Halloween

Carving Pumpkins!

Brauk was a football player. He wore Jake's football stuff.

Hailey was a nerd. I just have to say she sure pulled it off well!

Jake was a missionary.

Kaitlyn was his companion.

Ready to trick or treat!

For young men and young women's we had a Halloween trick or treating service night.

Our cute neighbor Tanner Smith was a rattle snake. With fangs and a rattle. It was so awesome!

Jackson was a monkey, Tanner a rattle snake, and Wyatt a bug. Love these boys!

Mike participated in the commnuity triathlon on a team this year. Wes Wright was the swimmer, Josh Tilly rode the bike and Mike ran the 3.1 miles. They had a great time.

One of my favorite things about AZ is the beautiful sunsets.

Shawn Harris from Lyman Wy came down to our neck of the woods for his hunting show "Ridge Reaper" and stopped by to spend a little time with our family. It was so great to see him.

Our neighbor was having a garage sale and gave Brauk his old glasses. Brauk liked them so much he wore them where ever he went.

Mike was incharge of EAC's homecoming parade this year. We had a great time getting things set up.

The kids rode on the Institutes float and danced to "We Like to pary" with the college kids. Good times!

A favorite past time for the littles is digging holes all over the back yard, well today they decided to bury Jacob in it.

Hailey loves she gets to be a mini cheerleader. They learn a dance and a cheer and perform at one of the football games. Its one of her favorite things to do.

Brauk finally lost one of this top teeth.

The kids decorating Halloween cookies.

G&G Palmer watching Hailey and Brauk's soccer game.

My friend took this pic of Brauk tying Hailey shoes in the middle of their soccer game. What a nice big brother.

Hailey and Brauk's soccer team. They did a great job this season. Brauk was the high scorer on his team!

For the seminary opening social they had a huge mud obstacle course. Hailey loved playing in the mud.

Brauk was black beard for his 3rd grade play, however he wouldn't wear the beard we got him, so he was just himself.

We did a laurel activity at my house where we made choclate covered strawberries, preztels, marshmellows, and all sorts of other stuff. It was so yummy!

Jake and Brauk spent the day at the lake with our friends the Greers. It was the middle of Oct, so it was a little bit chilly. Both of them learned how to knee board, it was a blast.

Josh had a great football season! He started varsity as a defensive end and played on all the special teams. Toward the end of the season he played offense as a fullback. His team made it all the way to the semi finals where they lost to Yuma Catholic. It was so fun to watch his team especially the Joy Christian game where we felt like we had won the superbowl! Good Times. We look forward to another season!

Two of Josh's biggest fans!

Brauk and his good friend Cody Jones were water boys for The Thatcher Football team. They spent more time drinking the water and messing around then actually giving the team water. Brauk would try to chit chat with Josh and the other players as they stood on the sidelines. The two of them were almost as fun to watch as the game.
