Oregon Coast...

We decided to take a roadtrip to the Oregon Coast in the fall, which is different than our usual springbreak trip.  We couldn't believe how beautiful the drive was.

Once we got to Lincoln City, we went straight to Mo's for dinner.  It was yummy.  We got some dessert to go.  We stayed at the Seahorse Inn again, but this time we got a balcony room that had a separate room for Brady which was nice since Brady was starting to get a little cold.

The next morning, Scott and I went for a walk on a beach.  We couldn't believe how high the waves were, and the sand was a lot more packed down.  It was so fun to watch the waves.  We later learned that we just happened to be there at the end of the king tides.  We will have to try to make it another time when we can see it at its peak.

We had lunch at the Beach Walk in Pacific City

I had pork fried rice.  Scott had pad thai with steak and shrimp, and Brady had a buffalo chicken sandwich.  After our lunch, we drove to the Tillamook Cheese Factory.  We got some yummy ice cream and some cheese samples.  We also got Wade a couple of little toys and Cole and Kacie some chapstick.  Brady got a cute sweatshirt and we got some extra sharp cheese and some samples of different jellies.

On our drive back to our hotel, we saw this amazing sunset.  I really wish we could have gotten back to our hotel to see it from our room, but at least we got to pull over for this amazing view.

Sunday morning, Brady and I went for a walk before we headed home

As we were driving through Portland, I got this amazing shot of Mt. Hood.  We had lunch in Troutdale from a cheesesteak food truck.  We had a great trip.  We might have to change and start making our Oregon Coast trips in the fall from now on.

 

Elizabeth's Blessing...

It was a special day when Elizabeth Sue Stubbs received her baby blessing.  After the sacrament meeting, we had to meet with the Stake President.  We both thought that Scott was getting a new calling, and to both of our surprise, and Scott's relief, I got called as the 1st counselor in the Stake Relief Society.  Liz Rohrbacher is the president, Lisa Johnston is the 2nd counselor, and Nancy Anthony is the secretary.  I'm excited to work with these amazing women. It was interesting that I listened to a podcast on the way home from Rexburg that covered the organization and the history of the Relief Society.

Homecoming...

Lindsay went to a couple of different Homecomings.  

She went to one with Brayden Draper and another with Keegan Johnston.  

Looks like it was fun, and she looked so pretty!

 

Wade's 1st Halloween...

Thursday the 30th, I was feeling really sad about missing Wade's 1st Halloween.  So around 1:00, I decided that Brady and I would still try to go, so I went home, and we packed up really fast and headed to Rexburg.  The next morning, Kacie and I tried getting Wade's footprints on this cute plaque Mom gave them.

Wade made the cutest little Bambi...

Cole put him on the rocks and said he needed to be out in the wild, haha!

This is such a cute little family.

It was hard to say goodbye on Saturday, but we needed to get back for Elizabeth's baby blessing.  

It was a fast and fun trip.
