The family picture we took on Nolan's birthday, after church

Nolan's birthday

fun to have Mariah back, now we have a bunch of boys with mullets

We've been having some flooding here in St George

I'm standing in the first sunshine I've seen in 7 days...I know sob, sob, sob.

Took a drive to the Enterprise Dam, the road was washed out in the flooding, we went on the shoulder and continued to drive to the dam.

It was so full that it was washing over the top

more washed out road.

Mason likes to take things apart...I give him what ever stops working and he goes at it...

Dylan at a concert for his 6th grade class

Dylan got part of a new skateboard(the deck) for his 12th birthday, looking at the small picture the computer shows...I didn't know he was making such a face....Oh well

he wanted to go to the skate park for his birthday, so I took him and a friend "Triston" to the park for a couple hours.

Now that he's 12, the "mexistash" had to go....Dylan's first shaving...When I caught him with my camera, he didn't like it. Once again, Oh well

Nolan

Thanks giving 2010...Not too big of a crowd this year..The Barney family came and Justin, Afton is in Boise with her family, and Austin and Sarah went to her Grandparents house in Enterprise. They stopped in later. Mason has a turkey that Aunt Wendy brought, on his head..the game was that he would go around the table and peck someone on the head. That person got to share one thing that they were grateful for. Your turn Justin!

You're next Mandy. See the cute little turkey cups...everyone got one from Aunt Wendy, then a pen went around and we got to write on the feathers what we were grateful for.

Time to think!!!

Nolan's last game of the season, towards the end of October, there was a storm brewing in the sky, it was beautiful, I tried to catch lightning in the distance..but couldn't

Nolan's football team...Desert Hills Thunder. Nolan is on the second row, far left, second from the left, they were posing at the goal post and I was in the stands, so I'm glad this turned out as well as it did from sooo far away.

After the game, as the JV game was going on, Nolan's team is all 9th grade.

The sky got darker and darker, and the lightning closer and closer, then they announced for everyone to exit the field and to leave the stands, it was kind of exciting, but scary because two weeks prior to this game a couple high school boys were struck by lightning just as school let out and they were waiting for their ride home...one is still in the hospital, and neither well enough to get back to school....yikes.

Some fun October pictures

I'm a lunch lady at an elementary school close by, I dressed up for Halloween, but needed 3 hair nets to cover the high tower.

The real costume, I had a cute little firefighter to protect me.....the trick or treating happened on Saturday!!! NONE on the Sabbath, it was so exciting. What a community/State. I love it.

Happy Halloween month!!!
this was Justin's creation

some ghostly swimming! Dylan was moving too fast for the shutter speed

I just needed the flash on!

Dan's birthday Sept 2

Nolan taking off his football uniform after the game

We can watch conference at home on our TV without paying for it!!!! See the little rabbit ears hanging down from the TV? Dylan had the wonderful idea to watch the Prophet from the door of their tent like the people of King Benjamen. We were impressed and let them set up the tent in the family room, all was well until I decided to look inside the tent....he was reading a novel...the little twerp. I took the book with a smile and conference went on well.

Mason is a cub scout and I'm his wolf den leader!! First time, with all these boys that I've been their den leader. cool huh?
