A blessed September

Brian and Scottee's little Oaklee was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on September 15th...her birthday!  She and only one other little girl was baptized. Oaklee got to go first which was a real relief for her because she told me, "I hope I get to go first because I don't want to be in that big bath tub with all of those other people's sins."




Devin and Allison's sweet little Molly had her second birthday on the 20th. What a doll! She is such a precious little lady!
 Two month old, Taylor Sue was given her  name and a blessing by her daddy, Devin on September 30th. (Rich had been at Church, but needed to get back to his family because they were all singing together in their ward Primary program. BTW they did a great job with that! Millie (2 years) stole the show with her own rendition of who knows what!)
 Greg got his license! There is a lawyer in our family! What a huge step for him. He is now living in Pinetop AZ (4 hour drive from our house) practicing criminal law. We are proud of his great efforts and hard work!

 My bestie, Herbie picked me up at the SLC airport September 27th and took me up to Bear Canyon in Provo canyon where she and her husband own and run MAX Ziplines. I was too chicken to ride the 7 zips, but I sure enjoyed the autumn leaves!
 I got to spend three whole days with my parents in Orem! Dad took us on a long ride up Provo canyon and over the summit into Midway. Along the way we stopped at Cascade Springs, which is a mountain retreat that reminds me of a Japanese garden and where John and I realized we were MFEO! (Meant for each other!) 38 years ago!
 My sister, Nancy came from Sandy, UT to spend almost two days and a night. It was even better than old times being with her AND mom and dad! We watched General Conference on TV with no interruptions or interference! We thrilled at the new revelation announced that the missionary age for young men is now 18, if desired and 19 for young women! A-Mazing! I am so thankful to be alive in this exciting time of the world's history and to know where I can look for a sure path to guide me through the turbulence of this life...our living prophets and to Heavenly Father!

"Play doh" has given my grand kids and me happy times together! 
 Greg drives down from Pinetop on weekends and brings his cute kids to stay with us. During their play in the dress-ups, Ande became Tigger! I think this Tigger costume, which was given to Brooklynn for her third birthday, has been on each one of our grand kids at this age.
 Is that Steve Erkle? Oh, no, it's Sam playing in the dress-ups too!
 Family pictures! We number 32 now!  Isn't Brooklynn a beaut!
 Gotta love Mollie's cute face here!
 John, Anya, Adam and Ella
Elle, Rich, Treslee, Nina, Millie and Wesley
Charlee, Scottee, Brian, Oaklee and Jaxson
 This is living!!!

 Ande, Greg and Bastian
 Ryan, Mindy, Ashlyn and Carter
 Sam, Allison, Devin, Taylor and Mollie
A random shot I love!




Wouldn't you agree that our September was blessed! Or maybe that the Barry family, particularly, I am blessed! I sure feel that way!

That was an eventful month! Seeing Taylor on your lap in the family picture really does make me notice a resemblance!
