Fall-ing 2009

What's there not to love about Fall in Vegas? The weather is such a treat after the sizzling summer. Here are a few highlights of the season...

Myndi and I took our boys to Floyd Lamb State Park when the kids were out of school for Veteran's Day. Wow. Wow. The birds, ducks, geese are not afraid of humans. I had to include the picture of Colton because of the look of sheer terror on his face. It was actually a really good time and I hope that we make it back there with Darren to fish and picnic some more...





It was so fun to spend Saturday mornings watching Blake play soccer. He is a hard worker and does really well with soccer. His team had a great season and won all of their games. Check out the over-sized goalie get-up...


I love that my kids still like to go to parks. Being outside is so soothing for me. We spend a lot of time outside doing all sorts of stuff, including trying out all of the many parks we are surrounded by...

Pinewood Derby. Ethan and Darren did a great job with Ethan's car. In the picture it is the dark blue one (number 4) on the far left. I don't know what place he took. They ran each group 4 times each so that all the cars could have a turn on each lane. Ethan's car took 1st or 2nd each time...



Camping with the Threshers, Bennions, Francis', and Grandpa Thresher. I went up for the evening so that Keaton and Nash could partake of the festivities. It was a great campground that I hope we go to again in the spring...

Mark and I are laughing hysterically at your pictures. The picture of Blake when he is in the back of the truck is priceless. Miss you guys!
