Soccer Season was a SUCCESS!

Sam's soccer team the Cache Valley Strikers went undefeated this fall, 12-0. The team was pretty excited because it was their first season playing state. Sam is ready for a little break but come spring he'll be ready to play again!

Wisdom Teeth and Tanner

Tanner had the great opportunity to get his wisdom teeth out over UEA break. He actually did pretty good after the initial anesthetic wore off. While we were in the oral surgeon's office he was trying to get a date with the nurse and showing off all his arm muscles. We were all laughing at him. He was pretty out of it. After he got home he only had one pain pill and went to work the day after he got all four teeth out. By Sunday he was a little swollen, but all in all he did great!

Fall Weather

We have definately had a beautiful fall here in Cache Valley. They leaves have been a deep red, yellow and orange. The kids are wondering why they have to rake up the leaves every other day at our house! The temperatures have been perfect. Here are a few pictures of our valley and our home in the fall.

"EAT CAKE"

I just read the funniest book. It is called "Eat Cake", by Jeanne Ray. If you are in need of a light hearted book just to read and relax and laugh with this would be it. Thanks Traci for recommending it on a day when I needed a laugh!

JAKE'S ACTIVITIES

It has been fun to have Jacob home again. He started enrolled at USU and is living at home. It is great to have his friends come over again. They are a bunch of good kids. Jake is involved with the Army ROTC program. One of these days I'll get a picture of him in his army gear. He has to wear it to school every Thursday. He looks great and is enjoying the program. Here are a few pictures of him during the summer and this fall with friends.

The Scarlet Pimpernel

On Friday night, September 29th, Jim and I cancelled everything and went on a date. I had to find someone to take Sam to his game and Jim had to get someone to fill in for him taking tickets at the Sky View Football Game. We did it! Something that doesn't happen to often in the fall. Anyway, we drove downtown to go to the musical at Ellen Eccles Theatre. When we got there we found out that the production was sold out for Friday evening! We kind of hung around waiting to see if anyone turned in some tickets. Lucky us--a man came along and needed to sell his front row tickets! The production was wonderful and Jim and I had a great evening together!

THE MTC EXPERIENCE :(

The family drove down to Provo on Wednesday morning, stopping at KFC for lunch. Then came the "stop, drop, and roll" as my friend calls it. We first went to the park above the MTC for hugs and pictures. Bad luck, my camera wasn't focusing correctly so the pics didn't turn out very good. But I did get one good picture of my missionary right before he took off! WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR!
