The Carter Family

Emma and her friend love playing with their dolls :)

Her friend was naughty and cut Emma's hair on both sides and the back -
we're going to have to chop it soon

Beautiful sunset from our backyard

I ran the Reflections Art Contest at our school for yet another year.
I made these posters of kids who entered

Zachary is in the middle with a Photography Winner of Excellence Award

Eddie and I went to a Clue Mystery Dinner at the new BYU Bean Museum -
we had to dress like the 20's - we were sort of Scarlett and Professor Plum. The
dinner was great and then we had to solve riddles to find clues and try and solve
who murdered Mr. Bean, in which room, and with what weapon - we gave up after
it was taking too long :)

St. George Girl's Trip

Megan and I had a great time going to St. George and then to Vegas to see
Canyon compete in the World's Toughest Mudder race - here we were hiking in
the hills above St. George. After hiking we went shopping, bought Subway
sandwiches, went to see "The Giver", then to the temple to do baptisms,
and then we went swimming at our hotel - what a great day!!

We made it to Lake Las Vegas where the World's Toughest Mudder Race was.
Canyon ran for 24 hours on a 5-mile course with 23 obstacles on it. He made
14 laps which put him at 2nd place in his division - way to go Canyon!!

We watched Canyon do some of the obstacles - here he was waiting for the monkey bars, etc.

After we watched some of the race, we went to the strip in downtown Las Vegas
to look around - of course Megan loved the Eiffel Tower, and the fountain light show
at the Belagio was great, too.

Celebrating our 19th Anniversary in Midway

We took Zachary and Emma with us to the Zermott Resort in Midway -
we loved their warm pool and hot tub with waterfalls

Zachary and Emma slept on the couch bed, and we had a nice
separate bedroom with a jetted tub

We loved babysitting our baby cousin :)

Emma just loves babies! She had been asking for weeks for her baby cousin
to come over - I forgot to take pictures of her with the baby while he was awake :)

Happy Thanksgiving from CA

Enjoying their cute baby cousin, while we stayed at her house

Happy 19th Thanksgiving together :)

With almost the whole family at my brother's house

Joshua had fun at Folsom Lake with some cousins - nice weather in CA!

Eddie, Joshua, Megan and their cousin went to the BYU game on
the Saturday after Thanksgiving in Berkeley, CA - it was supposed
to rain, but didn't, and they thought BYU would lose, but they won!
They also had a fun time going around San Francisco afterwards.

We stayed through Sunday to see my brother bless his baby girl - such a cute family!

Jaker's Jack-o-Lanterns

Over Fall Break we enjoyed a visit to the pumpkin patch -
Jaker's Jack-o-Lanterns - they have the funnest corn pit!

They enjoyed a fun hay maze

Feeding the ducks with Emma's friend

Emma and her friend loved their capes and masks - we needed
a cape for Emma's Anna costume and just bought her this set
and then her friend wanted one, too :)
