Sam's 11!!!

Yesterday was Sam's birthday. We went to Cold Stone on Saturday night with Flemmings and Sunday we had spaghetti and brownies for her birthday. (She loves spaghetti!!)
She decided for one of her presents from us she wanted to go get a manicure with me, so today we did that, it's fun to have a girl who loves to do 'girlie' things, but is a tomboy at heart!!
She is such a fun girl and we are so glad that she is part of our family!!

Go Utes!!

This is Steve's Utah tie (in case you can't see it well enough) We had so much fun watching the game with two families that are BYU fans and two families that are Utah fans. It was a GREAT GAME!! It's such a fun rivalry and it's kind of fun that we have such good friends that are BYU fans, and they are good sports when they loose! GO UTES!!!

All dressed up and nowhere to go

Lizzie and Claire love playing dress-up. They love to put make-up on. Well, on Monday they couldn't find Lizzie's make-up so they improvised...marker. It works just as well and boy does it really last!! The funny thing was that when they put it on for lipstick it got on their teeth and lips and it was pretty funny! Ok, so I had to scrub her face. Jen said the Claire's wouldn't come off. The next day you could still see the marker. OOPS!! Claire was embarrassed and wouldn't let me take a picture, but Sam bribed Lizzie with candy. She will do anything for candy.

Playing ketchup

So, I am trying to update...bear with me!

Happenings

Steve went to Moab, again! He had a great time and he is feeling very comfortable on his bike! I'm not sure that's a good thing though.
At Trey's final football game there was a parent's powder puff game during half-time. Steve and Lee had a great time playing with some of the other parents.
Our family went to Castlewood Canyon Park, it was so great. We hiked along the river and enjoyed being able to do this in November, what an awesome fall we have had.
I am still running outside in shorts and a short sleeved shirt...it's great!
We had the primary program yesterday and it went so well. The kids did a great job and the sang like little angels. I learned a lot doing this and I'm hoping next year will be a little easier after knowing now what to expect.

Sam

Sam had a great season with Pride White '98! She made a lot of great friends and is improving a lot.
Trick-or-treating with friends is always fun, even when you are banged up skiier!!
She is loving middle school and turning 11 on Sunday, YIKES!!!

Trey

Trey played flag football with his buddy Payton.
Trey finally let me cut his hair! Yeah, his hair isn't in his eyes, or hanging down the back of his collar.
He got new glasses--bifocals!! Hopefully he will be able to see now!

Lizzie

Lizzie turned five.
We went to Castlewood Canyon, it was so fun!!
Claire and Lizzie are still BBF!!
And, yes, she is still sucking her thumb and twisting her hair. Will it ever stop?
She wants to be a rock star when she grows up, but for now Queen Elizabeth will do just fine!
