Happy Halloween!


Courtney and Brooke

Matthew and Carson

Maddi, Carie & Courtney

Katie and Cassidy (Notice Katie's new look -- NO BRACES! She actually got them off last week, but has been quite ill with pneumonia, gratefully she is feeling much better!)

Everyone had a fun evening -- we were lucky to catch a quick photo of everyone before they headed out the door!

Oceanside, California


We spent a fun four days in Oceanside, CA for October break. Carie has wanted us to have a family beach trip for the last two years -- ever since she she spent a week with her friends here two summers ago.

It was fun having the beach almost to ourselves.

Courtney loved looking for shells.

We all missed Kimberly, but had fun anyway!

Carie, Matthew, and Courtney had fun looking for crabs.

They even made a jump rope out of sea weed!

Everyone had fun boogie boarding and trying to surf!



It was especially fun to spend an afternoon with the Estes family! The kids played in the waves, and built sand castles, and then we all had a late lunch at the harbor.




The weather was a little chilly for the beach, but by running to the hot tub every couple of hours, the kids managed to play at the beach all day!

It was a fun trip -- now everyone is hoping we can go again.

Courtney's Baptism

Courtney was baptized today!


She was so excited and looked beautiful.

She was baptized and confirmed by ET. Grandma Virginia and Grandpa Tom gave the talks and Courtney sang, "When I am Baptized."


It was wonderful to have so many family members and friends there to support her. It has been especially fun to have Kimberly home for this special occasion.

Homecoming

Katie was thrilled to have the Junior float finished!

We were thrilled that it stayed together for the whole Homecoming parade!

It was fun to see Haley riding in the parade as Homecoming Royalty and extra fun to find out that she won Homecoming Queen!

It was extra special to have both grandmas here!

Poston Football

Carie cheered at her first football game on September 2, 2010.
It's pretty fun when your cousin scores three touchdowns!

We are looking forward to watching Carie and Clark this year at Poston.
