Thanks Giving

I'm so grateful for the people in my life, especially my family.  I love my boys so much and enjoyed some extra time with extended family this weekend as well.  Great fun!

Games

Turkey Bowl

 Budding musicians

 Just plain Adorable!

 Yummy food and lots of loud cousin time

 The adults were there too!

 The Thuesons invited us to go spend some time downtown with them at the Little America.  We couldn't pass it up.  Riding the trolley down to Temple Square!

 City Creek lights and fun

 Beautiful as always!

 Fall was pretty mild this year and we enjoyed the beauty of lights and leaves!

 Dinner, games in the hotel room, swimming, milk shakes and even a BYU game.  It was so fun to spend time with our Rexburg family that we don't get to see as much!

Autumn Leaves

We had a fun, soccer filled fall.  Jacob and Micah both played on some "Surf" competition teams this year.  Micah's team made great improvements as the season progressed and won 3/4 of their last games.  It was so fun to see them learn to work together as a team.

 Jacob's team had a rough go of it...never been on a team that had so many odd struggles.  The great thing about it though, is that Jacob didn't seem to mind.  There are years when it would have really bothered him, but he just persevered and tried to get better.  We'll see what the spring brings.

We were able to catch some fall leaves early this year.  Always makes me so happy!

 Love these handsome boys!

What a beautiful rock skipping spot!!

 And Phil's classmate Molly from UW came to visit.  We enjoyed a Saturday (after a snow in the mountains storm) up at Silver Lake.  It was gorgeous!!

Grateful to live in such a beautiful part of this world!

It's beginning to look a lot like fall!

We are seeing signs of fall around here!

First Day of School

Micah in 5th, Ben in 8th, and our big 10th grader at the High School escaped the picture!

 Micah with Millennium Falcon (which we take credit for naming)

They had Star Wars music playing etc.  It was awesome.  Going to be a great year!

 Ben's Birthday (celebrated all week again!)

Lots of soccer games and practices

Timpanogos Storytelling Festival

Our last Hurrah of summer, we joined Ben and Phil for the "Laugh Night" and it lived up to it's name.  Add a fun hotel stay and we had a great weekend.

 Celebrate America Show!  

Lynette and I were dates this year!

 What? A driver in our house?  Jacob got his Learner's Permit.  Watch out world!

 And last but not least, FALL LEAVES!!  

I got my fall fix this weekend after a long few days without Phil at home.  It was the perfect day and weather.  We had a great time!

 Love this one!

 Love these boys!

 Which path would you take?  The one less traveled?

 Payson Lake was gorgeous!

 And with some skipped rocks!

 So Autumn, in two days we are ready for you!  Just no winter yet?  Got it??

Happy Fall!!!
