and Denver's Birthday!  One Saturday we decided to buy two big bags of green chili and we spent the afternoon canning them.  Canning is actually really fun! We had fun just hanging out!

 

Denver turned 26 this year! 

 Conference weekend we went to Round Valley to watch Tanner's football game in St. Johns and I feel bad I only got this picture! We were going to take pictures with Tanner after the football game but he got injured in the last 6 minutes of the game with a concussion.  So he had to be ambulanced to the hospital in Round Valley so we didn't get any pictures.  Tanner was okay thankfully!  The game was super fun to watch and Tanner is awesome!  Daley had fun cheering for him!

 

 

We spent the rest of the weekend listening to General Conference and we went and helped Jennie and Kayde get some wood for the winter.

We think everyone should have twin brothers.  They sure come in handy when you have big projects that require hard labor! 

 The kids had fun snuggling with Nana and Papa this weekend.

 We are so glad Tanner was okay!

 Man I am so lucky to have a hard working, handsome, mountain man!

 As we were driving home from the weekend I realized Denver and I had no pictures of where we had our first date.  It was homecoming in 2003 and he took me here for dinner before the dance with some other friends.  On the way home we stopped by the Candy Shop and I got some Sweetarts.  I asked him if he wanted another "sweetart" and everyone in the car thought I called him a "sweetheart."  He is still my "Sweetart."

 I love this picture of Daley reading to Case.  She is such a great big sister!

Labor Day

We went up to the Brown Reunion for Labor Day this year!  We had fun playing outside with the cousins, eating junk food, hanging out with Papa and Nana!

 End of August we decided to go up to see the cabin.  Some cousins of mine put in a loft above the bedroom in the cabin so we had to go and check it out.  Well Denver and I hadn't seen it yet.  We stopped by KFC and grabbed a bucket of chicken as a tradition of the Platt Family since my Dad was a little boy.  We drove up the windy road up to Turkey Flat to the cabin.  Its really cool to think these cabins are 100 years old!  I have so many great childhood memories growing up here during the summertime.  We loved going down to Cow Canyon and playing in the tunnel which was a little scary!  I also remember eating chicken noodle soup and all of us cousins would pass around the salt and pepper a thousand times adding a little bit everytime it came around.  I also remember my Dad always telling us scary bear stories and being scared they were going to break into the cabin during the night.  Us cousins always had fun building forts, playing cards (Nurtz was the favorite game), making crowns out of wild flowers and sticky weed, playing knife games with the old man next door, swinging in the huge tractor swing, sliding down slide rock, and chocolate fudge when Grandma B would come visit.

We sure enjoyed the cooler weather and spent the afternoon reminiscing!
