Halloween!

Halloween! Our 2nd favorite holiday! The kids really got a load of candy this year. Can we just say, trunk-or-treats are the best?!? ;+)

Cayden, the Indian!
Britain, Wrath! (He put his costume together all by himself, including coming up with the name.)
Savannah, the Witch.

Dale, the Cuddly Bear!

Student of the Month

It's okay to brag about your kids every once in a while, right?!? Cayden was the student of the month in his class for the month of October. He is such a good student! Both him and Britain will be in the Knowledge Bowl this coming spring.

Snakes and Lizards~OH MY!

A couple of our ward members brought their pets to Pack Meeting. Not a big deal, right? WRONG! Not when they're a snake and lizard!

The lizard didn't seem to bother Dale!
Cayden received his bear badge. Now he moves on to Webelos!

Cayden's Birthday

Cayden celebrated his 10th birthday on October 13th!

Cayden is always full of life ;o)

Soccer

Both Savannah and Cayden played soccer this fall. Savannah loved kicking the ball, no matter what direction.

Whenever Savannah kicked the ball, she would look at us and make sure we were watching.

Savannah's Team

The city gives medals and certificates to everyone that participates. Savannah loves wearing it ;o)

Cayden played on a full size field. He played every position quite well, but he was his best at being a defender. (He is the one in the middle with long jeans on and bending over ready to stop the ball).

Cayden is #9.

Pumpkin Patch

Savannah's Preschool went to a Pumpkin Patch for a field trip. It was in the Ranches, so we didn't have to travel far. Savannah and Dale had a ball ;o)

Savannah's Preschool Class

Tyler is Home!

Tyler came home yesterday from Iraq. He was gone for a year. We are so glad he is home safe and sound!

The kids waited and waited holding these signs. It was so cute ;]

Lynae and Melissa are behind the kids acting goofy! Maybe they stayed up too long last night! Hehehe ;o)

Scouts

Cayden and Britain had so much fun at pack meeting playing with the balloons.

Britain received his Bobcat. He was sooooo excited!

I just love how the boys put a pin on their mother's shirt collar. It makes me so proud to wear that pin showing the work my scouts (both Cayden and Britain) have done.

Helping With Wood!

Dale loves to help us with getting the wood for our wood burning stove. He's all dressed up just like Dad, ready to go!

Taking a break.

Dale was very persistant about helping Dad push the wheelbarrow.

Savannah's First Day of Preschool

Savannah went to preschool for the very first time. She says that Cayden and Britain go to the big school and she goes to the little school. She loves preschool!

Dale is at home with Dad and Mom all by himself. He didn't quite know what to think the first day, but he's getting the hang of alone time with Dad and Mom.

Dress up!

Who says you need another sister to play dress up? Savannah and Dale love playing dress up together.

Dale has to have all of the accessories, including the headband and high heels.

Britain's 8th Birthday

Britain had the special opportunity of being baptized at Martin's Cove in the Sweetwater River. We did this because his middle name is Kimball (after Stephanie's Mom's side of the family), he was born on Pioneer Day, and this is where David P. Kimball carried the saints across the ice cold river. It was a really neat experience! The spirit was so strong there. Thanks to all those family members who made the long trek for this special day in Britain's life. To those who weren't able to be there, we felt you there in spirit. We love having the support of family ;o)

Britain loved having his friends over for a summer birthday party. All the kids had fun playing water dodge ball, running through the sprinklers, and playing red rover.
