Halloween 2010

It's a witch, a pair of skeletons, and of course, Pippi Longstocking

Saturday started out beautiful.  We got lots of yard work done and then hurried home to carve pumpkins and get ready for our Ward's Trunk or Treat.  The party ended just about the time the wind started to howl and rain began to fall.

Halloween Cousin Party

Monday night we celebrated Halloween a little early with our annual Snow Cousin Halloween Party!

We always start with soup and breadsticks and end with a trunk or treat.  It was a windy cold evening so we met up at a church gym.

UMTA Fall Evaluation 2010

Happy Birthday Madison!

Happy Birthday Madison!!!

My pretty little red head is nine year old!  My how time flies...

It was the year for a friend party.  So I took them to the Rec Center in Vernal for swimming and out for icecream afterwards.  It was a fun and easy birthday party!  The girls were very good and we all had a blast!

3rd Grade Artist in Residence

One of the fun things that third graders get to participate in, is the Artist in Residence programs.  Through different grants an artist is brought in for a couple of weeks to immerse the children in a different culture.  Madison loved the experience and to complete the week they have a program for parents.  Each class was taught a different dance from a different state in Mexico.  Each class worked so hard to learn about the Mexican culture and perfect their dance. 

UEA Weekend

We are still enjoying beautiful fall days and crisp cool night. 

I love it! Wendy and Bryan, three of their kids,

and my mom came and saw us

on Wednesday night.  They spend the night and

then we played the next day.  They had to go home

on Thursday, but we packed a lot

into 24 hours.

 

They brought Pizza for dinner and then the girls went to "Witches Night Out Boo-tique" - at the hospital.  We played games and watched TV.  The kids played night games and had a sleepover/campout on the living room floor.  The next day we had breakfast and played in the yard.  Then we headed to Bluebell to check out the Corn Maize!  It was fun.  No one got too lost and then after a few hours of fun we came back and grilled burgers and relaxed.  It was all over too fast and they were headed back to the city by 5 p.m.  Bummer...I hope they'll come again and stay a little longer next time!



RJHS Cross Country 2010

Connor has been part of a XC team this fall.  In Junior High it is really a club, but they allow the JH team to practice and compete in closer meets with the HS kids.  He has been practicing 3 or 4 times a week and has about 4 or 5 meets.  This was the last one, and unfortunately the only one I made it to.  Kyle has gone to all of them so he wasn't completely on his own.  This meet was in Duchesne and it was his best time yet! 

Nice job Connor!!!

Conference Weekend

I love conference weekend...
 

It is not just the fact that we get to hear our prophets voice,

but it is also an opportunity to get away for a couple of days. 

We started our weekend a day early and headed to Logan for

the Friday Night USU v. BYU game.  It was a great game, but

that is coming from a family of USU fans.

USU is finally closing down the trailer park that we lived in

as students.  They initiated this process 15 year ago when

we lived there.  This weekend we drove by our old trailer

#101 - it was still there.  Anyone want to invest in a

great little trailer?  I'll bet it is a steal!

We spent the night in Logan and then headed to Brigham City

to visit with Grandma Keck.  We watched conference, visited,

ate lunch and walked around her beautiful yard.
