Courtney - Homecoming 2010

 

Courtney went to Homecoming with Braden Gull.  He lives a couple of houses away from us and is in our ward as well.  They have been friends for a long time. He is such a great guy and they had a really fun time together.  A group of them went to SLC to the Dew Tour during the day.  They had dinner at Michael Haskell's house that night and then went to the dance.  What a fun time of life and what great kids

Life in the fall...

 Alec graduated from Cub Scouts in November - they do a great ceremony where he crosses over a bridge and joins Boy Scouts.  They don't remove his Cub Scout neckerchief until the new one is in place.  My boy is growing up!  Congratulations Alec - Good job!

I'm Back!!

Well, I thinks it's time I got back to blogging.  There have been some changes in our family over the past few months.  In no particular order... I have gone back to work part time.  I'm working for Nebo School District at Salem Elementary School as a tutor and Skill Building Coach.  Without a doubt this has been the main reason I don't blog much.  I miss my quiet time at home but also really enjoy my job.  Tim lost his job in November due to downsizing & cutbacks.  He is actively looking for work and we are hopeful that something will happen soon.  It's very scary to live on unemployment and my part time wage but we are finding that through trials we grow stronger and our faith increases.  I know that without my Heavenly Father and the faith I have in his plan for me that I would be a desperate mess.  Over the Christmas break I will post pictures of our life over the past few months...so nice to be back!

Camping at Lodge Pole 2010

We decided to go camping the weekend before school started and amazingly, pretty much the whole family was able to come for either all or part of the trip.  It was beautiful, peaceful and so much fun to play cards, read and just spend time together.  It was a great weekend and a nice way to end the summer, so to speak.

So glad everyone was able to come!  (I have converted to the "new" publishing format and now can't figure out how to move my photo's around or add captions - It will let me add a caption on some but not all photo's, so bear with me.  When I try to move a picture or delete one it bumps it to the bottom.  Grrrr!  It's ticking me off!  This post looks all messy and I'm getting too frustrated to mess with it!  If anyone has some pointers let me know!!)

Oh - the difference some teeth make!
