FAMILY VISITING AFTER OUR MISSION

Eric and Rozanne and family came all the way from their new home in Tennessee to welcome us home from our mission, Candace, Aaron & family came from Boise, Mike and his family joined in the fun as well as James. We had lots of fun? making the banana pancakes using our antique banana smasher from the islands, picking the potatoes that Aaron arranged for us, and all working together to get the yard cleaned up for the winter.

Wow! did everyone work hard on that hill flower bed. We pulled out big trees, big shrubs, cut all kinds of weeds, grass, and pruned bushes. It was a two day job. Thank you everyone. Alex, Eric, Dad, Jesikah and mom are in the picture; but everyone helped.



We all had so much fun finding potatoes to store for the winter. We filled up all kinds of boxes and hauled them home in the back of grandpa's pickup. Hayley and Jesikah found this heart potato. They just loved it! They found potato people----and it was a lot of fun.



Alex and Bryce found some great potatoes. They dug with a shovel and really found some great specimans. You can see Alex with his stash here.



Jarem was really having fun smashing the bananas. Grandma and Grandpa really
learned some great banana tricks in the islands. We made muffins and pancakes
