Halloween 2009

We love fall and Halloween...the cooler weather, the colored leaves, the candy, the parties, the costumes. What more could you want?

Barb's 36th Birthday

October 11th - Another year has come and gone. I can't believe I'm on the downside of the 30's now. I better enjoy it...before I know it, it'll be the dreaded 40's.

Work on the yard has begun...

It only took the entire summer to get the walkout, concrete work, sprinklers and grass in. It took two months just to get the walkout and concrete work done. What a relief to have it done.

Lagoon Fun

July 29, 2009
Fun at Lagoon for Luke's birthday

Luke's 9th Birthday

You would have thought it was Brooke's birthday. She was so excited to help Luke open all his presents. Luke's birthday festivities lasted about two weeks. We celebrated with Grandma & Grandpa Caldwell in Canada, with the family when we got back, a day at Lagoon, an afternoon with the Lloyd cousins and a pizza & movie party with some friends. FUN TIMES....

Baseball 2009

Cole's first year of T-ball was a success. It was so low-key, played at a makeshift field at the Fruit Heights City Hall park. He had a lot of fun and couldn't wait for every game to happen. It was a huge contrast from the competition in Luke's league.


AND THE CHAMPIONS ARE....
Luke's team went to the championship game. They were just a group of cute kids having fun playing baseball...and kept winning their games. The team they played was intense and the coach was in it for serious business. They were ahead the whole game and then lost it in the end by 1 point. It was so disappointing for the boys, but they did such an awesome job. Way to go Yankees! Way to go Luke!
