Catching Up

I recently improved my technological skills and figured out how to get the pictures from my phone to my computer.  So, I am going to share a few from this past year!

Nathan’s brothers, Aaron & Andre’, and their families came to visit for the 4th of July.  We had lots of fun with them…even got to go to Home Depot for the Kids Craft – they made Penske trucks! 

We took the kids on their first campout, with the ward.  They loved it and have been asking when we get to go again ever since!

Avery has started dance.  She recently was a Sugar Plum Fairy in a production of the Nutcracker!  She loves dance and is looking forward to continuing to do more.

These are just a couple of pictures of the best young women, ever!  They took 3rd in region this year for volleyball!!!  Being YW President has been an amazing calling and has blessed our family immensely.  Nathan and the kids have willingly sacrificed a lot so I can devote the time needed to serve these beautiful girls!

More Soccer Pictures

The season is over!  The kids both did great!!  Here are a few more soccer pictures.

First “Professional” Haircut

Avery got her first haircut, from someone other than her daddy.  She did really well.  Between the haircut and my friend, Mary, showing me different styles to do, Avery was in the chair for an hour.  The last thing Mary showed me how to do was a “squiggly bun,” which Avery loved and we left in for two days.

This is what it looked like when we took it out!

Halloween Happenings

We made our annual trip to Mabey’s Pumpkin Patch!!  The kids love getting to pick out their own pumpkins, which seem to get bigger each year.

Avery’s

We also went to Gardener Village, to do the Which Witch is Which, Witch Hunt. Dylan wasn’t feeling very festive that day!

The kids got to dress up for the ward Halloween party, their school parades and, of course, trick-or-treating.  They got an obscene amount of candy!  Avery is a mermaid and Dylan is a Red Power Ranger Samurai.

Fun Days at School

Earlier in the school year, Truman Elementary had Silly Sock Day and Crazy Hair Day.  Dylan loved participating and looked forward to both days!!  I love that his idea of Silly Socks was one black church sock and one regular sock!
