Last Monday our orthodontist had his annual patient appreciation party at Classic Skating. The kids were able to do many fun things which included...roller skating, skooters, bounce house, blast zone, and laser tag. We had nachos and hot dogs for dinner. Skyler was grounded and was not able to come. However, Kyrsti still came with us and joined in the fun. Mariah was home sick throwing up and was not able to come either. Joe stayed home with the two kids. We had a good time and really appreciate Dr. Elison having this party. Thanks, Dr. Elison.

Kaylee and Kyle

This year for New Years we went to Joe's sisters house. We played games, and had tons of yummy snacks. Kaylee went with her friend Kyle to his families party. Skyler brought Kyrsti to join in the fun with us. We all had a great time ringing in the New Year together. Happy New Year.

Fall Leaves

Kaylee, Mariah, and Spiderman

One sunday afternoon we went up Big Cottonwood canyon to look at the fall leaves. Joe and Skyler had gone off to collect leaves for his biology class. I didn't get many pictures of the leaves but I had some fun taking them of the kids. Cayden had put on his spiderman suit over the top of his church clothes and would not take it off. Hence the Spiderman in the pictures. He is such a funny boy, everyone in the canyon would just smile and laugh.

Utah State Fair

This year we went to the state fair...

While we were there we saw this neat

"Pumpkin Spider"...

Saw the swine but didn't get the swine flu...

It even started to rain.

Afterwards, out came this beautiful rainbow...

We saw some honey bees
and
even found the "Queen Bee".

Saw some huge pumpkins that

we "WISH" came out of our garden...

Saw some of Grandpa Anderson's honey

that he harvested...

And even saw some cows

getting a much needed bath.

What a fun day!!!

9-11 Healing Field

Mariah, Skyler, Kaylee, and Cayden

This year we went to the Sandy City Healing Field in honor of the victims that were killed on

9-11. It was very neat to see all the flags. We were able to gain a greater appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy. Our hearts go out to the families who lost loved ones due to this tragic and senseless act. We also are greatful to those who are still fighting for us and our country.
