The week before Halloween we went to Fog Willow's Pumpkin Patch and had a great time. We went for a hay ride and bought Pumpkins to carve and climbed and had fun.
The kids enjoyed dressing up, but their favorite thing was going out on Halloween night trick or treating.
They just love all the candy. Who would't?
Emily was running around the house and decided to vault on the ottoman in the front room. As she ran, jumped then landed, she caught her body with her arm. She cried and cried holding her arm and we decided to take her to Emergency that night arriving at about 9:30pm. They were get at the hospital and Emily was very brave!
The x-ray showed that she fractured her ulna next to the elbow. She had a temporary cast put on that night. Then on Monday we went to the orthopedic doctor and they put on her RED cast. This was not very much fun for her, because they had a hard time taking off the other cast. Poor girl. She has adjusted well and will be getting it off on Nov.10th. 
One picture is cute and the other has everyone doing a funny face so look closely.
Matthew looked so cute in his shirt and tie couldn't help myself; I had to take a couple of pictures of him so I could share it with you.
Deanna loves birthday parties because of the cake and ice cream. She especially likes to blow out the candles. She does not like to hear us all sing off tune. She covers her ears whenever she hears us sing. Deanna is a sweet 7 yr old with a lot of love to give her family. 
The Johnson Family Reunion was fun. It was great to be together and camp and be at the ocean. Thanks Megan for suggesting the idea and bringing it together. Being with my brothers and sistes is definitely irreplaceable.
This was so much fun, the fountains were beautiful. They play music and show pitures in the water of Peru, this event only shows at night so you get the full effect of the lights on the water. Here are few pictures. This park holds the world record for fountains.
The Trip to Machu Picchu was at first very difficult. We rode on a bus for 22hrs from Lima to Cusco and Joshua and I both got sick, it was horrible. We stayed with family who were kind and welcoming, if you are remotely related they take care of you. We experienced real humble home life. Cold showers, great food, bugs in your bed. The next day we took a taxi from Cusco to Ollantaytambo where you pick-up the train that takes you to the City of Machu Picchu this is different from the ancient city on the mountain. Then you take a 30min. bus ride to the top of the mountain and enter the park. This is where the awesome wonder of Machu Picchu takes place.
The Albornoz Family Reunion was great. This is the first time that all of the children have been home in 25 years. It also was Father's Day weekend, Abuelito Mario was so happy to have all of his children home it made him cry.
They family went on Sunday to the blessing of Myles Antone Casillas Amaral. It was a choice experence and everyone had a wonderful time. Antonio shared his testimony about the priesthood and his family.
The Albornoz and Swearingen Family at the Sacramento Temple. What a beautiful day!
Kara and Baby Myles stopped at my house for a vist. It was so wonderful to talk to Kara and hold my newest nephew Myles. He is so cute and adorable. Emily enjoyed having the baby at her house too. Myles looks just like his Daddy. 
Joshua has enjoyed baseball this year and has had a fun time playing and learning. He team has been great and his Coach terrific. GO BEES!
