Soccer 2010


Sierra, Makenzie, and Tyson all played soccer this year. They had a great time and really do enjoy soccer. It is a fun sport and is fast paced except when your in the kindergarten clump and the ball is stuck in the middle. They all did awesome and worked really hard. Sierra is very good at defender. She can kick it pretty hard. She scored some goals and played hard. They only had six girls and so they didn't get a break so that was hard, but they did great. Makenzie had a great little team with a lot of her friends on it. She scored a lot of goals and is a little go getter. Tyson loved it. He would ask every day if it was practice or a game. He had a great time even though we lost most of our games. He scored usually every game and was really fast. He was a great mid fielder and loved to play with all he had.

RAIN and School Work


It doesn't rain here very often and it usually just gets the ground wet and then stops. We had a few good rain storms in the last few weeks. The kids had a lot of fun playing in it we all love when it rains. Tyson and Makenzie have been busy at school doing a lot of projects. They keep filling up the door. It is so much fun to see their work. Great job!!

Sierra Fashion Show

Sierra's activity day group does a fall fashion show at the beginning of school. They get to show off their new clothes and learn about poise. It sure is fun to watch.

BYU Game

We had a great time watching Uncle Shane in the opening game for BYU. It was awesome game!! We got to go with G & G, Carrie, Halle, Brady, Angie, Quincy and a lot of Shane's family and friends. Halle was also blessed that weekend and it was our first time seeing Quincy and we were so excited. We love football but it is even more exciting getting to watch someone we really know. Great job Shane!!

Back to School 2010


Aren't they all grown up? I can't believe it. Sawyer started his Senior year, Drake started middle school, Sierra is in 4th grade, Makenzie in 2nd, and my baby Tyson is in Kindergarten.

Sawyer is enjoying getting out of school early a few days a week being a big senior. He is having a great time with friends going to lunch every day. He is getting all those things done (ACT) and starting to think about where to go to college. Weird. I can't believe it.

Drake is loving middle school. He is getting straight "A's" so far and works very hard. He is a great student and enjoys the time between classes so he can talk to his friends. I can't believe he is in middle school and almost 12.

Sierra
is really liking 4th Grade. Her teacher is Mr. Dorsey. She loves school especially the social part of it but always does her work and rarely has to be asked to get her homework done.


Makenzie has Mrs. Shumway. Drake and Sierra both had her and we love her. She is awesome. Makenzie enjoys school also and is doing great. She has got a 100% on all but one test and can even spell Saguaro. She is so fun and is having fun in 2nd grade.


Tyson is loving kindergarten. He has a lot of friends in his class and even his cousin Shaylee. His teacher is Mrs. Williams. He is doing very well and starting to get his reading down. He loves to show me books he can read. He especially likes it when mom comes in and when she picks him up.

Pirate Paradise Roller Skating

 

Mary wanted to take the kids roller skating in Mesquite before school started. So we headed over one day and had a great time. The kids loved it. It is fun to roller skate and a great work out. We just need to remember pillows for behinds next time.

Camping


Our camping trips this summer were very few. We were able to go to Beaver Mtn. with some friends. We stayed in a condo that they had and enjoyed fishing, rhino riding, smores, and nice cool weather. We had a great time. Garrett was even able to come with us which was so nice because Drake and Garretts schedules are getting busier and busier. We love the mountains.


HUNTING TRIP
We were also able to go hunting with the Staheli's. We had a great time with them and the kids all had a great time playing one last time before school time came. They enjoyed shooting bow and arrows, riding the 4-wheelers, finding crawdads, wading in a stream, and celebrating Erin's birthday! We had a wonderful time even though the big bucks were not found.
