Champions!

Braden's team WON! They are all on cloud nine. On Friday all of the moms decorated their sons rooms. They loved it. I truly think Brooklyn had more fun decorating it than Braden had finding it. After the game one of the families hosted a victory party and most

of the team spent the night.

Election Night

Braden with Orin Hatch

Someday he will be on that stage!

Troy was invited by three different candidates (all of whom won) to the Republican Party Election Night shindig at the Grand America Hotel. We decided it would be a fun experience for the whole family. We got a room at Little America so Troy and Braden could stay at the party late. We started the the night with dinner at the hotel. The boys nicely placed their napkins on their laps and were careful not to put their elbows on the table. They do actually listen. It was fun. Cody and Brooklyn had a blast collecting all of the pins and stickers and decorating their shirts. Braden loved being amongst the Politicians .

Cody and Brooklyn grew tired of hobnobbing and suite visiting so we went back to the hotel. Cody was so excited that there were robes in the closet that he just had to take a shower so he could wear one.

The Playoffs!

Braden's team has gone undefeated so far! They are playing their championship game on Saturday, November 8th at 12:00 noon at the South Jordan fields. The address is 11100 South Redwood Road, in the NW corner of the park! This sounds crazy but pray for rain. We are a good running team, but they are a good passing team. We can run in the rain, they can't pass in the rain! Good Luck Braden!

Halloween

Braden was a blind referee, Brooklyn was a nice witch,
and Cody was Kirilenko.

This was our first year at our new house. The kids were so worried about how good the trick-or-treating would be in this neighborhood. They were pleasantly surprised.

The Hooton Sisters were casting spells all
over Herriman!


I was in charge of Cody's class party!

Cody's Big Day!

Yesterday Cody had a very

busy day (so did the rest of us).

He bowled his highest game at a
130. Wow! Then later he played

in his very first hockey game.

He got to start, and did quite well.

His team won. After his game we had his 9th Birthday party. All of our family came to watch his game, then we had a pizza party after at the rink. We were especially lucky to have Great-Grandma Nelson and our cousins,

Jody and Brian, from Price there. He had a great day!

Happy Fall!!!

Today we went up Butterfield Canyon (right by our house) to take pictures in the fall leaves. This is my favorite time of year. I can't believe I finally got a good picture.
