Lesa Visits NYC

I was able to go to New York City for the 3rd Annual Wasatch Girls Trip. Thank you to Sara for hosting us and to Sara, Denett, Brittoni, Amber for the good times. Some highlights of the trip - Brittoni's first gambling experience, secret shopping rooms on Canal Street, lots of walking, lots of good food, Denett navigating the subway by herself, Sara's negotiations with pedicab drivers, making signs for the Today show, and Amber's dangerous navigating on one-way streets.

Nannie's Visit

Thank you Nannie! You helped Steve and the kids so much while I was out and about in New York City and I know we all loved having you here for a visit. And I even saw Nannie on the trampoline with both kids :-) We will get to spend time with the Hough side of the family in Tennessee over Thanksgiving. Looking forward to it!

Chocolate

This is after a long day with potty training (Jake) and toliet paper unrolling (Stevie). I said to Jake, "I need some chocolate." And he responded, "Me too." It really did help!

Labor Day BBQ

Another great barbeque at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Everyone enjoyed a pork chop dinner and a rough and tumble football game. Duff's leg seems to be healing nicely as evidenced by these pictures. We also can see that Grandma can throw a football, Stevie loves corn on the cob, and that Kace can keep up with the big boys. Looking forward to the next barbeque.

Let's Blog!

Hey Draper Clan-

This is my new idea of how to keep in touch with each other's lives. We all know how difficult it is to feel close and keep in contact with all 30+ of us. I'm going to try to use this frequently to journal and document our lives, as well as share it with others.

See if it works for you, or maybe you will have other ideas or things that work for you and your family that you can share. We can link all of our sites together.

Side Note (Dad...I need to figure out how to get birthday and anniversary reminders to you since that is important from myfamily.com. And it will be nice to get an email group list set up for you as well.)

Another Side Note: Run Fast Casey and Lindsay. You are amazing!

I love you all and feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful family.
