Fall 2008

Fall in the Mountains! What a beautiful sight.
The other day we took the kids
on a little hike and the colors were amazing.
I have to say that when the leaves
change and we pull out the sweatshirts-
it really is my favorite time of year.
I just want to say Hi to our family and friends
all over the place. I hope
you are happy and life is good. These pictures
hopefully keep you
updated with our life. Love, Care

Tank showing off his muscles after drinking all his milk.

Owen zonked out in his chair after dinner.

Having some fun in St.George!

Owen was so proud when he came to show me that he had
colored with his favorite color marker . . . BLUE.

We love our friends- Holly, her husband Jonathon, and their little
boy Lincoln. Owen and Lincoln are good little buddies (most days!)
We had a spooky night at the Haunted Nursery near our house.

Our neighbors have a pretty exciting life. We often get
entertained by what goes on at their house. This night
they had a stretched hummer in the front yard. My kids thought it was
pretty cool. Loud music, neon lights, and lots of room to dance.

Cute little Lincoln, showing off his moves.

This is Spence's favorite thing lately. FIREWORKS. He carries this
thing around everywhere he goes. Sleeps with it, takes it in the car, he just
can't understand why he can't take it for show and tell.
(Don't worry, it's empty!)

I know this picture is hard to see, but this is the real reason we
went to the circus this year. Spence kept seeing the commercial on T.V.
with the guys on their motorcycles in the cage. It's all he could talk about!

Owen on the other hand really liked the elephants.

Peace! This picture is to you Uncle D.

Spence and Owen could just eat cookie dough all day. I think they
love to make cookies as much as I do.

My cute nephew Rob and his girlfriend Grace. Rob is the
kid. He walks over from time to time just to hang out. The best
is when he makes us cookies.

Big Birthday party for my mom.

We got all the little girls together and took their picture with
their American Girl dolls. They were all so excited to give it Nana Katie.

Owen thinking he has a cape like Batman.

Tank loves baseball- or should I say he loves
anything he can hit.

Soph wanted to have lots of curls for the big Primary Program.

Spence wins a gold medal at Nursery. I had all the kids
do the Summer Olympics.

I'm not kidding when I say this is Owen's favorite place to be. I now
just leave the garage door open and he plays out in the garage for hours.

Tank's first day of Rainbow Connection. Man was he
excited and nervous.

Little O man gets to stay home with Mom and his blankie-
while everyone else is at school.

Lucy and Sophie on the first day of school.

I couldn't get the giggles out of Lu.

Lucky girls to go to school with their cousins!

Lu's fun teacher. The cool thing is she used to be
a clown. She is a fabulous face painter. Lucy says that every
day she does something to make the class laugh.

Sophie with her nice teacher. Sophie is always telling me how nice she
is. This teacher is very organized and structured. Soph love's her.

We had a lot of fun at "The Ranch"
in Wyoming. Lu's favorite was riding the horses.

This is probably my favorite picture. My boys- and I mean
all 3 boys couldn't be happier.

The 4 wheeler that could fit all the cousins!

All these cute girls and Spence.
