Tanner's 19th birthday

 Tanner's birthday was this weekend, he turned 19.  

He moved into Logan this past Summer and is going to 

Utah State University.  He bought a motorcycle this summer

because he thought it would be cool and also less expensive to

drive (and he could afford it).  He knew that Winter was going 

to come but I don't think he really "believed it would matter".  He

figured he'd just work it out.  Well, its all fine and good except that 

he works for Jimmy Johns and delivers sandwiches so he has to have

transportation.  Its cold on his bike.  So being the nice parents that we

are, we bought him the coat he wanted (from Jimmy Johns), some warm

motorcycle gloves and long johns.  As long as it isn't wet and icy outside 

he will be able to ride his bike.  And atleast now he will be a little warmer.

 This is Tanner with Garrett.  They are both so

fun to be around.  Garrett was wearing this silly

suit coat that he got at the Deseret Industries the

other day.  Hilarious!  Tanner wanted a cheesecake

for his birthday.  YUM!

Joanna and Tanner share the same birthday

(she is Garrett's mom and our good friend).  Tanner

said, "Wow, how am I supposed to compete with that cake?"

Its fun to have him come home on Sundays to visit.  Now if 

we can convince him to cut his hair......Sure do love that kid!

Saying goodbye

 Brandon got a job in Telluride Colorado!  We are so 

excited for him but sad to see them leave!  Brandon left

2 1/2 weeks before Breeann because they couldn't get into

the house they rented until Nov 1st.  So we moved all of the

household possessions into our garage and Breeann stayed with us.

 Saying goodbye

 This is the beautiful view between Price and Moab

Miles and miles of lovliness...

 Evidence that someone actually lived in this lovliness

at one time...

 I do want to go back to that price of gas...

 Now its getting pretty.  This is close to Moab.

 As we were driving we passed an area like this and 

someone had built their house into the rock.  It was so 

cool, but I didn't realize what it was until we had almost

past it and didn't have the camera out.  

 Some wild goats ran across the road and then climbed 

up the mountain.

 Almost to their new house, this dirt road was pretty

steep and like a roller coaster.

 This is their new yard, these deer were there to welcome

them home.

 Side yard

 Reunited!  They are renting a little double wide

trailer out in the country in Norwood, Colorado.  They

have 3 acres too!  

 The watering trough in their pasture.  Greg thinks they

should get a Yak.  They also have a chicken coop in

their back yard.  I think they should get chickens!  

I would!

 Posing their pasture

Since we drove the Uhaul truck out to Colorado, we 

rode the train home.  Its so much more comfortable

than an airplane!  And CHEAP!  It only cost

us $78 for the two of us one way.  I think this will

be our mode of transportation when we go visit them!

It was sad to say goodbye but what a fun adventure for them!
