Tim

Tim has started biking and is really enjoying it!  Just a couple of weeks after he started he decided to ride his bike from Sundance to Cabela's!  

The Colors in Provo Canyon were amazing!!!

 Here he is starting out at Sundance.

In the final stretch down Alpine Highway!!!

October

Where did October go???
Oh ya.  It went here.

Kayleen has been involved in the Musical at the Middle School.  They are doing The Little Mermaid.  She is a sea creature and a lagoon animal.  We spent a good share of fall recess creating costumes for a fish and a frog.

Jarom is in the Musical at his High School.  They are doing the Will Rogers Follies.  It is a always a huge production which requires a lot of practice time. And not enough time for homework. 

Robby is doing swim team this year.  At the end of the month they started morning practices.  So he leaves at 5:15 in the morning and comes home after afternoon practice at about 5:15 in the evening.

Spencer, currently just gets to come home and hang out (and be available for whatever I call and ask him to do!).

I drive.  Mornings, afternoons and evenings.  Someone always need to go somewhere.  It's always crazy and insane.  But.  I have to say that I am proud of my kids and all that they are doing.  They don't get their willingness to put themselves out there from me!  

Murder and Mystery

I decided that this was probably my last chance to throw Jarom a big party for his birthday.  We decided to do a Murder Mystery and to make it a Masquerade party.  Jarom created the guest list and invited 32 kids.  Yep. 32.  And they almost all came.
Luckily the weather held, and our plans to hold it outside were successful.  I loved that the kids all got into their parts and came with masks and ready to participate. It was fun to watch.  I laugh, because the instructions said that the host would be able to participate.  I chose to just host, and it's a good thing!  It was busy just keeping things going!  Three rounds, with appetizer, dinner and dessert and finally the murderer was revealed.  He kind of let it slip before we got through the confessions, but it was still good.  The movie (Sherlock Holmes, of course) was a little. but all in all I think it was a fin night.  Certainly Memorable!

Just a few pics....
