Trick or Treat!

An unusual Halloween this year as Jim was out of town, Z had his first playoff game (which I attended & they won), and the kids went trick-or-treating with friends.  I met up with the littles after the game. And took this picture a day late.  hehe

Some fun images from two different photographers.

 Blurry, but an amazing catch.

No wonder he has had sciatic nerve issues!  Ouch!

He will sacrifice anything for a reception!

Fall Carnival at our previous ward

 ...and her first middle school dance!

I wonder if she was asked to dance. Funny she looks a lot different than she did yesterday on her birthday.

 Happy Birthday to this 12 year old!

She has grown up into a beautiful girl who loves life!

Her 'from scratch' cake didn't make it, but three cupcakes did!

They were delicious!

This day has been planned her entire life.  And scheduled in my planner 4 months ago!

She didn't even flinch.  I loved my little afternoon date with my sweet girl.

After church with my brother & sister-in-law, we spent the afternoon relaxing on the beach and eating until it was time to head to the airport.  

I could do this everyday.

It was on a yacht off of Balboa Island and a great evening.

The sunset was absolutely amazing tonight.  I tried to pull over and take a picture but the storage on my phone was full and I couldn't take one.  When Z and M returned home they showed me what they captured!  No filter, no editing.  Just an iPhone picture.  So beautiful.

Grandma might like to know that he has been hand fed every morning.  Lucky dog!

A few of Z's friends and their moms took a BYU admissions tour today. 

I learned that 95% of BYU grads would do it all over again...I'm one of them! I loved my experience there. 

Crossing our fingers! Go Cougs!

The Jett had another great win and TD.

Best game tonight, well best last three minutes of the game.  Our team came back from a 14 point trail in the last three minutes of the game.  This image is Z scoring the winning TD the last minute of the game.  The game was aired on TV as the Prep game of the week and he made all the local newspapers.  So happy for him and his team!

We sent this selfie to B and Z and told them it was pouring rain and that we were warming up in the car.  

Just a few minutes later, we received this picture of them on their way to church.  So cute, I'm still laughing.

These 4-wheeler came in the mail today for our almost 18 year old.  

Saturday night disco skating has become more serious than we thought.  

We can't stop laughing...seriously?

Conference today and I'm still in my pjs.  I always look forward to being fed by our leaders and today did not disappoint.  We are missing dad who is away on business, but homemade cinnamon rolls, legos, and blankets helped a little.

I told you he was one of the guards (D-line), he fits right in. He had to wear pink just like his brother (in honor of Grandma F.)

 I love how this image captures Uncle Curt and Big Bro Z pumping him up and reminding him to keep his chin up!  It was a tough game and loss.
