Cheerleading for the St. George Marathon

My sister Jessi at the Snow Canyon turn off,

about 16 miles into the run.

The kids cheering Jessi and lots of our other

family and friends on.

Jessi again, 10 miles later and doing

awesome. She finished with her best time yet.

Good job Jessi, you are Super Woman!

Kids Night at the Ivins Fire House

The Ivins Fire Dept. put on a fun night for kids

with lots of games, safety drills, fire engine rides,

treats and they met Smokey the Bear. The kids loved

it, Sam got to spray the fire hose at a target to dunk

a Ivins police man. It was awesome! I didn't get my

camera out in time to get a picture of Carter doing it.

Drayben's 2nd Football Game

This is the 1st picture ever taken with all of

Drayben's brothers and sisters together. He

is one lucky kid, they all love him so much!

His team won again!

The Rodeo

Cousin Isabelle and Carter having fun

at the rodeo, despite the sprinkles of

rain and wind blowing dirt in our eyes.

They were glad we went, even if it was

just for a short time.

Spingdale is a cute little town right before you head

into Zions park, for those of you who don't know where it

is. We went with our friends Mel and Rich and their kids.

The kids had a blast playing in the river, even though the

water was pretty cold. I forget how beautiful it is around

that area. We live so close, we should go there more often.

After playing we headed to Oscar's for dinner,

it was a great day!!!

Football Season is here!

1st game, Drayben's team won!!!

Snow Canyon 14 - Hurricane 0

He love playing and he did great!

The proud family!

It's a little big!

Sammy's 1st Day of Pre-School

Holy cow, our baby is off to pre-school!

Today was kinda sad, because they took

him by the hand outside and walked him

into class, but as they started walking away

he got nervous and began to cry. I just

had to get in my car and drive off. It broke

my heart, because Sam and I both thought

we were going into his class together to make

sure he was comfortable enough for me to

leave. When I picked him up his teacher came

out and said he cheered up after a few minutes

and only asked when mom was coming back 10

different times. He has been so excited to go to

school, but I think he thought Carter was going

to be able to go with him. I'm sure after a few

more times he will love it.
