California Vacation

The first week of October we flew out to CA. We had a lot of fun visiting with so much of our Stubblefield family! While we were there Benjamin got his first hair cut, Grandma gave Hannie her first manicure and Jared tamed a savage beast :). Hannah had a great time with her cousins at home at Grandma and Grandpa's and away at Bishop's Pumpkin Patch and Discovery Kingdom. Also, while we were out that way Jared attended an Activator Seminar in San Jose and we were able to visit with our dear friends in Hayward. It was wonderful being back in Hayward with everybody for a while. After returning home we had our Fall Festival which included doughnut eating, bobbing for apples and pumpkin carving! Jared attended another Seminar in Atlanta and received his Proficiency Rating, was named President of the Activator Club, started a new job and has begun a proposal to the Administration requesting that Activator be allowed in the Clinic at Sherman College. We also got to go to Sherman College Fun Day and watch Jared compete in the obstacle course. Yesterday we headed out to Niven's Apple Farm

and enjoyed a hay ride, baby animals, fresh cider, apple pie and a wheal barrow ride around the farm yard for Hannah. Today we drove up into the NC mountains to see the amazing fall leaves. October was a fun month!
(Seems like every time we took photos this month Hannie was wearing a green shirt and overalls :)...so here's one last pic)

Darling children! I love how Hannah and Benjamin look like siblings...and how they both look like combinations of Debbie and Jared. It's killing me that Hannah is so grown up and I have no idea what she is like. Last time I saw her she was 3 months old! Y'all going to come out to Utah anytime soon, by chance?
Thanks for inviting me to see your blog...and I loved seeing updated pictures!
