A hard worker.

Yes we are still raking the leaves. I think we are on bag # 21!!!! Shawn took the day off just to rake the leaves. This is how my 5 year old helps his dad clean up the yard.
And yes that would be the shop vac sucking up the leaves. It wasn't very fast but he sure had a good time.

Fun concert

My sister and I went to an awesome concert last night. This is the must have picture--you know where you take it yourselves!
This is us with my new favorite musician, ALLRED. He is from Salt Lake and does mostly acoustic stuff. I had never heard him before but it was amazing.
We Shot the Moon was up next. This is the lead singer. They got in a really bad accident just this last week coming to Utah from Rexburg. Rolled their tour bus and trailer after hitting black ice. They all walked away from the crash. So glad they did because they put on a great show.
These are 2 other guys in the We Shot the Moon band. They were a little strange, but makes for great pictures.
This is the only picture we could get of Second Hand Serenade. He did not go out to the lobby to see people like every one else did. Too bad! We had pretty good seats but during the last song we moved up to the front and enjoyed the last song up close. I love when the music is so loud you can't talk to the person next to you!

Fall 2009

The leaves have returned. I raked 10 bags and you still can't see the grass.

Brother in law


This is one of Shawn's older brothers, Glen, with his daughter. He was killed in a car accident yesterday. Even though I have been married for 13 years I have only met him 2 times. He lived in Florida, not exactly a quick trip. He was a great guy. Always had a smile on his face and loved to get into deep discussions. He will be greatly missed!

Some one is making some good money off us.

For family night we put together a Halloween Ginger bread house. I had never seen a ginger bread house themed for a holiday other then Christmas. Boy my kids had a good time.
This is the finished project. Now I am just waiting to see one with Pilgrims on it for Thanksgiving. I am sure my kids will want that one too.

Smart kid

I have such a smart kid! This is Austin with his Kindergarten teacher. He loves school so much. He was actually upset when he found out that there was no school on Saturdays.

The other day he asked Dad how to tie his shoe laces up. So Dad showed him one time. He mastered the art of tying shoes laces so fast. Now he asks people if he can tie their shoes for them.

Preschool

We are doing a Parent ran preschool for 6 kids in our neighborhood. They are all 3 years old and they are so fun to teach. We team up with another parent and either do the lesson and craft or the treat. The kids go 1 day a week and they love it!!! And yes there are only 2 girls with 4 boys.

I have already learned something from teaching them---3 year olds are so funny!
