Ice Skating, Fall Colors, ice skating and port a cathe

Emma skated in the Oktoberfest Thurs night and Sat afternoon. The first 4 pictures were taken Thurs. night. It was her showcase she skated to Lollipop. She skated so good. She had the facial expression and all. Great Job Emma.

This is the girl that she tied 3rd place with.

This is the group that competed

Saturday morning we got up and drove up Little Cottonwood Canyon. I love the cloud formation, the colors that appear this time of year. Being up there just reminded me of how much God loves us. To give us our seasons and the changing colors in the Fall. It was fun walking on the path in nature with family.

The picture really does not do it justice the picture below was a gorgeous site, one I would really like to paint one day.

I love the four cute face poking out of the trees.So this next picture, we were all walking along the path and the kids decided to climb the rock on the side of the path. Des and I were busy taking picture of them we heard Mark say good morning. But kept taking pictures. A few minutes later Mark said "did you see who that was" It was Pres. Uchtdor and his wife. I sometimes am oblivious to my surroundings. So the best I could do is zoom up on them, on the path.

And here is Emma' next session, skating to music from Willow. She really had a very tough group that she was competing against. Again she took 3rd place. We were very proud of her.

Grandma and Grandpa Great came to see watch Emma sat. My mom was there Thurs night and I didn't get a picture, dang it. It was a great weekend.

Then Monday morning Des had to be in to have her port a cathe in. She did very well through the surgery. Poor thing just 2 1/2 weeks ago she was under the knife so to say with the lumpectomy, and then again Monday. It is a device that is placed under the skin and a tube into a vein, that is where the chemo will be administered. It is Tues night as I am posting this blog, anticipating what tomorrow will bring, with her first session of chemo. I know how I am feeling I am a bundle of nerves. I can't even imagine what she is feeling right now. I just pray that the chemo will do what it is meant to do, get rid of the cancer, with no other side effects or damage. She has had many prayers on her behalf, I know that the Lord is with her and her cute family.
