Are they being silly or what?

Joshua got out a wig from our closet where we keep all of our Halloween costumes without asking me he if could wear it, then he went back to the computer to play some more games. I wonder why he wanted to wear a wig while he's on the computer. I thought it was pretty funny and took a picture of Josh without him knowing what I was about to do. Caleb wanted to try it on after I took a picture of Josh. Now, Caleb gets all the attention.

Labels for Education

I entered the contest for Labels for Education past Fall. I was surprised to learn that I had won first place for 500,000 points to any school of my choice. Of course, I picked out Aspen Elementary, the school that my kids go to. Last week, they asked me to attend an assembly to thank me for entering the contest for them. They informed me that their school only gets an average 10,000 points a year. Everyone at the school was real excited about it because they knew that they would be getting STUFF for the school! :) The day after I attended the assembly, Timothy brought home hundreds and hundreds of Thank You cards from his school. I did not expect this and I felt I like didn't do anything "BIG" for them, but getting 500,000 points was a big deal to them. It was nice for the kids and teachers from Aspen Elementary to do this for me.

Catchin Up Part 2

Oquirrh Temple

We went to the open house on July the 17th with the Thornes. The temple was beautiful and the ceilings were pretty tall...probably the tallest than most temples. Our boys love it and it's their first ever to see inside the temple.

Football Season-

Timothy and Josh played for the Lindon Vikings. They did very well this season, but Lone Peak beat us this time. Hopefully by next year, it'll be our turn! Timothy's life revolves around football and it's difficult for him to ever stop thinking about it. Josh did very well in tackling despite his small size. He had a lot of players fooled. Josh is thinking about doing something else besides football next year. We'll see.


Trip to Denver-
We left the day after my birthday, September the 19th to Denver Colorado for a three day trip. The next day, we went to the Invesco Field to see the Broncos game and Timothy was very excited. The stadium was humongous and scary when we went to the top. We were be able to see the players up close and it was quite different than watching a game on television. It's much more entertaining than Stadium of Fire, I believe. I'm glad that all of us get to experience this and by the way, the Broncos won. Wahoo!

Family Pictures 2009-
Jeff, my brother, was supposed to take pictures for us, but guess what? He got sick the day that we're supposed to have our pictures taken. We had to take the pictures ourselves with no photographer! Brady had to set the timer to give him time to hurry back to have our pictures taken. The pictures didn't look too bad. ;)

Timothy took this for us, just above.


Thanksgiving at the Cluffs-
We had Thanksgiving dinner and a Christmas program at the same time at the Cluffs because everyone was in town during Thanksgiving week. Our boys sang, Silent Night in ASL and Timothy read a story to the cousins for the program. We had a good time spending time with Brady's side of the family during Thanksgiving.

Caleb's Preschool Christmas Program-
Ho, ho, ho...Caleb got to sit with Santa. Caleb sang songs for us along with other preschoolers. It was cute.

Christmas Day-
I don't know about this picture since it's one of the few pictures we have on Christmas Day. Many of the pictures that Brady took did not turn out well. Most of them were blurry, it turned out that Brady had set the camera into a different mode. Oh well, the boys sure look excited when they got the Wii from us "Santa" for Christmas. We spent the whole day spending time with my side of family.
