Apple picking! I have been wanting to go apple picking for years! So we finally took the boys and went last Sunday to Gizdich ranch in Watsonsille. You can pick all kids of fruit at this farm, but you can only pick apples in September. It was fun to see all the little apple trees and figure out which apple was which (there are A LOT of different types). So when we got home I made my first homemade apple pie (my Mormon friends would be so proud!). It was delicious and so easy (okay not entirely homemade - the crust was pre made). Before the pie, Matt and I cooked Indian curry from a recipe I got from Take home chef (a tv show). It took a long time to prepare and cook but I must say it was YUMMY! So now as I type this I realize that Matt will be home soon and I have no idea what to make for dinner!!

Thought I would post a pic of my tennis group! Here are some of us with our tennis instructor Mark. My friend Susan (in the pink) decided to give our church tennis program a try and I thought I'd tag along and try it out too (this was over a year ago). I LOVE it and am so glad I did. Not only do I get some excercise but I am learning a new sport, get to be competitive and get to hang out with some great gals. Even though the courts are at my church, over half the people do not go to our church and kind of found out about us by accident or were told by a friend. I love that - meeting new people and getting to know them! We have so much fun playing and it cracks me up to see people's personalities come out on the court. We are even playing other tennis clubs now and Susan and I just create and ordered spiffy new shirts for us to wear so we will look cute on the courts!

Wow - I better catch up on some blogging! These pics are from Labor Day weekend when Matt and I, our family, his parents and his sister's family all went up to the Burney Falls area (about 5 hours from SJ). We also went to Mt. Lassen National Park. It was awesome. It is non active volcanic park and I would say it is right up there with Yosemite. The boys and men tried to fish some and we also checked out Burney Falls. It was so nice to get away and make some fun family memories.
