Recently, Lexi got to film a commercial with Nana Anita. She was so excited to get all dressed up and get "fancy" for her job.
Having a tea party with Nana came easy because it is one of her favorite things to do.
She just had to remember not to look at the camera.
So keep your eye out for the Altius commercial featuring Nana Anita and Lexi.
The kids filled their fall break with lots of fun activities but first there was some work. Peyton tried mowing the lawn for the first time. Don't be alarmed I was close by the whole time and Kempton tried to help as well.
We participated in Run from the Sun, a fundraiser for Christina McEvoy who is 32 and has stage IV melanoma. Christina married my friend from high school and they have two cute young boys.
My friends from high school and USU did a fabulous job organizing the event.
Peyton finished 3rd overall for the mile. Way to go buddy! My race didn't turn out quite how I had planned. I signed up for the 5K but I missed my turn off for the 5K and ended up running the 10K which had started a few minutes earlier. I wanted to quit but I ended up finishing in the top 10.
It was neat to see all the support for Christina and Eric from our high school friends, many we had not seen in years.
Then we headed to Logan with a stop to buy pumpkins along the way.
There is nothing as good as getting your pumpkin right from the patch in Cache Valley.
The kids also enjoyed going to the corn maze, swimming, and the movie with Nana Anita. 
This weekend I was able to take part in two great causes. The first was a dinner and silent auction to raise money to make a running trail to be named in honor of Bunny Bradley.
Bunny died from injuries sustained in a bicycle accident. She was an amazing wife, mother, sister, and friend. Many of her friends came together to contribute in honor of her passion for life, fitness, and the outdoors.
It was a beautiful evening filled with many of her friends and family.
I was there just to help but was inspired by the love for Bunny and her memory.
The second event we attended was "Spread Magic Around" a carnival benefiting the Coleman Family. Whit and Lindsey Coleman have two young children who are fighting SMA type I, a terminal disease of the spinal nerves.
The students of Olympus High and others in the community came together to plan this great event. There were so many fun activities for kids and families. Kempton insisted on getting the bean bag in the hole even if it meant breaking the rules.
Peyton and Dustin were great cookie designers. Actually, I think they were more interested in eating the cookie then making it look good.
Lexi and Janie were front row and ready to be impressed by the magic show.
Kempton was not too impressed with the magic show and decided to fall asleep instead. It was neat to see how the community came together to support this awesome family. Whit, Lindsey, and their children Jonas and Maggie are such a great example of faith, love, and optimism.
