Fall Soccer

Nonnie and Grandpa have been asking for video of soccer games played this Fall. So, here it is....and it's a little long, so you might want to get a few snacks and settle in for some fun watching. Andrew scores 3 goals in this video. He had a great season and had a fun coach and team.



Spencer was very excited to play soccer this Fall as he has sat on the sidelines for several years watching Andrew play. Practices were okay, but actually playing in a game was a bit too scary for Spencer and so he stayed on the sidelines cheering his team on to victory!



Way to go, Soccer Boys!!!!!

Harvest Time

For Family Home Evening we went to our garden and harvested our pumpkins and gourds. Compared to last year, our pumpkins didn't do as well, but we have enough for our family. Our gourds did fabulous! It's always so fun to harvest what we have grown!

Before our harvest.....






After our harvest.


I LOVE Fall time!!!!!

Adventures near Ashton

Several weekends ago, we drove to Ashton for Nathan's Aunt Leona and Uncle Bruce's 50th Wedding Anniversary party! We had many adventures on our way to Ashton and while we were there.

On our way, we had a total blow out.

Our dad is AMAZING!!! He had it almost completely changed before AAA arrived!

This is what we did while we waited...throw rocks by the railroad tracks.

While we had our tire fixed we found a fun park in St. Anthony.





We were able to stay in a beautiful cabin in Island Park. We wish we could have spent many days exploring the area and relaxing in the cabin.


The cabin had Disney Channel!!!! What a treat for us!!!


I wish we would have taken pictures of the actual party. Nathan did the decorating and their cabin looked SO nice! We had such a wonderful weekend playing with all our cousins and hope we can do it again soon!!!

Girls Night Out

Since the boys were going to have some fun camping out, Sarah and mom decided to have some fun of their own. We went to see Seven Brides for Seven Brothers at the Starlight Mountain Theater in Garden Valley with Nancy and Emily Hansen. We had SO much fun and LOVED the whole evening!! We hope to make it our tradition and go every year when the boys go on their campout!!

Father Son Campout

A few weekends ago, Nathan took the boys to Greyback Gulch Campground for our ward's Father Son Campout. They brought hotdogs to roast and s'mores to make over the campfire. Andrew's favorite part of the campout was that they told ghost stories around the campfire until past midnight and that they (Andrew and Nathan) were some of the last to go to sleep. I heard that Spencer fell asleep in his camping chair and Benj put himself to sleep in the tent sometime around 8. They had a great time and luckily all had naps the next day!!

First Day of School 2009

Yeah for the first day of school!! We are thrilled with our teachers and excited for a new year!!!!

Sarah with Mrs. Brooks

Andrew with Mr. Conant

Spencer with Mrs. Ramsey

Ready for the Season

We went to R.C. Willey today to buy Sarah a mattress. We had no idea until we got there that they were having a Pre-Season BSU party. They had games for the kids to play (which they all won and got candy) and they got to have their picture taken in BSU style. We entered EVERY drawing possible to win tickets to a BSU game. I think they all look SO cute and ready to cheer on BSU!!!


Anyone else ready for Fall?
