Shadow puppets

Alexi went with Jason and Rhett up to Salt Lake to enter some of Jason's photos in a gallery show.

While waiting my creative daughter figured out a way to make awesome shadow figures with her hands.

She made the shadows look like they were paper angels connected together. They can flap their wings and dance.

Yeah! It's Fall!

Mercedes and Alexi enter a bubble blowing contest at the ward party.

Of course, Maggie and G-Dogg wanted to enter the contest too. If for nothing else they got a piece of bubble gum.

Our children plus a stray little boy who snuck into the photo.

Happy Birthday, Alexi!
