After having our 580 for sell since April it finally SOLD! It is such a relief and answer to many prayers! We are still trying to sell our compactor, excavator and Dodge and hope we can find a buyer soon! Money is such a stress! My testimony has been tried and strengthened so much this last year! I never thought I would say I am greatful for this trial but I feel so blessed right now and don't think I could have grown so close to the spirit without it.
As a youth group we are going to do baptisms for the dead on Tuesday and I am so excited. This is one of my favorite activities we do. Serving in the YW presidency keeps me extremely busy but I really love it! The girls and leaders I get to serve with are awesome and bouy me up so much! Thanks to all of you -I love you!

Random Family Pics

Ty would be so mad if he knew I posted this pic but I don't get pics of him very ofter without him sticking his tongue out or putting his hand in front of his face, etc.





Tylie took this pic of me and told me she feels bad that we don't have any pictures of me (I'm always behind the camera!)

Halloween 2009

First Snow

I don't like this cold weather one bit -I don't mind the snow but the cold wind is miserable! I'm glad the kids had so much fun playing in it!

Halloween Carnival

The youth group put on a Halloween Carnival for the primary kids. It was a lot of work but the kids all had a blast! The YM had a spook alley that was awesome! Crey went through it twice and apparently the second time was way scarier than the first. He still is having trouble sleeping at night because of "that spooky alley!"

Daddy's Never Grow Up

Ty sure makes this bike look fun!

A Day at the Park

It was red ribbon week at school and the first day was crazy hair day. I am not very creative but thought both kids turned out cute. Crey even made a new friend in his class because the little boy loved Crey's hair so much.

Gosh -where does the time go? I can't believe October is just around the corner. Next thing we know it will be Christmas and snow will be on the ground -YUCK! I am not a cold weather person! The kids are doing really well in school. I can't believe how fast they grow. Ty and I were looking at our wedding pictures last week and it is amazing to look at how young all our families were. These past 11 years have gone by way too quickly. Tylie is halfway to 16 and that scares me to death to think how fast the first half went. It will be here before we know it!
I am tending again this school year. I have a 1 year old, 3 year old, two 4 year olds and a 5 year old. It keeps me really busy! I was also released as secretary in the YW in our ward and put in as the 1st councilor. I really love my calling! The leaders and girls are so much fun and it really keeps me young. We do a lot of fun activities throughtout the year and I am glad I get to participate.
Ty is back home and working in St. George. He is really glad to be home after being away all summer. He was called as the Elders quorem secretary about a month ago and also still serves on the town board so he stays pretty busy outside of work. We don't see each other much during the week because I have dance, mutual, piano lessons for Tylie and I, and acheivement days. Plus all our meetings we have to attend for our church callings, town board and visiting & home teaching it keeps us really busy in the evenings! The weekends are nice to get to spend some good quality family time. Now that Tyler's hunts are over it's time to get out and try to find a big buck for me so that will keep us busy these next couple of weekends. We are also getting together with some of Lorraine's side of the family this Sunday. We are all pretty excited to get to see everyone again! I am so grateful that we all get along so well!
Dale and Suz are really enjoying their mission. They are really busy teaching. They are falling in love with the people over there and ask for all our prayers that they will feel the spirit and accept the gospel. Dale had carpal tunnel surgery a couple of weeks ago but is starting to heal and gain mobility of his fingers and hand again. We sure miss them but know they are where they're suppose to be.

We finally were able to go camping. Ty drew out for the antelope hunt and was able to get one last Friday. He also had archery deer and elk tags this year but was in Monticello and wasn't able to hunt. I drew a rifle deer tag and can't wait for it to be my turn to get out in the hills. Doesn't back strap sound good right now -mmmmm. . .

Crey has caught the "bug" as we call it. He loves to hunt and shoot his bb gun. He wants to shoot all of our guns but we have told him he needs to wait until he's a little older. He is constantly asking to go hunting now. He told us the other day that he wants to be big like Uncle Devin because then he can hunt "deers" and elk. Tylie also likes to shoot but she isn't as addicted as her little brother. It will be so much fun when the kids get old enough to hunt so we can all go together.
