| While I was in Mississippi with a new baby, David was in Kanab helping to build a playset.  |

| Abbie likes it |
 |
| It's a big hit with Lincoln |
 |
| Spencer likes it too but Mom is cautious |

Building a Playset
Visiting Ranchester
David and I visited Brett's family the week after they moved into their new home. They were tired but happy. I failed to get any photos of the house - sorry. It is a very nice house. Leslie, you will need to post some photos for everyone.

I'm back!
Honestly, it is not my fault that I haven't blogged for a while. After returning from Kanab the 2nd week of January I tried to blog Christmas and found that all the photos on my camera had been erased - so sad, no photos of Christmas! However it turned out that Tammie had copied them onto her computer and erased them off my camera card by accident. I finally got a copy but not in time to blog before I left for Mississippi the middle of February. Now I am home and will try to put up a few blogs. I'm not sure I'll get back to Christmas or not. That seems like eons ago.

| Doesn't look much like our wedding photo! Dad and I needed a photo for our mission papers so we asked Landon Wild to take some for us. He did a good job with a difficult subject. This is the photo we sent into SLC. |

Things we do
So my last blog was about places we go. This is about things we do when we stay home. We exercise - I got David involved with my "Fitness tree" this month. This is a photo of mine but his looks the same (except that he missed a day!
 |
| I haven't missed a day yet |
 |
| I do silly crafts - hope your kids are enjoying this one. |
I do crafts and make quilts. This one took more time than I anticipated.
 |
| Daisy's quilt |
This is what David does - he makes things beautiful for me. He repainted the master bath and I got new towels and things. He also stripped the bedroom wallpaper and textured and painted. We got new carpet and it really looks nice.
 |
| It's the same but different |
 |
| I like the colors |
 |
| I picked the color to go with the quilt Grandma Schwieder gave me It looks really nice. |
David and I like to take classes. I took two water color classes this fall.
I'm learning but I have a LONG way to go

We also celebrate birthdays. Lots of them
 |
| David's birthday - he has binary candles for 62. I don't understand but the menfolk did - it's about computers |
 |
| Hailey laughing at a birthday card |
 |
| Katelyn made her own cake this year I can't believe she is really 12. |

These are just some of the things we keep busy with. Life is good!
Places we go
This summer and fall we have been visiting. In August we went to Wyoming to see Brett and Leslie and their family. In September we went to Mississippi to Zachary's baptism. In October we went to southern Utah to spend Halloween with the VanDykes. Then in November we took my dad to SLC to a Condie reunion. All four places were well worth the travel, and the company was superb. It was great to see everyone!

| Hiking with the VanDykes |
While we were in Kanab we went on a hike to see a horseshoe bend in the Colorado river. I was a bit slow but I hiked it okay. (I was quite proud of myself.)
 |
| Cool rock formations |
 |
| The Colorado River before it gets to the Grand Canyon |
Actually, I was more nervous about the heights and the sheer cliffs than about the hike itself. They need rails or something. This was as close as I dared get.
We took a photo of most of the descendants of PM Condie who were at the reunion. These are my aunts, uncles, cousins and sisters and of course my dad.
more summer photos
So, I never finished posting summer pictures. Of course I still have lots more photos but these ones are cute!

Our yard this fall
This Fall we put up a fence around the back yard. It looks nice. We also got the play set area finished with a border and rubber fill.
Just before Yellowstone closed we took my Dad for a drive. It went much better this time - no flat tire! It was chilly but beautiful.
