A Visit from the Barbens

Jon and his sister.

We had beautiful fall weather this weekend. You can see the kids had a lot of fun playing in the freshly fallen leaves. They're really quite a perfect toy.

The Barben's drove this awesome van up from St. George. They said they got quite a few double takes as people drove by. I can imagine so.

The rest of these photos are of the kids later Sunday evening.

Most pictures I take of Hyrum turn out pretty silly because he enjoys being goofy. You can see here he actually wanted a picture taken of himself and even posed for the camera. That's kind of the way my Hyrum is. It's near impossible to force him to do anything; however if it's his idea, he'll do a great job at it.

Hyrum's a little self conscious of his one front tooth right now, hence the non-smile in these school pictures. When I asked him why he didn't smile he shared that he thinks he looks funny with only one front tooth. Just for the record, Buddy, I think you look adorable!

Just as a side note, he lost his front teeth over 3 years ago and is just now getting them back.

RETAKES:

Hyrum's reading skills amaze me. He enjoys reading and does very well at it. Here he is reading Lydia a bed time story. She sure is a lucky sister!

Jon's sister, from St. George, and her family stopped in for a quick visit this weekend. They're debating in moving to the area so they came for the weekend to check things out. We're hoping they decided to come join us:)
