Wrestling

Rhett is trying his hand at wrestling again this year.  He didn't wrestle last year but wanted to keep in shape so is doing it this year.  He is wrestling 1st string.  He only weighs 95 lbs and is wrestling 111.  He is pretty much out there for fun!

Concert

The kids had an orchestra concert a couple of weeks ago.  Dustin played the cello the whole time.  Rhett and Bridget switched between the violin, piano, viola, and bass.  This was Tylinn's 1st concert so she was so excited!!

Sweet 16!

October 21st Bridget turned the big 16! She started out the morning with opening her presents.  

She was way excited to get a volleyball blanket to pack on all her trips with her!

And the most exciting thing was an Ipod that she has been wanting for a few years!

French toast was the picking for breakfast!

She had her day at school then right after practice Barr took her to dinner here in town.  They are great friends and have been planning since 8th grade for Barr to take Bridget on her first date.  He is a great kid!

We were trying to think of something fun to do for a little party.  She decided she didn't want to do anything because she didn't want people to feel left out if they didn't get invited.  I told her we needed to do something.  Her birthday was on a Tuesday so it could be something simple.  We just decided to do brownies and icecream that night and just have kids come visit for a while.  I told her she could invite whoever she wanted.  She said that she was doing announcements that morning so could she just announce it on the announcements for the whole school.  I was a little worried how many and who would show up but that is what she ended up doing.  I just decided I would have lots of brownies and ice cream but when it was gone it was gone. We are ready to party!

There were about 40 kids that showed up so it was perfect! They were her closer friends so it was nice nobody showed up and us wondering why they were here.

Hunter had fun with the little girls - as usual

He was telling them a bed time story about 2 little girls that got to stay up late on a Friday night so we could watch Superman together.....

Ben and Bridget

Ben and Hunter insisted on staying till the end and being the last one to leave.  Well I got my dishes done out of the deal from Ben!

Saturday night Caleb took Bridget to Snowflake to the corn maze and stake dance.  They had lots of fun!

I think Bridget is getting used to this 16 year old thing pretty easy - loving the dating and driving!!  Bridget we love you and have loved every minute of the last 16 years with you!  You are a great girl!

Phoenix Temple Open House

October 20th our ward took the youth and a few others down to the Phoenix Temple Open House.  We are very grateful to have another beautiful temple in the state. We rode a travel bus from a water park parking lot to the temple because they don't have much parking at the temple.

 Kids waiting for the rest of the group to come so we can head in.

 Most of the group in front of the temple.

 Bridget and Megan

 The boys

 Dustin and Noah - not too sure about these 2!

 Me with my honey!

 Out side the temple they had a tent set up with this Christis and a few other things in it.

 Bridget playing the piano in the tent.

 Loading back on the bus to head back to the parking lot

We finished out our day eating lunch at Golden Corral.  It was great to spend a day with family and our ward.  It was exactly 1 year ago from this day that we were in our accident so it was a little nerving being down there again in Phoenix exactly 1 year later!  It was a great day!

Honor roll

Kaylee was on the honor roll and got perfect attendance for this last quarter!  Good job Kaylee!

Elder Johnson and Conference

 Elder Johnson is leaving us tomorrow. We were very blessed to get him twice on his mission here in Heber!  Love this guy!  Glad he will be back!

 Also another huge love - General Conference!!  This is what it looked like at our house that day!  Wish we had it next month too :)

Homecoming Week 2014

We had a fun Homecoming Week.  Monday was PJ at Capps and MM and Hobo Day at JH and HS!

 I had to go to school before the kids because it was a late start day and I can't remember why they didn't take Dustin's picture.  It seems like because he had a game that day so he was just wearing his jersey.

 Bridget and Barr - best of friends! After Bridget's vball game!

 Tuesday - Crazy hair and movie day.

 Bridget was Rapunzel off of Tangled, Rhett missionary off RM and Dustin Davey Crocket

 Wednesday - Sports and Favorite Super Hero

 Wednesday night was Mighty Man.  The Freshman got beat pretty good.  For the first time ever the Seniors beat the teachers.  Caleb Whipple pounded that ball over the net many times at those teachers.

 Thursday - Hat day and dynamic duo

 Rhett had a game so his dynamic duo was the rest of the football team - Bridget and Jordan were husband and wife and Dustin and Noah were missionary companions!

 That night was Powder Puff.  This game is rough and brutal.  The Seniors and Freshman beat the Soph and Juniors.

 Best coaches ever!!

 Friday the best day - PRIDE DAY!!

 Summitt donated these shirts to the whole high school -

 Bridget and Dustin were both in the runnings for Homecoming Royalty.  Neither of them ended up winning.  We were supposed to play Ashfork for the game Friday night and they called Thursday night and said they didn't have enough players that had good enough grades so they didn't have a team.  So I think in the first time in history we didn't have a homecoming football game.  It was kind of a bummer night!! We had volleyball games Monday and Tuesday night but not any on Friday.

Homecoming week was a blast!  I loved going to all the activities and watching my kids.  I was actually really sad this week when all the activities were over and there was only 1 home volleyball game this week.
