November

Aaron's Hide a turkey project this year

Robotics, Evan's team did pretty good.  

Dallin ran a mile in a quick race.  He has had a rough November but we hope we are on our way to getting him back to full health.

Aaron won the school turkey trot.

He wanted to do basketball so he will start in a couple of weeks.

We did a meal with Uncle David's family.  We had a great time.  We ate pizza and played a giant game of duck duck goose.

We did Thanksgiving at the beach.  It was a wonderful time.

We missed our annual turkey trot so we made our own course on the beach.  

We watched big ships come in

We watched dolphins in the water

We did a lot of beach walking

We even played in the water

We ate delicious food and played games and watched football.  It was a great time.

Aaron fell asleep 10 min from home.  smh

Leah had an orchestra concert.   

All orchestras take their turns from beginner elementary to high school.  They all sounded great!

 

Busy October

Michael, my Mom and Dallin went to the BYU vs TCU game. It wasn't the best game to watch but they had a good time.

Joshua competed again.  It was a windy day and the tower fell over but they made it to Area competition.  I hope they have a great run for Area.  We have the one of the hardest Areas in the country so it is an honor to make it there.

Michael, my Mom and sister took Leah to her first concert and drone show.

The drone show was awesome.  Garland did a great job.

Leah doesn't know much about LeAnn Rimes but we had a good time.

We were far away but she put on a good show.  

It was fun to sing along and the weather was perfect.

Aaron had his Fall festival

They had a great time

I took Evan to have some fun too

Aaron is one of the few smaller kids to make it to the top.  

They have a pumpkin patch at Aaron's school so we had to take pics.

We won the cup stacking contest

We went to Joshua's first swim meet.  This is what the bleachers feel like when these boys come along with me. 

Joshua did great.  After water polo they said he had to compete on the swim team.

He picked up right where he left off freshman year.  

We finished up fall soccer season

All the kids did great.

We had a good season!

 

Beginning of October

We are  finishing up soccer this Fall.  Aaron has played great.

Leah and Evan has also played great.  They have won almost all of their games.

We ran into some issues with a person who had problems with us being members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I was impressed with how everyone handled it.  We showed who we are and were not mean or bitter about it.  I hope everyone can see us for who we really are.  

Leah had her first concert of the year.  They sounded great!  I am so impressed with how fast she picked up the viola.  

Joshua and his band are working so hard.  They are looking really good.

We only have two more weeks until Area competition and then band will slow down.  Robotics and Rocketeering will pick up.  Yes, Joshua added something else to his list.  

Joshua just finished up water polo.

We all learned a lot.  They got better with each game.  They didn't win but this was the first year they had water polo at the school.  He will now move on to swim team.  

Dallin finished cross country.  It was a little heartbreaking as he fell and didn't finish where he wanted.  

The team took 4th again.  Next, year hopefully they will make regionals.  He made such great strides this year.  He got PRs in every distance.  

Leah and Emily hope to make the middle school soccer team.  I hope they do.  Leah has been working on getting her mile time down.  She is going to run track as well.  

Aaron waiting for his siblings to be done.  

My kids grades are great and it is so fun to watch them grow and learn.  It is also nice to have the weather finally cool off.
