Bi-Ward Trunk or Treat - Oct 25

Abby, Garrett, Ella and Rebecca

Andrew and Andrew

Andrew, Andrew, Jonah and Ella (what's with the mustache?!)

Emma, Kaitlyn and Alexis (eyeliner runes-awesome:)

The two wards did a combined trunk or treat.  Andrew wrapped up his leg to be the BYU quarter back that broke his leg.  He taped a quarter to his back too...Ella was a mustached ninja and Kaitlyn was a shadow hunter complete with temporary runes.  The night was a lot of fun, visiting with all our ward family friends.

Oak Mesa Fall Festival - Oct 24

Andrew, Sean and Logan

Emma and Kaitlyn

I am still involved with the Art Expo (our districts version of the Reflections program) again this year.  I worked from 10a.m. today setting up our exhibit, only for it to take a mere 10 minutes to take/tear down at 7:30 p.m.  The kids went to the Fall Festival in conjunction with the Art Expo.  I never got a picture of Ella and her friend Abby, because they went missing for most of the night.  After having them paged, we found that they had been helping out at one of the game booths.  Andrew was a football player, Kaitlyn a shadow hunter and Ella was a ninja. 

Band Concert - Oct 21

Ella's band concert - she plays the bass clarinet (as well as the clarinet)

Holland, Gage and the two Andrew's - after the concert.

Finally got their attention!

Ella did a wonderful job playing at the new Bonita Center for the Performing Arts building.  She has been learning the bass clarinet this year in addition to continuing her practicing of the clarinet.  Way to go, Ella!

Choir Performance - Oct 7

Siblings and Cousin Rhyen!

Our school district just built a new, state of the art performing arts center.  Kaitlyn's choir performed at the "soft" grand opening tonight.  Uillame was in town visiting and Rhyen and Jude came to the performance too.  On Oct 18 they will have the big grand opening and Kaitlyn will be singing with her choir and performing with her drama group too.  So excited for her and to have this new venue to see all the choir, band and drama productions at.

Scouts Pack Night - Sept 17

Just a bunch of cub scouts.

Soccer Game - Sept 13

Ella's first soccer game of the season.  Her team's name is the Soul Crushers.  I guess they are too old for cutesy, girl names like "Blue Sparkles."  They are a tough team and they work well together.  They won their first game!  Way to go!  Ella likes to play defense and goalie.  I missed Andrew's game because it was at the same time as Ella's.  James and I had to divide and conquer.
