President Carter loves these Young Women of the

Leesburg Stake and this I'm sure of.

The theme for tonight was "Follow the Son"

Perfect!

Open House

The New Stake Center Open House
If I could choose a person to emulate it would be
this Sister. I haven't even known her very long.
What I do know is she loves the Lord and that she loves her scriptures.
She is graceful and has the light of Christ.
I'm very thankful that she was Natalie's teacher this year!




"The Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ"

Each time I'm given an assignment... and complain(alittle)

I'm always humbled by what I learn.

I'm thankful for the leaders that have faith and

trust me with opportunities that ALWAYS strengthen my testimony.

Rick looks so handsom.

A Trip to Dilliard G.A.

We decided we were ready for a change of weather. We took Natalie and went north to see the leafs!
We went Horseback riding this creek had quite a currant. I took this picture while holding on to my horse with one hand!!
Over the river and though the woods! Fun!



Guess who got a new toy?

This restaurant is Great! They serve family style and from the time you sit down until you eat is probably about 3 minute . Really good southern food and a wonderful family atmosphere.

These pictures were taken on the back porch .

look at the colors of the leafs.

I loved just sitting out rocking on the porch.

Pony Club Halloween Party

This was a really fun time. The horses and riders all dressed up.

One of my favorites was the woolly mammoth. Elvis was very funny too!

Natalie wanted to be a Indian girl.

Again great fun but SO HOT!!

Is it really almost November?

They got to trick or treat on horseback, as well as race their horses to bob for apples!

(they had their own buckets) Everyone bought food to share, we have met some very

nice horse girls!

That's Anna! Great costume!


Beautiful little princess and pony.

Katelyn with her two sister in laws and her mother in law.
They did an amazing job!
Wow!!! Go McGrath Girls!

Katelyn, crossing the finish line. It dosen't matter how old your children get,
I still had a huge lump in my throat as we cheered her on!!!

Way to go Kate!

Okay, so this was not the best moment. If you look close you'll see some tears

.As she came by all I heard her say was "I couldn't breath"

The swim in the dark lake with people kicking and hitting her in the face along with

a lady pulling on her back leg almost did her in but.... A very kind women saw she was having trouble and swam right beside her the rest of the way.
