Photo shoot with Taylor :)




I got a d700! I finally did it :) I had been dying to get the kids up into the canyon for fall color pictures, but with the busy sports schedules and school work and scouts and yw and piano and guitar, it never happened. I grabbed Taylor this day and ran up hoping there might be some color left by silver lake, but no :( So instead she hopped out in 25 degree canyon weather and we took a couple of shots! How cute is she? :)

flag football



Zacky still LOVES flag football! He had another fun season. They won every game but one. (Spencer cheated and joined our team too!) We got lucky and had great weather all season...so much nicer to sit in!! This was the only cold day. Kimmy and Devin came to watch and brought hot chocolate for Zacky :)

Happy Halloweenie 2011

the kids were so boring this year. No one cared less about their costumes... Zacky ended up with this...we called it a street dancer (he danced to his iphone)...
After being stuck in the house all weekend sick, I was ready to get out! When I took Zacky to school, the news said it was supposed to snow on Tuesday so I told everyone we had to do one last Orange Leaf bike ride before winter. It was 70 and sunny and we had quite the Halloween ride!! Kara dressed up :)
Taylor was a leaf blower. Boring!
We rode to Orange Leaf and on the way home noticed that Hudson had a major flat tire so we called mom to pick us up. We waited at the bank on the corner and created our own fun ;)
After some tackling and Kara pulling Zacky pants down, one of the tellers came out to yell at us. So here we are in a row, patiently waiting :)
Taylor got a nose bleed on the way home....
The boys ended up like this before heading off for their trick o treating run....first year I let them go alone with friends. They went everywhere!! Had a blast !
On the way...there was this wreck, Taylor almost completely killed Kara and later, she had a wreck on Hudson's bike all by herself. What a ride! ;p We should start this tradition every Halloween!
-Taylor went trick or treating alone with Mac and Hannah and later we went to Kimmy's for soup and a 'scary movie' Mac couldn't sleep while we all laughed!! Fun night!

motorcross week :)

General Conference weekend...we built our King Benjamin 'tent' :) And Zacky requested crepes. He smashed up all the fruit for them :)Yum!!
a carrot from our yard..most looked possessed! Lucky we have grandmas garden and Kimmy to make us salsa! It's been so yum!
FHE... a night at 5 mile pass. Kara loves Bryan's bike and Kimmy practiced on Zacky's 'borrowed' bike ;)
Taylor loved it too...Zacky said "It's SOOOO hard to share!" He was LOVING it! Thanks Dan ;)
Zacky taught me and Grandma how to ride too...we only screamed a little!

He couldn't get enough! We are in trouble....He and Dan went out again on Wednesday. They are quite the pair! Zacky said today was the best day ever! As I watched Dan jumping hills on our trail ride (me in go cart :), I told Zacky not to do what he was doing. Zacky said, "I won't tonight". Great. And I ended up with a car FULL of flies and dust!
The girls found mud. That's all Taylor wanted! Official red necks! Dan could not be more proud!
Other than one small rev-ing mistake, Taylor did great and loved it!
Zacky practicing his guitar before his lesson. He claims he hates that he has to take lessons now, but I think there's a small part of him that likes it. He just thinks his new teacher is weird. Agreed ;)
Double header Saturday. We had to be there by 7:15 am- in the dark and first cold morning! Not happy! Luckily Tiff brought a blanket! He had fun and got some great hits. Is baseball over yet!?? One more week I think

Taylor had her big game in Mapleton against the top team in Div 1 right now. She scored the first goal and put in some great corners. But we ended up losing 4-2. Taylor missed a penalty kick and was SO upset. We had to have the crying talk all the way home. It's been a rough week for her. She's had a cold for over a week now and not much sleep after some late nights studying. Rough day, so we went home, watched the end of conference, rode to orange leaf, picked up Panda, built a fort in the fam room and watched a movie together. We were all trashed! Fun night :)

Setting up for her PK. She hasn't missed one all season, so she was SO upset that she missed this one. :(


Finally finished painting and had the big realtor open house. I'm officially happy to see this week over! So tired and sore! Ready for a new week :)
