Warning: NOT for the faint of heart!!!

You think you had a crappy day? Ask Rocky about his! If I would have told you it was this bad, you never would have believed me. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you! Man am I grateful his Binki was in his mouth!

It's beginging to look a lot like Christmas...

Snow Way Dude!

I must be a mean mom, but this picture totally cracks me up. Rocky went from happy to screaming bloody murder in about 2 minutes. Dang it has been cold this week. It feels like the Indiana weather came home with us. SEP conferences were canceled because a massive blizzard was coming, it sounded so exciting. Well...it NEVER SHOWED UP!

Don't LEAF me!

And the winner is....

Ruby Rich!!!!


About 2 months ago, Ruby received a letter in the mail congratulating her for winning some sort of award in the Utah State Fair writing competition. I was shocked because I never knew she had entered. You would have thought she had just won a trip to the moon she was so excited. She was invited to attend an awards ceremony to find out what she had won. I was so excited for her but kept my expectations for the ceremony very low.

The ceremony was a HUGE deal. We found out that Ruby had entered 2 competitions. She won a blue ribbon (1st place) in one competition and a white ribbon (3rd) in another. She also won 3 door prizes. She said,"Every time I try to stop smiling, they call me up AGAIN!" Way to go Scoobs! We are so proud of you!

I love to see the temple...

Matt's brother James got married on November, 12. We are so happy for James and Amy, we adore her. She is a perfect fit in our family! These are a few shots that were taken on the temple grounds.

When Cooper was about 4, he was balancing on the edge of the reflecting pond in front of the temple. He was sporting his red Power Ranger suit. Next thing I know, he was in the pond. I crack up every time I see that pond. What a great memory!
