December Sky

We've been having really nice weather lately and beautiful sunsets....
Here are the boys in the front yard-


And Kaitlyn and Jack in the back....

No snow yet!

Pinewood Derby...Chapter 2

The competition....

(Cameron's car is the black one with 2 green racing strips on the front row).

The weigh in....
This time we were right on!

Race #1....

his car went 7.9 mph.

Here he is with Grandpa, the "aircraft graphite" supplier, and Dad, the builder.

Cameron took home a cool medal and many happy memories!

Halloween

Okay, here are some pics of what we looked like on Halloween. This one is of our good friends Jane and Mark as Palin and McCain, but if you look closer, you'll see rodeo clown Chris in the infamous red wig in the background. (I forgot to get a picture of him!)

The "Queen of Everything"

"Kareem"

"Indiana Jones"

"Fairy"

We had a fun holiday!

Crazy Hair!

It's been Red Ribbon Week at school (Say "No" to Drugs).

This is how the boys looked on Crazy Hair Day....

They're pretty crazy! Hopefully they didn't like the hair too much...

One of them will be a teenager in a couple years!

Belagio Hotel Fountains- Las Vegas

Loved it! We stood there for an hour.

Vegas, Canyons and a Temple

We went to Las Vegas last week for UEA (school) fall break. Chris had a convention so we tagged along for fun. We stayed at the New York, New York Hotel. Kaitlyn and Cameron rode the scary rollercoaster that loops up and down and all around the hotel.

They loved the M-n-M's store the best. It was fun to see an actual NASCAR race car.

They were creeped out by this talking tree in the Belagio Hotel.

We went to Egypt...

And Paris...

Check out the first blog if you'd like to see a clip of the fountains at the Belagio at night.

Amazing!

On the way home we stopped at the Kolob Canyons in Zion's National Park. The red cliff walls don't show up as bright on camera. It was a beautiful place.

After spending time in "Sin-City" it felt so nice to visit the St. George Temple on our way home. It was the best scenery of the trip. And for all you Utahns...Mark Ubank (weather guy) was our

tour guide in the visitors center. As you can imagine, he tells the story of the temple and it's history really well!


Good times!
