Happy Halloween - The Real Deal

This year we went trick or treating in Laramie so the kids could spend the night with grandma and grandpa afterwards. We had a blast!!! Grandpa took us around in the Expedition. We went to Alta Vista first, then Richard's Park, and then we went to Arnold street and last we stopped by Aunt Amanda and Jerrod's (mom's cousin) to see them along with Trish, and Aunt Cindy.

Trick or Treating at the Polson's House. Leslie had awesome bags of treats for the kids! Thanks Leslie!

The Red Headed Snow Princess Mom was a Cat for Halloween.

Trick or Treating at Daddy's Old House on Arnold Street.

Tornado This Summer

These pictures are just gorgeous. We had a few weeks where several tornados hit this summer. These pictures were all taken in front of our house. Follow this link to see more: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31688350@N06/sets/72157608406613809/show/with/2976555843/

Happy Halloween

Or Should I say Happy Candy Corn Carnival? Here, at the Stake Center the Stake Primary puts on the biggest "Party" I've ever seen. All the rooms at the Stake Center, which is HUGE, has a game in it... the kids play and win a treat. In the Gym there's hotdogs, chips, rootbeer, snowcones, popcorn, ice cream, a cake walk, a jumping gym, and donuts the kids eat from a rope dangling above them. Kaelin HAD to be Ariel this year, Tannon a ninja, and Riley a snow princess. So there you have it. Happy Halloween!

Tannon's 7th Birthday

I spent hours working on Tannon's Birthday blog spot with several pictures and an complete description of his adventure and failed to save it all before I navigated away... I was sooooo sad. Gelsey did an amazing job capturing the adventure on her Blog... please visit it at: http://www.kippandgelsey.blogspot.com/ to see Tannon's Indiana Jones Birthday Party Adventure. THANK YOU GELSEY!!!

I got to accompany Brandon recently as he took a trip with his firm to Jackson Hole Wyoming for a two day training session for his LEED Certification. It was beautiful. We saw three Moose practically next to the car. I took some pictures, although the brush was pretty thick so it's hard to see them.

Tannon and Riley started playing soccer this Fall. Tannon's first game proved to be a great time for everyone... especially the spectators. We laughed until we cried. Tannon has a knack for letting others take the ball and agressively defending his own space on the field. Whether his space has the ball in it or not is of no concern to him. Consequently, many kids, including his own teammates spent much of th time on the ground. We tried to correct this but it was too priceless plus the coaches encouraged us not to. They say it's best to let them keep their motivation.

Riley was AWESOME... I'm not even sure how many goals she scored this Fall. She's an animal on the field! Her first game she scored 5 goals. Nobody could even catch her. I think some credit here should go to grandpa John who offered each of the kids a dollar for every goal they made.

WE DID IT... We're on the web...

YEP! We did it! We joined the world of technology, however all credit is due to my sister-in-law and her sister who I hear forced her to do the same. ALL thanks goes to Gelsey and she thinks she's forced me to do this but really it was very welcomed! I needed the nudge and she went one step further and set it up for me! So... here goes nothing... or should I say everything. Just so everyone knows... I will do my best to update the blog as best as I can. I am really busy. Mom is changing her policies and procedures at Summit (which I am responsible for), I am still learning the business, writing websites at night, and getting ready to go to nursing school in January. Oh, yeah and I should mention I am Primary President at church and for those of you who know what time demands that requires... well, enough said. Tee-hee!
