Up to Bat!!

I wanted to get a few pictures of you Jett so you can look back to each season and see how much you have grown. Mom and dad really enjoyed going to your games and we are sad it's over. Good job pitching!!!

I have loved my new calling as the Activity Day leader. It is so fun to have my daughter and all her friends over every 2 weeks. We had a Halloween photo shoot and made really cute frames to put their pictures in. The girls had a blast!!! We also decorated cookies and played "pin the nose on the pumpkin". I have such a great group of girls.

Another Great Halloween!!

I sure love Halloween and wish we could enjoy it a little bit longer. The kids and I really took advantage of this month and did a lot of fun things. This month we were so busy I really don't know where October went.

I had family come over on Halloween for some yummy chili and bread. We made home made root beer and hung out outside as trick or treaters came by. Uncle Tim, Uncel Brian, Dad and Grandpa Ron took all the kids around the neighborhood. They had such a blast with all their cousins. Roc and Macey decided at the end of the night they did not want their candy so they both dumped their candy into Spencer's bag. I was sure excited to get rid of it!(sorry Audra)

3 generations, WOW my grandma looks good (91)

You can see on the right the candy Roc wanted and on the left is the candy he wanted to get rid of. ( Notice the apple in hand)

This could not be a bmore fitting picture for her costume

My friend told Roc he looked cute in his costume the day of his school halloween party and with out him saying a word he went up stairs took off his costume and would not dress up. I don't think cute was the word he was looking for in his "Optimus Prime" Costume. I was shocked it affected him that bad!!

My SWEEEET Pirate

Tater-Tot

I had to throw in some decor

Miley has been caught in some pretty scary falls. The last picture she fell off a little bike she tried to get on and scraped her face all up. I walked into the kitchen and playroom to find her like this.

Our little Garden

I went to California for a few days and came home to this. Mason and the kids planted a garden with romaine lettuce, bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, and broccoli. The kids are so excited to see the vegetables. It will be awhile, but we cannot wait.

First Mini Meet

Macey had her first mini meet and was very nervous. She did such a great job. We were so proud of her.

What a Champ!!

Tate is the model patient for getting his teeth cleaned. They could not believe how well behaved he was for 2 years old. He loves to get his teeth cleaned. It is nice that they have not seen the other side of Tate yet. Ha Ha

My Father N Law Rocks!!!

Ok, this Mason's first post. But I wanted to share how awsome my dad is. First of all last November, he competed in the Tempe Ironman and finished first in his age group (65 -70). He finished under 12 hours, which qualified him to compete in this years Ironman world championship in Kona, HI. I can't quite comprehend the exhaustion that he felt.

Growing up He often would wake me up at 5 in the morning to go on 50 mile bike rides with him. So I understand the pain involved in riding long distances, but what they do is unbelievable. First He swam 2.2 miles in the ocean, then biked for 11o miles, with extreme winds and heat in excess of 100 degrees, finally he tops of the day with a full marathon. I am so proud of Dwight for doing this, it makes me want to compete in some thing physical as well. Go DAD.

Getting Ready for the race.

Out of the water he was 26th place out of 35. But during the bike, which he dominates, he worked his way up to 10th. He had a strong run and ultimately finished 10th in his age group. Not bad for 65 against the best in the world.

Congratulations. Sharon was there for him the entire race.

Conference weekend

Fall break for our school this year fell on conference weekend so we decided to take the kids to Utah and play for a week. We had such a great time hanging out with the kiddos with no tv and internet. It is amazing how much time we spent together and how many games we played as a family. We really enjoyed taking Macey( for her first time) to Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions of cenference. She really enjoyed it and wanted to go again on Sunday.

we went to dinner with our good friends Frank and Jaime Caliendo. We sure love you guys!!!

Macey's testimony

Macey's friend bore her testimony on Sunday so Macey decided to go up as well. We are so proud of you for your continuing example. I'm so happy you chose to go up and went to get dad so he could hear you. You told me you felt the holy ghost!!

Constitution Week Celebration

We decided to go to Mesquite High School to celebrate Constitution Week. We had a great time and the kids enjoyed lots of fun games plus learned some history. They have done this for the last 8 years and we just learned about it this year.
