Pumpkins

It was fun to carve pumpkins with the boys! They always have an idea of what they want & they always turn out so cool. Good job boys they look great.





These 2 are mine. We had an extra pumpkin & I was lazy about not wanting to makea crazy face!

McKay's 1st Band Concert

McKay decided to take band this year & he decided that he would like to play the bassoon. Yes you read that right. I was like you & had to look up what a bassoon actually looked liked & sounded like. He thinks it is great as do I. If he keeps up with it I will be even more happy. I have heard there are not a lot of bassoon players & so colleges are always very generous to people who play it! There is only one other person who plays the bassoon in his whole Jr. High. I thought he was amazing at his concert. I have heard his parts many times & I could totally pick it out. Good job Son we are so very proud of you. Stick with it!

Camping

For Fall Break this year we took the boys up to Skyline Drive. My Sisters family has some friends that own land up there & they had parked there trailer & four wheelers there for the summer. They invited us up for the weekend. It was a lot of fun. I did not get a lot of pictures because we were having to much fun playing. But we did a lot of game playing & four wheeling, & even got some fishing in. They boys love to go camping & they seem to get along so well when we do. Parker at first did not like the wheelers, but by the end of the 1st day we had hard time keeping him off them. All & all it was a great weekend. Thanks for the invite Rutlands we hope you ask us again!

This is Pepper we would throw sticks & rocks out in the water & he would try to go find them!


All the fun we had & the only pictures I got were when we went down to the lake!Oh well the kids had a blast playing in the mud!

Soccer

All 4 of my boys played soccer this Fall & then they will play again in the Spring. I love Fall soccer. The weather in Utah is so nice, not to hot or cold. But on the other hand I am not looking forward to Spring soccer. I have sat threw one to many soccer games in the snow or rain. It was a lot of fun to watch all of them play. Parker's age group is so fun they are like a magnet to the ball & just run around chasing the ball in a big group. Then Ryan & Preston are on the same team & it is fun to watch them start to catch on to how the game is really played. By the end of this season they were both scoring goals like crazy. McKay's age is great! The kids know what is going on & they are way into the game & it is so much fun to watch. I love that my boys love to play lots of things & try out different sports.





Some how I did not get a picture of McKay. Good thing they play again in the Fall:)

Preschool

My little man Parker started Preschool. He was a little nervous the first day but has really started to like it. He loves his teacher & always comes home happy & excited to tell me everything he did. They have show & tell every Tuesday & he is suppose to bring something that starts with the letter they are learning that week. He tries every week to bring some kind of super hero thing that goes along with that letter.

Showing off his cool backpack!!!

I know he looks so excited!!!


At school! He looks a little happier!

They have a Monster theme this year & this is his Monster!

1st Grade

This is Ryan on his 1st day of 1st grade. He is in Mrs. James class & could not be more excited to have her as his teacher!

2nd Grade

This is Preston on his first day of 2nd Grade. He is in Mrs.Cullimore's class & is very excited that she is not "OLD".

Jr. High

Yes you read the title of this post right. It says Jr. High. McKay started Jr. High this year. He is in 7th grade. Yes I have a 7th Grader. Crazy I know! He is taking all the regular classes along with band. Where he is playing the Bassoon. I hope he sticks with it so he can get his college paid for.

Rachel & Des

You know you are getting old when your Niece's & Nephew's are getting married & having Babies. I just had a 3rd one get married & I am sure it will not be long before they start having babies. Congrats you guys we love you both & are so happy for the two of you!!! Thanks for the fun things you had planned.

Battle Creek Falls

We took the boys on a really fun hike this summer. I have lived in Utah since I was 4years old & I have never been to this place. It was a really easy hike & it had a great waterfall at the end. What more could you ask for. It is really fun now that the boys are getting bigger that we can do these kind of things and that they can walk the whole way by themselves. It makes it a lot more enjoyable for Korey & I. I highly recommend taking your kids.
