Fall

Our yard has come such a long way! I can't believe all the work we have done on it and yet it still isn't done yet. However, we are getting very close.

Here is a good before photo:

and some after:  The lawn has looked great all summer long. These were taken after the water had been shut off and it is going into winter now....

Now, If you would like your husband to pull all his hair out, ( and most of yours as well) then simply ask him to build you a waterfall.......

It was really a pain digging out under the sidewalk....

It was also a big pain trying to get these rocks off the mountain, then placed strategically by the tractor without knocking down your garage. 

Digging a big ol' hole wasn't that fun either. 

However, it now works and I LOVE IT! We have a lot more rocks to add and plants and all that, but just listen to it......!!!!

My little man had a birthday! We love this little boy so much and can't believe how fast he is growing up. Since he turned one, he thinks he wants to walk now. He can take a couple steps at a time. 

His favorite toy ever is a ball. So he got a lot of them!

I started up clogging lessons with several friends! It is a blast! we have about 30 "grownups" in our class. Including one guy, the Hypno Hick if anyone knows who he is.  Lessons are every Monday night and last Monday we got to learn from this pro whom I think is from Georgia. His name is Scotty Bilz. It was so much fun!

End of Summer

Soccer season is in full swing around here. I feel bad I don't have any pictures of Graci or Kendell because I have missed more than half their games since I have to get Rian to all of her practices. Brian has been coaching Kenni and it has been an all girl team. They have improved a lot and have really been loving it. Kenni has become one of the top scorers! Graci is doing awesome as well and has been scoring a lot too. Most of these photos of Rian have been taken by someone else. 

These four were taken by Serve Daily newspaper

These are from other parents on the team:

We love the Waffle Truck!

Girls were in the parade for Labor Day.

We watched the parade then went to Summer and Mikes for lunch.

We ran some races the past few weeks. 

I did the Hobble Creek Half Marathon by myself while Brian tended kids. My goal was to do it under two hours and I missed it by 2 minutes. 3 weeks later  Brian and I both did the Nebo Half. My time was 1:55 and I was very happy about that. Brian took 8th place overall and it was his fastest time for a half. 1:19. It was a really fun race and I think we will do it again next year. 

Brian took Kenni to the BYU Texas game. The day it rained really hard and got delayed. 

We love this boy soo much!

There is an Indian cave here in town we went to one day. In pajamas.

First day of school! 6th, 4th, 2nd and Preschool with Aunt Lavern
