Fall Festivities

I love the fall! Pumpkins, fall leaves, perfect weather, fun activites, and yes, even football!

Arrow of Light



Great Job Braden. He received his Arrow of Light and all of the Webelos pins except one. Braden is very driven and I am so grateful for that. Keep up the good work.

Katelyn's 6th Birthday

Katelyn turned 6. She got a bike from her Dad and Mom. She also got spoiled from her other famly and friends. For her birthday she went to Boondocks with Grandma Orme and had birthday breakfast.

Katelyn also had her first friend birthday party. She wanted a "gum party". We made gum necklaces, had a gum cake, played games, ate dinner and cake and ice cream, watched a movie and did a treasure hunt.

Katelyn wanted a "late night"and she got it. One of the girls said, when I was taking her home, "I bet my mom and dad are already sleeping. This is the latest I have ever stayed up."

MARY POPPINS

MARY POPPINS here we come! Lucky Aubrielle and McKenzie got to have facials, manicures, pedicures and a fancy luncheon with their grandma, aunts and cousins. Then off to the Broadway we went. I was so completely amazed at the magic on the stage. How did she pull all of that out of her purse?  It was so amazing, we are going to do it again when Beauty and the Beast come. Thank you mom for doing this for us.

Botulism? How did she get that?

Taylor was diagnosed with botulism after being in Davis Hospital for 5 days and then transferred by ambulance to Primary Children's Hospital. There she had an nasaljejunum tube placed and was fed by that until she received her strength back.

Taylor was in Primary's for 16 days and was a miracle baby. On Sunday, she received her "Baby BIG" immune globulin (which cost our insurance company $40,000- thank you IHC) and then progressively got better. She may hold the record for the fastest baby to get better with botulism from Primary's. I know we were blessed by our Father in Heaven. I am so grateful for the priesthood in my life and grateful for the strength the gospel gives our family.

THANK YOU to all that help throughout these 3 weeks. We are so blessed to have so much support from family and friends. THANK YOU again and again.

Hintze Family Reunion

The Hintze Reunion! What a busy, fun week. On Monday, we rode a train into SLC, visited temple square and the church owned buildings, played in the water at gateway, had FHE, and watched an outdoor movie. Tuesday we went boating at Pineview Resivoir.

Wednesday we went to Lagoon. Thursday we ran a 5K race, swam at Oakridge Country Club and had a family history meeting. Friday the girls had a tea party while the boys golfed. That night, we went to Jolyn's house for an extended Hintze Family Reunion. Saturday we went to Logan for a Poole Family Reunion. Sunday was Tyson's Homecoming.

Lots of fun memories but not many pictures. Why do I not use my camera more?

Another great year at Lake Powell!! What could be better than good food, great company, a fabulous view and exciting adventures right out the houseboat doors. This is mine and my kids FAVORITE vacation. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Orme for letting us go with you.
