I always love to meet up with Utah relatives when we are out there. Today, I was able to enjoy lunch with my niece Jennifer, sister Joyce, sister Natalie and her little grandson Nixon, niece Kelsey, daughter Alison, and DIL Kim. Natalie's son, Nathan, who has just returned from his Mormon mission to Atlanta was, also, there but he was taking the picture. It was so nice to see him and talk about the good ole' South with him.
That afternoon, George and I went to Wilson Diamonds where our grandson, Bracken, works. Somehow George's rings have shrunk, and George was needing to get them sized a little bigger!
Our granddaughter, Jenna, is a cheerleader at Lone Peak High School. We were so excited that we got to go to a game and watch her cheer. (She is on the the far left.)
Since it was homecoming, the cheerleaders performed during the half time show. They did a fantastic job!
At one point, all the cheerleaders who were going with football players to the homecoming dance, got to wear their jerseys for the rest of the game. Jenna was going with No. 95.
So proud of Jenna for how hard she worked to make the team and for the great job she's doing!
It always makes Grandpa George and me happy when our grand kids include us with their friends. Lauren and her friends came to say, "Hi."
Jenna and her mom, Kim. Her dad was in Italy for work.
The next day, we took a ride up Provo Canyon to Sundance with John and Alison, and grandsons Bracken, Preston, and Brady.
It was such a beautiful fall day!
After eating lunch at the lodge, we boarded the chair lift for a trip up the mountain for a fantastic view of the mountains and valleys all dressed up for fall!
Made me think of my dad.
Bracken, John, Brady, and Preston all walked the trail to the highest peak along here. They they are at the very top of the path.
Coming down wasn't the easiest because of the steepness and because of the rocks that kept falling beneath their feet.
Such a fun time in such a beautiful place!
That evening was homecoming for our two granddaughters. These two beautiful granddaughters, Lauren and Jenna, have basically grown up together.
It was so fun seeing their excitement for their first homecoming dance!
Lauren and Jenna with their handsome dates!
It was, also, the night for the BYU - UCLA Football game. We were so excited to go to the stadium to watch the game and had such high expectations for our team!
It was nice to sit right near where my dad has his tickets, so we got to visit with him. He is a true blue BYU fan and comes to all home games!
It was fun that John and Alison came to the game, too, along with Bracken and Preston. Tyson had to stay back in California because of his school soccer games.
This picture was taken during half-time and not everyone in the family was here for the pic, but as you can see, we have lots of BYU fans in the Copeland and Rigby family!
The game certainly didn't turn out the way we would have liked, but the experience of all being together had to be the highlight!
Well, that's a wrap of a very quick, but activity-filled weekend. We started out the next morning after we went to church and heard Angie speak in Sacrament Meeting. On our way home, we stopped in Boise to see our brother-in-law, Larry, who is recovering after a fall. We were very concerned and wanted him to know of our love.
