School Parties

We made ghost suckers and told riddles. 

Great Neighbor's

We had a neighborhood dinner at The Dellenbach's.

The Bahr's were so cute their twin babies.

Trick-Or-Treating

We headed out with The Dehner's to Trick-Or-Treat.

I love our neighborhood.

Beautiful Fall weather.

 The Smith's always entertain with their
hot cocoa and homemade root beer.

Abby met up with Olivia and Brooklyn.

They get the prize for the most candy.  

Abby came home with 14 king size

candy bars and over 100 pieces of candy.

We went trick or treating to Kate's school teacher's

house, Mrs. Thompson.  We also went to Mrs. Jones.

 Our Spanish Dancer twins and zombie basketball player.

 After 3 hours of fun we came home and sorted candy...

watched the front door camera for trick-or-treaters and
played twister with the disco ball.....

 and then played the 7, 11, double candy bar game.

It was a Spocktacular Halloween!

Reflection's 2013

Living The Dream

 By Abby - 5th Grade

I like playing basketball outside in the fresh air. 

I enjoy practicing my dribbling, passing, and shooting. 

I love the feeling when I make a shot. 
That’s when I know I am improving. 

I dream of being a professional and hope I can become one. 

I believe everyone can be successful 
at what they love if they practice.

 I hope to inspire my younger sisters to 

stay active and find something they love. 

Silver Lake

By Kate - 2nd Grade

Silver Lake looks so pretty when the light reflects on the water. 

I hiked around it with my family and dreamed of painting it. 

I took a picture with a camera and painted this so I could share it ­­with others.


Princess
By Ella - Kindergarten

Everyone can be a princess. 

Unicorn Magic
By Lucy - Ms. Mommy's

Believe In Yourself
Photography by Kate - 2nd Grade

My sister inspires me to take photos. I took this picture of her. 

I dream of being a photographer. I believe I can.

Sunday Walk

 It is wonderful living so close to the temple.
I love taking the girls on such beautiful walks.

Kate's Blue Tooth

Kate lost Tooth # 3

Kate woke up Saturday morning with a blue tooth. 

The half dangling tooth was hanging by a thread for weeks.  

By Sunday night, I told her we had to pull it out.  

Tears, screaming, and blood. She was so brave.

We had a FHE on Sunday night and talked about
how we are each daughters of God.

In the process of trying to get Kate's tooth out, she said,
"I don't feel like a daughter of God."

It was the sadest thing I think I have ever heard.  

She is such a sweet girl and I hope one

day we can use this experience as a life analogy.  

I love you Kate!  You are so brave!!

Kate's Soccer

 Kate played great at her soccer game this week.

She was especially excited to bring the team treat. :-)

Gardner Village

We finally made it to Gardner Village,

"witch" was really fun!

Kate and her favorite witch.

 Ella had so many favorite witches.

Lulu who had feared going, fell in love 

with the witches, and is still talking about them.

 This is another one of our favorite Halloween traditions.

We ended the night going out to dinner as a family.

Even James had fun....
