Fall 2011

First Snow of the Season

Halloween was perfect and warm, but the next morning we woke up to this. It was so weird how it just blew in over night, but the kids were glad it held out so they could trick-or-treat till the lights went out at all the houses.

Halloween 2011

Just before our Ward Fall Festival

Isaac (Cookie Monster), Lucy (Angel), Adam (Cowboy), Londyn (Fairy)

Runaway Cookie Monster....

Isaac just wanted all the suckers from Halloween. He always had to have 2 -- one for each hand.

Young Living Farm

We took a walk around Young Living when my Mom and Dad came to town in Oct. I love it here -- so peaceful and quiet, and usually have the place to ourselves.

Adam found a peaceful place to meditate with "Jenny" the dog...

Taking a rest in the cool grass and warm sun. Ahhhh.. this is the life...

We bought this stroller when Londyn was a baby, and used it heavily with all 4 kids. Still squeakin' along after 14 years. Londyn also got this "Jenny" dog from Cheeky when she was little. Now, since she sleeps with Maggie every night, Lucy and Adam fight over who gets to sleep with Jenny. Funny how we have about 50 stuffed animals they both want the same one.

Let us all be like a child a take time to inspect the beauty of God and smell the flowers...

A few random pics

Isaac loves to climb up on the 4-wheeler and pretend to drive it. Ryan put this helmet on him and he loved it. So cute!!!

Grampa and Isaac spending a moment together. Do they look alike?

Lucy wearing Gramma's glasses, with Jenny the dog, playing her newly learned song, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Santaquin Canyon

I love this picture hanging in my kitchen of Londyn and Adam when they were 5 and 2 years old when we lived in Washington. I had good intentions of re-creating the same pictures of Lucy and Isaac since they are similar ages and we still have the same clothes. Unfortunately with my camera luck it didn't quite work out. We tried on 3 different occasions, but the kids or the weather did not cooperate. So, this is as good as I get.

Luckily this 3rd time I had my parents with me, so my dad helped with a lot of funny impressions to make Isaac laugh.

Fall Soccer

Why is it when you follow the game with your camera trying to get a good shot there never is one, but as soon as you put the camera down something great happens. This seemed to be my luck the whole soccer season. When, really, all I want to do is sit back and enjoy the game....

Both girls love soccer, and had a fun season. Londyn's last for city league. Next year she will have to try out for the high school team.

I captured this beautiful moon while watching one of the games.

Taking a rest.... They run for 1 & 1/2 hours. But we all know she's a tough girl.
