The First Snowfall!!!!







The kids had to get out in the first snowfall of the season. A week or so before Halloween we had a lot of snow and the kids begged to try out their new snow gear. It hasn't snowed since then but I'm sure we'll get our share as soon as winter comes. Kim isn't so excited but Kinsey and Tevor sure love it!

Indoor Slide


Now that the weather is getting a little colder the kids are getting creative with "what to do". This is the latest adventure - the indoor slide. A few blankets and some daring moves they slide down the stairs. Only a couple of tumbles (Trevor above) but mostly laughs and fun!

Utah goes 12-0 again and crushes "the team down south"






The Utes go 12-0, conference champions again and are on their way to the BCS. It was an amazing game beating the "team down south" 48-24 in a game where the only perfection was the team in red demoralizing those in blue. We hope to be going to the BCS bowl, Sugar or Fiesta I think. It's always hard to have football season pass so soon, but it was another great season for Ute fans like us (well all of us except Kim)!

The Tramp is gone!






It's now late fall and the weather has caused the tramp to be put away much to the disappointment of two kids. They decide they can play "monkey" on the bars even though the rest of the tramp is gone. Our two "monkey kids" playing for the last time on the trampoline for the season.

Blue Bullets Soccer - Fall 2008





Trevor, #4, playing in his first season of soccer. It's great watching four year olds play soccer! They play three on three with a team of six. The Blue Bullets went 6-1 (one rain out) with Trevor being the leading scorer in every game. He really had a hard time losing that one game and we learned he is a very competitive little boy! His greatest moment was when he came from way behind to run down a kid on a break away about to score to kick the ball away at the last moment in front of the goal and turns to me and yells "ha ha" proud to have made the play.
We had tons of fun watching both kids play on their teams. I had a great time coaching Trevors' team.





Dragonflys Soccer - Fall 2008







Kinsey playing in her second season this fall for the Lavendar Dragonflies. They went 6-2 and Kinsey scored in almost every game. She has gotten better each game and is now loving the game! Nothing better than watching little kids play sports!
