Nolan's Final Jr. Jazz Game

Tonight was the end of Nolan's first year in Jr. Jazz. He developed into a pretty good player from the beginning to the end. He scored 2 baskets tonight which is pretty good when the kids at that age aren't really pass happy. Whenever you get the ball you have to fend for your own. He had a great time and we are already knocking on the door for baseball sign-ups - next week!!!

Nolan's 7th Birthday

We were able to survive a birthday party for Nolan hosting 8 of his little buddies. He sure had a great time! We thank all those that showed up to support him and brought him gifts. We are sure proud of him and can't believe that a year from now he will be entering the waters of baptism. He is a good big brother!

Ice Fishing

I was finally able to do some ice fishing. You would think of all the years I spent in Bear Lake that I would have done some of that, but I didn't. I have a friend here in the ward that is very big into fly fishing and ice fishing and this year because of him I have been able to do both for the first time in my life. Maybe the skills or his teaching but I caught fish in both instances :). Here are some pictures of our trip to Strawberry reservoir yesterday with just the boys and then our trip close by at Cozey reservoir with the kids. Both days were good weather and I'm looking forward to more trips in the future. Actually going on the 24th with the Elders Quorum!

Rub a Dub Dub Three Men in a Tub?

Roo had to recaulk our bathtub and of course all the kids needed to be in the tub to help. That last for a while until Madelyn feel out of the tub backwards. Roo took them all out and locked the door so he could finish. The tub looks so much better. Thanks Roo!

The kids

Vanessa loves to wear these sunglasses. This morning I had the dishwasher open and walked around the corner to find Vanessa on the door. She is growing up way too fast. I have noticed that she says "thank you" and please.

Halloween

The kids had a good Halloween. We took Vanessa just up our street and then across the other side. She then went home to help Daddy hand out candy. He said she liked to answer the door when trick or treaters came. Madelyn and Nolan had a good time but towards the end Madelyn was tired of walking but Nolan could have went longer. It was a nice night to be out.
