Soccer

Bruce with his coaches
GO BRUCE!!

Audrey and her soccer friends

Audrey, her friends and her coach



This year Bruce and Audrey have been doing soccer as an after school activity/sport. Bruce has done a few years of soccer before, and this year he was on a new team called the 'Hornets'. With practices twice a week and games usually on Fridays and/or Saturdays he continued to improve at his favorite outdoor sport-soccer. This year was Audrey's first year doing soccer and she liked it a lot! She turned out to be a natural at it and fit in with her team mates very well. Audrey is now done with soccer, for the year. And Bruce will be done soon. They are both hoping to do soccer again in the fall.

Halloween

I was Thing 1 with my friend who was Thing 2


and yes i did wear crazy fake eye lashed;)
Bruce was Axel Rose from the band Guns and Roses


Audrey was Princess Jasmine

This year for Halloween we(all us kids) all went with lots of friends; Bruce had a couple friends and so did Audrey and they started out at our Churches 'Trunk-or-Treat' while my three friends and me started going around the neighborhood. Eventually we all met up and continued trick-or-treating, and then ended the night by going through the neighborhood haunted house! ...It was very fun and spooky Halloween:)

Blue Man Group



We (my parents, Bruce and I -Audrey was at a party and didn't want to go...) went to the show Blue Man Group at the Keller Auditorium!! It was VERY COOL!! -almost like a concert...For those of you who don't know what Blue Man Group is, its a show were they play lots of cool music with different instruments and do lots of interactive things with the audience -like picking a random guy from the audience and having him put on a suit, hang him upside down, cover him in paint, and swing him into a white canvas so that his imprint is on the canvas, let him down and then let him take the canvas home! they also played fun music and everyone stood up and kind of danced and passed these giant, color changing balls around! It was VERY COOL, and VERY FUN to go to! :)

General Conferance

This year was an...interesting General Conference...Just because it was the first General Conference that we didn't watch it all together, as a family. -because my parents had not come home yet after leaving for my moms race and Bruce, Audrey and Me were all staying with different friends...So I watched it at our house and my friend, her brother and mom and me all watched it. It was cool to show my friend and her family, who are not Mormon some thing that is one of those things I take for granted but they had never seen and thought was really cool....I always love General Conference and the messages they share with us! I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and hope it will continue to touch the hearts of many all over they world like it did with my friend and her family on that Sunday afternoon;)

Happy Birthday Mom!



My mom turned 41 on October 8th! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! ~you are the best mom in the world and do so much for our family! I don't know what we would do with out you...you are amazing athlete and mommy and always are there for me/us and support us in what we do:) I love you and am so glad that I have you as my mom;)

Knee Surgury

So, I'm not sure if you already knew this but...my dad tore his meniscus (tissue in his knee) awhile ago, which is why he has not been able to run for about a year now! ...So he got surgery on his knee, and they took out the torn tissue! It was not a very serious surgery so he went into the hospital in the morning and came home that night. He was going to come home earlier in the evening but he was not coming out of the anesthesia very well so they kept him longer but eventually they were closing so they had to send him home...he was still very out of it for the rest of the night -we had to have two of his friends help us get him inside...he still had to sleep downstairs though, because he couldn't put any pressure on his knee and was two heavy to carry. Over the next few days he came back to 'normal' but still had to use crutches to get around of course...he used up for just under a week and then got tired of them and hobbled around for a few days but is just about normal now! :)

Another Marathon

Yes, my mom ran ANOTHER MARATHON!! Crazy lady!! She ran the St. George Marathon with her brother Danny and her friends -Jenifer Hadfield, and Mike Jensen. She went up to Utah with my dad and met up with most of her family who live in Utah and hung out with them for a little while, and then they all drove down for the race and cheered for my mom and her brother and friends at the finish line:) She ran the marathon in 3 hours and 19 minutes -GO MOM!!

Audreys Baptism

All the family


Our family



Audrey and Dad before the baptism in their suits




Audrey was baptized on the Saterday, September 24th. We had lots of family and freinds come for the special event, so many actually that we had to go to the chapel for the program and only went into the baptism room for the actual baptism! It was a very spiritual, sweet and special experiance! Thank Audrey for being such a good young lady and making the right choices, we love you and are so proud of you for taking this step in your life;)
