Happy Halloween!




After hearing there was a shortage of candy at the "Trunk or Treat" party last year put on by the three Ephrata Wards, we decided do go this year and do our part to help contribute to this once a year goulash tradition. We had fun, but it was especially fun to see all of the kids come around in their costumes their ages ranging from infant up to mid-teens and even some adults. There were some pretty interesting characters, however my favorite were the little witches, especially this one little group of three witches. One was pudgy with a green face. She was adorable. Also, one adult came around with a blue paper snowflake hanging from the front of his hat. We busted up when we asked him what he was and he blew the snowflake and said, "I'm a snowblower". Ha Ha!

Wedding Day!

If you really know me, you know that I have a hard time making decisions. I could not decide which wedding pictures to post as I loved them all. So, since I'm computer illiterate and don't know how to do a slide show, I've settled on this one for now. We had a wonderful wedding day, August 22nd at the Historical Wadley Farms in Lindon, Utah. Everything went off pretty much without a hitch and it was a gorgeous day. Holly did a wonderful job putting it all together and I think she and D.J. were very happy with how the day went. We love you Holly & D.J.!!!
