October 2018

OCTOBER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MONTHS! Here is what we were up to this month:

Tay finishing strong at the Parowan Meet.
The girls varsity start is intense.
Cute cousins at the volleyball tournament in Richfield
We love watching Kinley play!
The girls won their bracket; it's always fun to see them play as a team!
I love them so much!
Stockton and his selfies.
One more - ha ha!

REGION XC @ Orem
Both boys and girls teams WON!
Kinley and Garrett were both Region Champs!
Last week of XC practice...
They ran in some beautiful places...
We love the James' Pumpkin Patch!
Happy Birthday to me! 

STATE XC TIME!
We actually tied for first place, but due to the tie-breaker rule, we got the second place trophy. It's not what we wanted, but it is still a wonderful accomplishment!
The girls, Dad, and the trophy.
SISTERS + Kin pic
These two are SO ADORABLE in their Halloween costumes.

OKLAHOMA TRIP! Mom, Dad, Dallon, Kait, Jeep, and I got to fly to Oklahoma! We got to visit Dalaki and Oliva; plus, we were able to attend my cousin, Jeremy's wedding. We had so much fun!
At the airport.
Delicious restaurant: Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Olivia works at the Natural History Museum, so we got to learn some great facts. Picture here is their Guinness World Record holding fossil: largest skull. Pretty interesting!
The wedding and sunset were beautiful!
Fun wedding times!
We stayed at an AWESOME Air B n B!
The University of Oklahoma has such a beautiful campus. It was wonderful to get a tour of it.

The volleyball team became Region Champs!
SISTERS + KIN
We are so proud of Kin and all her hard work.

Just a Sunday afternoon game of Monopoly. I love these boys!


STATE VB!
I love these two volleyball players so much!
SISTERS PIC
I love mom so much!
Charis also joined us. She is my longest friend (sounds better than oldest - ha ha)
We got to listen to Elder Austin Spaulding report on his mission to Germany. He did a great job and has grown so much!

HALLOWEEN!
Stockton was THE cutest Alexander Hamilton ever known. And yes, he sang the song when prompted, "What's your name, man?" ALEXANDER HAMILTON!
Kam was our handsome cop.
Trex was his robber - ha ha!
Kinley was a hippie, and Tay was Wednesday Addams. They had fun hanging out with friends.

September 2018

"It was a September to remember." Here are the events from this month!

We had a 5K for the MHS Grand Reunion. Our kids did a great job!
Then, we headed up to SoJo for Liv's birthday party.
We went on a fun walk.
TRADITION: We put rubber bands on a watermelon until it explodes - ha ha!
I love my sisters living so close to my long time friend, Lisa J.!
Kinley for the spike!

Kiley and Trex get ribbons in North Sevier. They are awesome - especially for 5th graders!
Tay and Brayden also got ribbons; they are silly.
The girls team beat all the 2A schools and took first!
These two both won! So proud!
Next, we headed to Wendover for some volleyball. Liv got to come too!
This weekend also kicked off Kiana's birthday. All the (older) girls got pedicures!
Sisters + Lisa picture at West Ridge.
Josh and Jeep: good brothers and friends.
It was fun for Josh's family to come and watch Kin and Akaydeh's game and then join us for dinner.
I'm an aunt AGAIN! Kenai is so precious, and we're so happy for Koda and Mandi!
The girls vb team played at Piute for their Pink Game. It always hits close to home.
MahLee got her mission call to Houston, TX.
Tay and Whytney both got medals at the Piute XC Meet.
Kiana turned 30!
Some of my favorite people all in one room (for Kiana's Hamilton-themed birthday party). We had so much fun!
